    A little bit of inflation is a good thing.

    Edit: Lots of misunderstanding my point. My fault for not being crystal clear. This guy Nick Adams says “inflation is non-existent” like that would somehow be a good thing. Non-existent inflation would be a bad thing.

    A little bit of inflation is a good thing, and non-existent inflation shouldn’t be the goal.

        Yes, but the original post says “inflation is non-existent”, which is bad. I was just pointing out the stupidity of Nick Adams, whoever that is.

      You mean the inflation we narrowly escaped last administration? The inflation that was easing but is now raging? Yeah.

        The original post says “inflation is non-existent”, which would be bad but they are claiming it’s somehow good (despite being 100% false). I was just pointing out the stupidity of Nick Adams, whoever that is.

      Inflation isn’t a problem if everything else keeps in step with it. But it doesn’t work that way, sometimes things lag behind for years, or decades.

      The inflation rn is not “a little bit”, plus add corporate price gouging on top of it…
