Inflation is stealth debt relief.
- int_19h 5y agoIt is, but that largely benefits the middle class (which has much better access to debt), not people living paycheck-to-paycheck.

What doesn't work for them is when there's massive asset bubbles like we've had for 30 years, but their wages are held flat.
