no. inflation is really good in an economy where salaries rise.
its good to borrow money, its good for the working population (the one that makes the country thrive) and it is less good for retired people (that already own wealth and lived through better economic times)
In France think about it, the majority of the working population voted for Marine LePen, the majority of retired people voted for Macron, Young non working people voted for Melenchon. Hence why macron needs to satisfy his base, old people that retired early and now wants us to work more so that they can enjoy more their stress free life while everything is more expensive for the rest of us.

- candiodari 4y agoAs I said they did not rise to keep pace with inflation. Which means they got closer to the minimum. The minimum, btw, also dropped, expressed in real goods.
