What's this?

It all starts with oil. We reduced our oil production at the same time ...

that demand increased as the economy opened back up. So supply is down and demand is up ... the math is not difficult. And when oil and gas is more expensive, everything else you want to buy will be more expensive. This decision came with the additional benefit of being once again being dependent on Russia/OPEC for oil which we had stopped just a year ago. Simply awful.
