We aren't having massive inflation yet because we have labor from China and other countries producing goods for us. When one producer goes down, another ramps up.

If America were producing its own things alone, the supply shock would have pushed inflation much much higher.

I thought China's production has suffered even more than ours due to the COVID restrictions.

And when China went down, Vietnam, Indonesia and India ramped up.

We are extremely privileged to be able to acquire resources even if one producer goes down.
