The first business receiving inflated prices does not really affect what their suppliers are charging them does it? When a business makes more money and if there is competition they can afford to sell at a lower price and still make profit. And they can invest in making production cheaper which will eventually decrease prices, one could think.
Good points about why inflation is bad. I was just wondering if it is self-correcting problem then it can not be very bad. It seems like a complicated problem. Except supply-side inflation is easy to understand.
