    Actually, it will never go negative (I hope) because if it goes negative we’re probably in for a massive global recession that will introduce untold suffering.

    You think they aim for 2% because that’s what’s good for rich people? 2% is the magic number for the whole economy.

      Who taught you that? Remember, economists funded by rich people have obvious biases… And what happens if our salaries and pensions are indexed to the cost of living? Is the reasoning still good?

        Just learned I was funded by rich people. Did I miss a paycheck somewhere?
