 who would spend money if it didnt lose value 🫠 
 Personally I'd rather starve to death in the woods while waiting for my goods and services to drop by 3% next year 
 that whole argument that money is only spent because it decays is patent, ahistorical bullshit

because it was only 50 years ago that money literally was gold, which doesn't age, and doesn't oxidise

the inflationary narrative was concocted 150 years ago and flies in the face of thousands of years of history
