Who wouldn't like prices to start falling? Careful what you wish for, economists say - Breitbart
Many Americans are in a sour mood about the economy for one main reason: Prices feel too high Who wouldn't like prices to start falling? Careful what you
Miss me with that bullshit. I want to feed my family. I could care less about Wall Street gamblers. They are the reason folk lose jobs and homes.
I call BS. Walmart became the worlds largest retailer by pushing its vendors to lower the price each year or no contract renewal. Intentional deflation works for everybody when they want it to.
Inflation isn't "prices going up", it's the value of our currency going down. It's a problem of having a fiat currency (paper not based on gold). Fiat allows government to make bad investments on things like social programs (to influence votes) and warfare.
Deflation is selling goods under their value, it's a last ditch effort to get something, but cuts into the ability for business to continue to function and resupply. They can't maintain and layoffs spiral.
Deflation is falling cost of production, and /or rising value of a currency based on a non inflatable standard (silver ,gold , copper , conch shells)
Thanks for that. My bad.
If inflation is the value of our currency going down. Then deflation is the value of our currency going up, not "prices doing down". The problem comes from salaries increasing to keep up with the cost of living. But you can't just start cutting salaries when things go back to normal. That's why layoffs happen. Because salaries are now too high.
In a perfect world, yes. But the value of our currency doesn't go up. We are over our heads in debt. We are slaves to the bankers.
Deflation in a bad economy is rushing to sell product before it decreases any more (fire sale). A company can't survive not making a profit, unless it's propped up by something else, companies like Amazon, Walmart, Apple seem to have unseen benefactors keeping them going. It's a racket. The lockdowns made it more obvious, you couldn't go to a mom & pop store, but you could go to Walmart!
This is b.s. Deflation doesn't cause people to quit their spending practices. Inflation does that. What this article suggests, by using the Bank of England as a main source, is that with deflation comes lower "profits" for investors, which on the surface would seem accurate, but it's not. The reason why the Japanese weren't spending as much in the early 2000's was from their currency valuation being upside down in relation to Western currencies like the USD, British Pound, and Deutsch Mark. They had a period of inflation for almost 50 yrs after WWII, due to them having to pay reparations to every so ereign nation they harmed during that war. Once they got their economy under control, the [el'ites] in charge of their financial system wuit seeing the profits [they] were used to. There wasn't a spending crisis in Japan, there was a "profits crisis" that was affecting [their] financial dominance over The People.
It's a simple fact of economics that once a currency starts experiencing inflation, it's hard to keep it under control to prevent the type of inflation we saw with the Webinar Republic, and to a lesser extent, the rest of the world during the Great Depression. Letting theses ass hats manipulate the speculation market along with currency valuations is what led to the Great Depression. And we haven't learned our lessons from that era or the so-called Great Recession under [Dubya]/[Hussein], or the Recession of the late 70's-very early 90's, because if the worldwide inflationary trend continues, we will inflate ourselves out of the Central Bank scams weve been under since 1913.
The only way to get prices across the board under control is to put our currencies back intto a previous metals backed hard currency that will hokd it's wealth over long periods of time (meaning forever).
Thanks, I didn't think this was accurate, we can't trust the Fed or CONgress to be any real help since the system is dying. I'm trying to invest in physical useful items that will be available when the currency loses value.
A lot of what we pay is based on artificial scarcity. Energy is probably the biggest commodity where this comes into play. And, energy affects the end price of everything. Reverse the Biden-Democrat energy policies and prices will drop dramatically.
Rockefeller came up with the fossil fuel limited supply BS and it still continues to this day. Kept the price of oil and natural gas up since he developed the industry.
Same scheme as DeBeers has been doing with shiny carbon chunks since they cornered the market.
