    I feel like this CONSTANTLY happens and people just eat it. Prices skyrocket. Then they stop rising or maybe even dip a little but still remain way higher than they originally were and… Problem solved! It’s stabilized! In fact prices are DROPPING! huzzah!

    Makes me wonder if people are really this easily fooled or are they all just being ignored? Lol

      Literally yes. Prices go up, wages go up, that’s a healthy economy. Take an economics class.

      If prices ever start broadly going down, prepare for a massive economic ass fucking the likes of which you’ve never seen and clearly can’t imagine.

        Line go up is just a cult, nothing else.

        Ideally the economy is just something you need to plan, to stay stable and anticipate environmental and population concerns. It shouldn’t need to go up or down to maintain production.

        This “homelessness goes up but so does GDP so it’s okay” shit is unworkable, cruel and unsustainable and only benefits bezos et al

          Christ alive you have no idea what you’re talking about. Have you ever studied economics? At all? Or are you just posting your fee fees?

          Would you go into a hospital and start lecturing doctors on how their practice is bullshit? Sure, there are probably a lot of things that could be improved, but you don’t have the knowledge to speak about them. Take some courses, then come back and speak from an informed perspective.

          “Planned economy” is a 12 year old’s idea of how things should be.
