You make a good point about people who are informed or educated enough to actually recognize that. Ignoring the future vs present worth of money aspect.

There are a shit ton of folks out there who don’t know what inflation actually is. I’d say they probably fall into the doom spending category.

I blame social media. Mainlining outrage and confirmation bias through your smart phone is one hell of a way to get high

I really hope not. You’d think it’d be difficult for a rational person to argue that Trump did not incite a rebellion on January 6th, but then again, we’re dealing with the folks who believe Jewish space lasers are a thing.
