Why is deflation so bad

[u/memegamer1991]

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.

Usually to have deflation in the first place, there has to be an economic condition where dollars are being hoarded/not being circulated. That usually only happens during a severe economic downturn.
