The FED is not printing money because of QE ( which i think does very little) it is printing money with the stimulus checks (which is real money in the bank for those who get them). QE did nothing for most people, but getting a check in the mail that you can deposit in your bank account and spent is something tangible that boost spending for sure. I do think any inflationary shock is transitory and is similar to what we have seen in 2010/11 when commodities also exploded in price post the financial crisis shock. Many of the same commodities are running now as well - the outlier being lumber which did not run much in 2010 because housing was still bottoming out and never fully recovered until now. I think prices and shortages will normalize within 6-12 month.
