Because all the retards stop spending money
There is no point in producing anything if people only buy essentials
This is basic
@Mr.Fisch(炫龙) wait, do you want deflation all the time or just some of the time?
> That's why delaying purchases is bad
@Mr. Nessel
It's good. Families saves for their children or take more free time for their families. This begets cultural development and family values

@McFansy
The more the better
It begets them losing their job
If things getting cheaper, then you don't need to work that much
Thigns don't get cheaper
The fewer work can buy sufficient products to live, the better
Your currency just gains value
> Thigns don't get cheaper
@Mr. Nessel
Yeah, because inflation
> Your currency just gains value
@Mr. Nessel
That's good
You don't understand what I'm saying
Then go on
Your currency is able to buy more stuff not because stuff is getting cheaper but because the currency is appreciating

@Mr. Nessel
Where is the difference?
So currency becomes an asset you hold on to rather than fullfilling it's primary purpose of being a medium of exchange
That's good
No that means people disengagae from the economy
Because again, you have time preference
You can't delay mosy consumption
Like eating, clothes, housing and drinking
It doesn't matter if it is individually good for your to delay consumption when society is burning because everyone is
Inflation just makes shortrun consumption and therefore degeneracy attractive
Or it incentivizes investment
What is worse is cheap loans

@Mr. Nessel
That's the problem... That's why socialism with taxation and inflation destroys tje wealth of average famikies
Therefore they rather go sex drugs rock roll instead of saving for children's college e.g.
No that's precisely the point against deflation
Everyone beign a rational actor in this case is fucking horrendous
It crashes the economy
Noo
It doesn't
Only if there is an inflationary credit bubble
Tell me how the economy doesn't crash if people don't spend money
It crashes because of inflationary credit bubbles
No
It crashes because deflation causes it to not run the factories since nobody is buying anything
Again
