    We see inflation all the time. Every country that ramped up the printing during covid also saw increased inflation. Most countries stop printing before hyperinflation, we can even see in real time with Argentina that stopping the printing slows the inflation.

          how many dollars do you need to print to cause a dollar to lose one penny of value?
