An increase in the money supply will raise the price of everything - not sure I get your point

The fact that there is inflation (as there has always been since the Fed was created) does not force anyone to raise the cost of a good or a service, or justify major price hikes in all cases.

If you own an apartment building and your primary expense is a fixed-rate mortgage, the fact that gasoline and food prices are going through the roof does not have a major or immediate impact on your operation. You may want to make more (who doesn’t) but a 9.5% increase in rental rates in one year cannot be justified by inflation alone.
