the spike on the m1 chart is not due to to inflation
the conspiracy theorists and armchair economists have been screaming that all the "money printing" is going to cause hyperinflation any day now for decades. eventually yeah we got some inflation, even a broken clock is right twice a day. their ideas have zero explanatory power. if they did, how come we (and especially Japan) didn't get hYpErInFlaTioN decades ago, and STILL don't have it today?
The amount of money printed since 2020 was literally unprecedented. Look at the M1 chart:
