The fact that stocks continue to rise, along with CEO salaries and corporate profits, disproves your assertion that the money supply is responsible for current inflation. If companies that actually make the goods that are measured to determine inflation were in dire straights their share price would falter and shareholder value along with it.

They certainly wouldn't be buying back their shares and giving lavish raises to management. I'm far from a fan of Warren, but even a blind hog finds an occasional acorn. America has an infatuation with markets as the solution to all problems, similar to the hammer as the only tool available to the person who sees all problems as nails. This neoliberal style of governance has infiltrated both parties to the extent that they no longer represent the people.
