So as workers/employees were asking for higher salaries the main message we heard from many was: "We can't do that because it will cause inflation". Now that there are articles that say inflation was in fact not caused by increased wages, it's suddenly not interesting anymore where the price increases are coming from?

It definitely is interesting, the issue is that the current inflation is causing a wealth transfer from wage earners to investors/capital owners.

That is interesting, because it destabilizes society and we should definitely look into where or who is profiting from the price increases.

You can ignore what your counterparty is saying in a price negotiation. There is no reason it has to reflect reality. Like when an employer says employees are a “family”.
