@sun sometimes the local money supply is just that low which translates to deflation

if bumfuck, ohio has 100 people and 100k among them mandating the remaining business owners to pay their workers 10/hr is just going to make them go "fuck it" and quit

>but the fed is printing all the time
and none of it reaches bumfuck because there's nothing there that's investable

rome collapsed partially because they ran out of silver for daily transactions btw
