you're again conflating price and monetary inflation. and again mixing in somebody else's prejoratives to flavor your discussion of their topics.

No, I'm not. The idea that supply increase is inflation is a rejected Austrian economics concept with no basis in reality.

I mean it's straight-up wrong. The M2 supply in Japan tripled since 1990 and prices remained the same. Therefore your model is incomplete.

If you have 1 burger that you'd pay $10 for, and someone makes a second burger, does that make each one worth $5? No, of course not.
