  • Inflation hits the most vulnerable the hardest. Their incomes and savings are eroded directly by inflation

    Those who already own houses or are mainly invested in stocks are able to weather inflation long term (while being affected short term by higher interest interest rates on debt)

    If inflation is still high, and unemployment not rising, in who’s interest would we lower rates?

    Is it such a bad thing for home borrowers (which is who we’re really talking about) to have less disposable income while preserving the purchasing power of those who at best would like to buy, or at worst are already living paycheck to paycheck on minimum wage?

    I browse by new, so I often see the spam advertising and bad faith garbage (Logic_&_Ethics anyone?) so I just block liberally

    I literally don’t know what I’m missing

    ETA: I also don’t have a language set, so if I see a foreign language community with no English posts or comments I’ll just block it
