    I think its more weird that in this situation where the cost of goods is raising faster then even the ’ normal ‘ rate faster then wages… you guys respond with it being preferable to the polar opposite…

    Sure you may be dying of thirst, but it’s better then drowning! Completely ignoring like reason and stuff.

      The situations end up exactly the same. Either things cost more than you can afford, or your money ain’t worth shit to be able to afford anything. The only real difference is which number is fucked up: the price of the goods or the value of your money.

        Sounds like an intrinsic flaw of monetary based economics then.

        Maybe we should do something about it? It isn’t like alternatives don’t exist.
