Deflation is a bad thing. It also doesn’t necessarily mean things get more affordable for people.

It’s a serious issue and is not good for the country or the people in the country.

In fact it’s usual that the central banks main goal is to stop deflation. That’s why central banks are usually separated from government policy also. Deflation is such a huge concern the central bank can overrule the wishes of the government and put in measures that will lead to a recession. Deflation is worse than recessions.

Economics is a lot more complicated than all the memes on this website of. Capitalism bad, communism good.

Deflation is a bad thing

In theory. In reality and for the wealthy, the average person is fucked either way today.

Only somebody ate up with the cancerous ideology of capitalism would say something so ignorant. I’m sorry, son. You’re terminal.

It’s not my fault you don’t like something you don’t understand. That’s true ignorance. Try educating yourself. Go watch a YouTube video or something on why deflation is bad.

Not the OP you were talking to, but I have to object to what you say is ignorance, even though you might be saying it about OP specifically. You probably think everybody thinks of deflation like this.

Deflation is bad -> I believe this is true. But that’s not the point.

The current economy is setup this way to make anything other than rampant consumerism and aggressive capitalism a country-destroying phenomenon -> This is what irks people. The rich and powerful have setup a shitty rube-goldberg machine that makes their lives better at the expense of the commonfolk, environment, and everybody else’s sanity.

Maybe you should worry about your steady diet of bootleather before you worry about me.
