Economists want to pretend that undoing the 20% rise in prices (much more for many items) would be catastrophic, but I highly disagree.

There is no position that should not be able to withstand a little scrutiny (and vaccines have withstood it fine). There has been so few modern examples of deflation, it is hard for them to point to any empirical evidence. And economists, who typically see salaries supported by the rich and powerful, are not exactly unbiased.

But, yeah, fuck me for being angry that my earning power has been massively decreased.

Dudes a upper management type who spends his whole work day(wow almost like his job isn't actually that difficult) lecturing people on Lemmy why they should just be happy or make some simple changes to fix their own problems. Read his comment history it's hilarious.
