No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I'm going to disagree with the crowd so far, respectfully, and say yes it does happen and is hapening now.
Defining inflation loosely as more dollars chasing fewer goods, anything that adds dollars or makes fewer good is inflationary.
When the wealthy become filthy stinking rich, they start taking that capital and malallocating it economically. If food is expensive, building sufficient greenhouses can return food prices to something bearable. The super-stinking filthy rich prefer to deploy capital on super-yacht-makers, private jets, space programs or similar world dominating power grabs. They have no interest in reducing hunger or helping lower prices for food. You can starve to death for all they care.
Equally, the more moderately rich would rather buy up all the rental housing via investment funds and jack up rents squeezing everyone, rather than building homes anyone can afford to live in. When homes are priced as a financial instrument and not a residence, normal people are pushed out of the market completely and we are left with a tight supply, a captured market and crushing inflationary housing costs. The people crushed by rent can never get into the market, and the people in the market never want prices down ever again.
Just a few examples, but it happens everywhere. All the free market fundamentalist nonsense is bullshit and assumes altruistic rational financial actors and a well regulated market. We have neither.

the financialisation of everything and investments there-in create huge inflationary pressure
This doesn't sound like it's in disagreement.
At thebtime I wrote this there were 2 or three lengthy "no" responses. I was disagreeing with them.
