Why prices never return to the good old days

Like why can’t a head of lettuce go back to costing 1 cent?

Or, maybe more realistically, after dealing with crazy inflation for the last couple of years, why can’t prices just go back to pre-pandemic, pre-inflation levels, once the factors that *caused* the inflation in the first place have been resolved?

Because of what inflation means. Inflation brings the growth of almost everything. When lettuce was 1 cent, people made 500 dollars per year. If lettuce was 1 cent now, you could buy an insurmountable amount of lettuce. But of course an insurmountable amount doesn’t exist.
