    The way I’ve always heard it described is that if you are in a deflationary environment, there’s no incentive to spend your money today when it will be worth more tomorrow, so it has a dampening effect on consumer spending and investment which is bad for the economy.

      Alright let’s do the deflation in one go then. Today eggs will be $6 tomorrow they will be $3, and companies can suck it the fuck up.
