Americans scream inflation is good, but the US did just fine with almost no inflation from 1776 to 1913.

The USA has a huge amount of debt, but inflation is low today because of technology and no one has any money.
Americans will soon regret wishing for inflation when US debt grows, trade wars push up prices, illegal immigrants are kicked out, minimum wage decrees increase prices, and US wars and sanctions drive up costs.
@dcjogger How in fucks name can you say inflation is low today? Just compare the 1999 dollar vs. the 2019 dollar, prepare yourself to be amazed.
@dcjogger - we actually had deflation for most of the 19th century, and in most of the world, not just America.
Almost every technology that we consider the foundation of the modern world was initiated in that century.
