Not the OP you were talking to, but I have to object to what you say is ignorance, even though you might be saying it about OP specifically. You probably think everybody thinks of deflation like this.
Deflation is bad -> I believe this is true. But that’s not the point.
The current economy is setup this way to make anything other than rampant consumerism and aggressive capitalism a country-destroying phenomenon -> This is what irks people. The rich and powerful have setup a shitty rube-goldberg machine that makes their lives better at the expense of the commonfolk, environment, and everybody else’s sanity.

Only somebody ate up with the cancerous ideology of capitalism would say something so ignorant. I’m sorry, son. You’re terminal.

Maybe you should worry about your steady diet of bootleather before you worry about me.

In theory. In reality and for the wealthy, the average person is fucked either way today.
