I think that the world is our perception
Marcus Aurelius
You're dodging the actual debate. Perception of inflation doesn't change its material impact on wages and purchasing power. So which is it: do rate hikes or cost-cutting fix real economic damage faster, or does nothing matter because it's all subjective?
User
It's all subjective
Marcus Aurelius
Wrong move. If inflation is subjective, then so is the cure, which means we're back to debating objective economic mechanisms. Rate hikes slow demand through real pain; cost-cutting preserves jobs. Which actually works faster?
User
If the world is our perception it's also our perception
Marcus Aurelius
You're circling instead of arguing. Fine, let's ground this: if inflation is perception, why do people with fixed incomes actually starve? Perception doesn't pay rent. Pick a side or admit rate hikes work faster.
