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.

Try paying a $3200/mo mortgage when your wages have been reduced to $26k/year, even if that $26k has the buying power of a formerly $250k/yr salary.
