Can we get a (2021) tag on this? I mean, sure, it was written a couple weeks ago, but it's written from the viewpoint of a hypothetical future, and it's confusing if you miss the date at the top.
- pimlottc 11y agoYes, please. I thought you were joking at first, before I realized this piece is literally speculative fiction.
- rm445 11y agoIf someone doesn't recognise it as fiction in the third paragraph - a decade of deflation and hyper-deflation? - they're unlikely to be able to take much away from the article anyway. (And that's before the end of the paragraph, which talks about negative interest rates since 2019).

- dang 11y agoThat's more like a numeric pun than strictly correct, but what the hell.
- delecti 11y agoThey've since updated the title, and it had me wondering if it was a typo, so I came to the comments first.
