The only reason those people are saying that is because they have skin in the game. If they own assets ( stocks, real estate, etc…) inflation makes quality asset prices go up. Which in essence makes companies seem profitable and more likely to expand. However, that being said, when wages don’t keep up with inflation, people cannot afford to purchase the quantity needed to keep said businesses profitable, hence job cuts to save their margins. This is a house of cards, sitting on a pile of sand waiting for the tsunami of debt to come crashing down. But, to make a long explanation shorter, yes, they all take it in the butthole.
