Read a post from my nephew today, who is a financial advisor, explaining to his following how inflation works and that it is "a fundamental feature of capitalism." Moreover, he told them "Prices dropping is called deflation, and while that might sound good, it's actually really bad for the economy." Trying to decide whether it is worth my time to educate him... All of the responses he got were from folks thanking him for helping them understand inflation and why it is necessary that things get more expensive all the time...
