Inflation good for companies but bad for consumer?

Is inflation good for companies that sell things, because now they can raise prices even more than inflation because everyone is used to prices going up anyway. Consumer behavior is still more limited from to having less money to spend, but at the same time is also less noticing of prices going up since they do expect it. So competition will have lower impact to control companies charging more for their stuff.

Also, companies charge more to compensate for the inflation, but consumers don’t have that option to force the company to charge less. It is an unfair balance.

I also think inflation is good for anyone who has a lot of money. They will put money in assets like houses and stocks, these things go up with inflation. Also they buy companies and now get to charge more for the same products.

Is this why 2% inflation is the goal, but they are happy with far higher? Since rich people run the world, they own the companies, so they want always inflation to push everything higher to always make more and more money, this displaces consumers more over time due to asymmetrical relationship between producer and consumer, with more wealth over time flowing up into the rich.

“Never let a good crisis go to waste”
You will never find a tragedy, a crisis, a death, suffering or anything else in life, which some wouldnt make use of.

In terms of inflation, its not really the companies that will come out on top. It will be the banks and speculants. Look at people like George Soros. His life’s work is having crippled at least 2 country’s economy in his lifetime. And thats just the economics.
Half of his institutions and NGOs are built around manufacturing tragedies and problems the rest of his shit parlor can exploit for gains.

Companies are the least of your problems in large scale economic problems like runaway inflation.
Those usually dont want you dead, unlike some of the global banking psychopaths.

The erosion of currency which they own and print out of nothing also inflationary depreciating in value overtime.

When the currency goes worthless create a huge global war, kill an unfathomable endless number of people, and then reset the monetary economic financial slave system. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.
