    Is this the third or fourth excuse in the last 5 or so years for the excessively rich to rinse the rest of us of more money and go off and hoard it? Isn’t it time that the excessively wealthy did their part in this forever-“cost of living”-crisis?

      No. The whole purpose of neoliberlism’s shock doctrine is the devalue currency and increase capital wealth. It’s aim is to make us poorer and make the rich richer.

        Yeah, negative inflation is a short-cut to economic collapse. Imagine if you knew a thing you wanted to buy would be 10% cheaper in a week and 25% in two weeks. Why would you buy anything today?
