you're thinking about inflation backwards. Inflation is 9% because producers are charging more, it's not because producers are charging more because inflation is 9%. Inflation is just a number we use to represent the reality of price increases, like how 3.5% unemployment isnt causing unemployment, it's the numerical representation of how many people are out of work. You may be thinking of expected inflation, which is different from real inflation, which is price and wage increases the public thinks are going to happen regardless of what producers actually need to charge to cover their production costs. Like if real inflation is 3% but the public thinks it's going to be 9%, they will demand 9% raises and producers raise prices accordingly to pay for higher labor costs. So in that case the extra 6% is for fake reasons

Welcome to the dismal science
