2% inflation rate is under control (if population/productivity is growing by that much.)
6% inflation is NOT under control. Trying to put some temporary "trend" spin on this is just that.. a spin. Data is data.
For sure, I've been seeing a lot more inflation than that in real world price increases.
But even the 6% figure is still 300% of what the Fed targets inflation for PCE.
Wage growth doesn't help many of us who are about to stop earning earning wages when we retire and have our greatly devalued stash $ to live on after a few years of skyrocketing inflation and counting. Instead, the wage growth feeds inflation.
