a note on inflation: if the price of everything increases (wages included), all that changes is an arbitrary number of funny money units changing hands at each and every step. at best, inflation is entirely redundant, as everything would work exactly as it did with less funny money units being moved around.
in reality, the price of everything increases but wages do not, so it's really just a convoluted way of the already ultra rich just siphoning even more money off the top to store away in their hoards, never to be seen or spent again.
