    Kinda related: At some point I realized inflation is actually kinda good when you have no assets and large debt, because it effectively shrinks your debt. The problem is, I only thought about it well after paying off my debts and gaining some assets, so now I feel like the guys in the pic if I talk about it.

      … and just like that, you figured out what the FED is for, and that our world economy is based on debt, with inflation used to defraud the hordes of workers from adequate wages.

      Once the inflationary economy crashes, banks buy up those previously inflated assets at rock-bottom prices, and the process begins anew.
