I’ve been wondering this question for a while. Ignoring current events, why is a little bit of inflation desirable?
I do understand that it’s done to “stimulate” the economy so people don’t let their cash rot in a checking account, but isn’t it a zero-sum game? Everybody says that money is not meant to stay where it is, rather, should flow through the economy. But if the economy always needs injections of liquidity because otherwise it fails, isn’t the economy broken?
I feel like there’s something I can’t comprehend about that.
“<Complex subject> is complex, and lots of stupid people want it to be simple” applies to far too many subjects, and politicians tend to use that to manipulate voters when those subjects are societal.
That’s why I’ve got a doctorate in divinity. Religion is far more complicated than all these ignorant atheists think.
Not sure if that’s sarcasm or not, but it is a complex subject, and natural philosophy, what we commonly call science, isn’t designed to prove a negative.
Exactly. They can’t prove that God doesn’t exist. They’ve never even taken a theology class, let alone finished a degree and bet their entire life on it.
