Oh lordy no, deflation is really not good!

Apparently, that was an historic problem which only affected the 1920’s. This age is immune. At least that’s what all those morons hugging each other on the beach having parties and barbecues tell me. 🤦‍♀️
@Valentine no it's not immune, currency can still deflate. Japan does it to keep their currency weak, UK may have to weaken our currency but we shouldn't deliberately trigger deflation

@Valentine yes, blindly printing money is how deflate your currency, it's not a good plan
