Funny!
You are highlighting the ~7% increase since May, but there was a 570% increase since 1981!!
More “impressive” is the rate of change of M2, which went from 2% at the beginning of last year, to over 10% this year.
But there is no runaway inflation because the money is in banks, not buying goods and services.
It’s leaking out. The fed has been reporting rising required reserves and falling excess reserves, a sign of more loans being made, since July.

Looks like the ramp-up to hyperinflation.
Monetary Reform needed now!
