  • I said deflationary meaning less inflation.

    But also, deflation doesn’t stop people spending, it just means the dollar is “worth” more goods, and can stretch further. Can buy more stuff. Inflation means goods cost more, and the dollar is worth less. Can buy less stuff.

    These are measures of price. Prices go up = inflation. Prices go down = deflation.

    Japan has been in a deflationary economy for 30 years or so, and people were buying and selling stuff the whole time.


  • “The Girls’ Club of America” used the Swastika before the Nazis. It was originally a sign of good fortune and good health used by new age health types. Much closer to how we think of the Peace symbol.

    That’s why The Nazis used it, it had youth appeal and good sentiment. The Nazis advertised themselves as being a health and good living movement. That’s part of where their love of healthy ideal bodies and features came from.

    They believed in hiking, and young people forming bands, and camping and practicing music and singing and marching in alpine hikes. All very wholesome healthy stuff.

    We know now what they were, but they were seen very differently at the time.
