So…. Inflation is bad for consumers, but Deflation, prices going down… is apparently also bad. So… how do we actually address high prices? /u/rendumguy No such thing as stupid questions

I get that deflation is apparently way worse than inflation, because it disgourages people from buying until later, but I can’t help feel that it seems like a scam.

Companies can raise prices as much as they want, and screw over consumers, but God forbid that prices go down or the economy crashes. How unfair is that?
