> You understand there are targets for inflation, right? Meaning the goal is not 0%. The problem with the last decade is that inflation has been lower than expected and the strengthening dollar has caused its own problems.
Except John Williams is showing real inflation to be around "9.0% in Aggregate, 16.0% in Goods and 5.6% in Services". Is 9% the target?
> Your citation is that proper don’t like spending their money? Really? That’s exactly my original point about the issue with cognitive biases.
Not sure what you are trying to convey here. It's not like you used any citations. I'm not asking for one anyways. I was hoping to be able to discuss simple logic & simple observations without the need to invoke the "experts" with their narrow fields of expertise. You obviously have cognitive biases as well. I hope you don't think you are some arbiter of truth because you are way off the mark.
>People don’t want to pay and simultaneously don’t want to give up government programs. That is not a rational stance
Government programs are expensive & ultimately don't work. I'd rather have a free(ish) market create solutions. There are few true free markets, since almost every market is regulated (except the "black market"). There are more solutions than the electric grid as it currently stands.
The best solution is for people to be educated on how our climate systems work, our solar cycles, our movement through the cosmos, & the impact of electricity & magnetism on our planetary systems. Not this APGW nonsense that has wasted so much money & time.

I’ve already conceded inflation has happened, but it tends to be transitory type. Or did you miss that part of the discussion? Even if your source was reliable, it doesn’t display the type of evidence I think you assume it does. It’s fairly clear you start with a conclusion and work backwards, disregarding anything that’s inconvenient from the conversation. I’ve given you citations elsewhere. But the larger point your statement portrays is that there literally no evidence that can be provided to change your mind. That’s not a productive person to try and maintain a dialogue with.
