I can't believe it hasn't hit harder and sooner to be honest. You can't just keep dumping trillions of additional money into the economy with no impact.

Are you saying that paper products and gasoline are increasing in price due to the government 'printing money like crazy?' LMAO. 

PPE production has gobbled up a ton of what would normally be readily available materials used to make diapers, paper products, etc.. Scarcity of materials = higher production costs = higher prices. Kimberly-Clark even says as much in their press release. 

And gas prices rise every year as it gets warmer. Couple that with increased demand due to the country slowly opening back up and you have increases in price.
