Well, in many cases they were transitory. You may remember, for example, big stories about a lumber shortage from earlier in the year, until the shortage spontaneously resolved itself in July.

It spontaneously resolved as people chose to not do projects.

Feel free to lay out the entire supply chain and the numbers that support your hypothesis.

Why is it that only those making my argument must go into great detail, but those pretending you can print endlessly with no inflation do not?

You don’t have to write a dissertation about it, but if your response to prices going down after they went up is to speculate about why the downswing might be fake, I think you have to seriously consider whether your position is falsifiable. Is there any evidence that, if found, would convince you the lumber shortage was in fact transitory?
