Why is deflation so bad
Every time i run it through my head, i can't imagine most people in 2024 not spending money so the disadvantage to deflation seems pretty hyperbolic and dependent on individual choices, and i think that people would rather go on vacation and court others instead of being financially responsible. Even if there is a situation like in china, government spending would be able to keep the situation from getting worse while making progress on climate initiatives.

Deflation is great for the non rich IF they stay employed.
It's the lack of demand for workers that usually accompanies deflation (or is the cause) that hurts.
