Anything's possible when you make shit up

Ah okay, seems you haven't ever been outside of the US and don't know how actually functional economic models work.

There is nowhere on earth where your ideas about inflation are anything other than fucking moronic, log off and read a book

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Mate, I've probably read more books than you, but that doesn't change the simple fact that if you're rich and the economy is inflating, your money loses its value when stored as literal cash with no yields, whereas if there's no inflation, it's safe to keep it as cash and it'll never lose value. Conversely, the working class usually is not sitting on a ton of cash that would lose value over time... And often have loans which become less impactful with inflation since salaries rise, but the loan principal does not. If your salary goes up 2x over 15 years but your mortgage stays the same, that means your life gets easier over time.

This is really basic economics, you don't even need to take a course to figure it out.

In reality there are options other than "cash no yield" and "circulating in a way that helps anyone else", and reality is something that basic economics famously does not account for at all. Keep reading.

I mean if you can't even grasp basic economics then how are you going to understand actual reality?
