Inflation comes in different flavors. If all you do is print and hand out 1bn to each citizen, they'll just be able to outspend other dollar holders in the world. Prices will adjust, but the amount of real goods in the world per capita is unchanged. You're just reallocating who gets what amongst monetary savers. If your wealth is in the actual stuff people end up buying, this is very much a side concern for you. Bezos is in that camp.
