US Politics on Yik Yak | Can somebody honestly explain to me why we can’t just cut back prices back 50% slowly over the course of a year? Instead of $500,000 homes could be $250,000 average. Instead of $4/g gas could be $2/g. How would that break a system?

We’d need to strengthen the dollar for that to happen, which is kinda the opposite of what happens every year due to inflation

because capitalism fundamentally requires infinite growth. that’s why it’s incompatible with continued human life on earth, we have finite resources.

Bc then billionaires will be sad they have less money and IG guess that’s bad or smth. Glory to the billionaires. Glory to the eternal dollar.

They’d have less money. They’d have to sell things for less. They’d never do that.
