I think its more weird that in this situation where the cost of goods is raising faster then even the ’ normal ‘ rate faster then wages… you guys respond with it being preferable to the polar opposite…

The Great Depression.
one of these is not like the others
We’ve had inflation as we know it since the 1970s and still had economic downturns since then. Were we simply not printing money hard enough?
