1) My wish! - that policy makers (on both sides of the isle) economists and major media would "actually" debate the merits of Deflation on a first principles basis instead of blocking out all rational thought to protect a system that is so clearly failing society.
2) That way, instead of dividing society further through policies designed for a different time - and pointing fingers, we could start to imagine a world where 1) the economic systems work - 2) the abundance from technological progress is broadly shared.
3) Change your worldview - Change your world!

4) The consequences of the kicking the can down the road and not acting are entirely predictable.....and will get much worse. https://twitter.com/JeffBooth/status/1278200286775894022?s=20">https://twitter.com/JeffBooth...
5) Gaming the system through inflation so "real" pay decreases will not work...it only makes the problem worse. (even if the people you& #39;re hurting the most don& #39;t understand it)
6) All because of a failure to understand something so simple - The point of technology is to free our time - enabling less work and more abundance.
7) And Deflation might be the best way for that to happen. (at the very least - something so important for humanity is worthy of more consideration)
