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 no one will voluntarily take a pay cut even if you tell them prices of everything are dropping. We couldn’t go back to pre-pandemic times even if we wanted to since so many people have left the labor market which only drives prices up.
