The economy would collapse if the government didn't steal 3% of our money every year 
Discussion
who would spend money if it didnt lose value π«
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
3%? Tou livre in very wealthy place, sir, if the government only takes 3%
I think he's talking about about 3% Inflation. Maybe, which is still way too high.
Still a very low inflation. Our minimum around here is 4%... Closer to 5 usually.
I totally hear you! And that's my point...it's too high. I'm not sure how we got used to any number above 0 as "okay" inflation. Any percent above 0 is that much of your income being reduced yearly. Getting that 2% annual income boost is a farce...we didn't gain anything. And if inflation is above 2% (which it is), we lost money.

might not call that an economy π€·
3%?! I think thatβs closer to 7%.
