    Well then, mr. economy understander, maybe you can explain to us who raises the prices. Saying that money devaluates because more currency is being issued shows an utterly infantile understanding of how the economy works on your part. Money doesn’t just magically lose value just because more currency is issued, as anybody who has a clue regarding how monetary systems work would understand.

    Also, not sure why anybody would think a cabal of businessmen deciding to raise prices would be necessary. A rational person would understand that businessmen can have a shared class interest while acting completely independently. Businesses raise prices because they want to increase their profits, there’s no grand conspiracy needed. The fact that you can’t even understand such basic things suggests that you’re in no position to deride actual economists just because they happen to use the medium of youtube to explain things.

          It is a conscious decision by those who print money. I don’t think you even googled it or know what it is. You too can be an economy understander with very little effort if you were so inclined.

            Imagine not understanding that large financial capitalists are in fact the ones who own the money printers. You too can be an economy understander with very little effort if you spent a bit of time actually understand about the subject you’re opining on.

              You’re wrong about almost everything you believe and you should educate yourself rather than protect your ego. Feeling right is candy, learning is sustenance.

                  Why would you be offended? Why not just consider it possible and learn things? Why default to ego protection when you can default to growing as a person?

                    Because I’ve seen what you have to say, and it’s pretty clear there’s not much to be learned here. Perhaps you should take your own advice and try to learn things instead of running around smugly arguing with people who know more than you on the subject.
