It is natural. It’s something that is suppose to happen in a healthy economy. When businesses do well, they should increase wages, when wages increases demand for goods and services increases and supply decreases, when supply decreases cost goes up. That is inflation. It is normal when things are going correctly. Currently everything is shitty and the Fed is throwing money at the economy to keep us out of a recession. They’ve been doing that since trumps first term and it’s the reason our debt is out of control.

Something that on a (not even really consider how long humans have been around) long timeline isn't possible. It's just not. It's like if Newton saw an apple fall from a tree, and immediately looked away before it hit the ground so he said that means gravity always accelerates a dropped item faster and faster and it will never stop even when the ground shows up it will just barrel thru the entire planet and out the other side.... The reason you think it can go on growing forever, is youre thinking on way too small of a timeline. Like, that's the main problem with today's economy...
