Higher interest rates lower inflation by tossing people out of work so that they can’t afford to buy stuff. Things can get worse.

    Last time it took over half a million dead, including a president, and several constitutional amendments.

    Slow decline into poverty, corruption, and insanity is more likely this time imo.

      yeah I don’t get how people can support making exceptions to law to allow their stuff and then still live in a country of law and order without it being a facist state. you have to make the rules first and then abide by them not make them up as you go.
