Ok lets make this simple. When it takes more dollars to purchase the same things than it did 6 months ago, that means the dollar lost value. Read some Mises, Rothbard or Hazlitt. Clearly you know nothing about money, currency or economics.

Sure, it has lost value compared to, wait for it, those things. Not rocket science.
But at the same time it could have gained value compared to another currency which can also be used, directly or indirectly, to purchase those things. Yawn.
so currency A loses purchasing power over goods and services, but currency B loses purchasing power even faster, thus it looks like currency A is gaining value relative to currency B
and in your mind somehow this makes currency A gaining value overall, even though you can buy less land, beef, oil, or gold with it than a year ago.
you're the literal posterboy for fiat dude, please keep talking, its HILARIOUS.
