Of course - inflation is a complex multi-variable equation. I have dealt with complex things all my life.

But we know that a doubling of gasoline in a short period of time by itself will cause inflation as it infects the whole supply chain. There are many root causes at play but Biden’s regulations shoulder much of the blame.

It is a factor in the current rate of inflation. But as I have said, we've had periods with higher oil prices but much lower inflation rates so your insistence that it is driving our current inflation rates is not necessarily correct.

There are many factors at play, that is true. For our current inflation it's likely that the seeds were planted when Trump was in office. Biden's policies certainly haven't helped and likely made things worse. International supply chain issues, COVID shutdowns, Ukraine, all play a part.
