What are all the ways that monetary debasement consciously or unconsciously impacts human behavior?
Buying shit we don't need.
Companies can't survive without generating reoccuring revenue.
"Investing" in anything that might hold value better than money.
...what are some others?
I really need to compile a long list of things related to the negative effects of inflation with as clear & simple of a causal link or explanation for each thing as possible. Like when money doesn't hold it's value (whether people realize it or not) people see that certain kinds of goods appreciate, often rather wildly at times, & they are driven to gamble on those things.
The great pacific garbage patch is a direct result of the high velocity trash economy. That’s my go to example.

Yes, specifically the proliferation of single use plastics.
Yep. We’d still have plastics in a sound money economy and there would still be a few in the ocean, but I doubt the scale of the problem would be this large. That’s my contention anyway.
