> buying lots of “luxury” items drove up inflation

How so? buying stuff cures inflation. Are you referring to supply chain shortages making non-luxury stuff not get produced?

Buying stuff drives prices up and contributes to inflation, not cures. There’s the same amount of stuff but more cash, so prices go up.
