During a hyperinflation, the majority of the population who counted on the scrip they were forced to deal with and save can only feel angry desperation as all their savings turn to ashes practically overnight.<<<

It is working, the middle class vanished and now we have poor and rich.

Junk found set out for the trash man, has more value than a dollar.

Free Cycle is a winner.

The Joys of HyperInflation

I can't figure out if we're going to see deflation or inflation (hyper or slightly less). The worst case scenario would be a period of deflation, where a lot of people lose jobs and companies close, and then hyperinflation.

It's hard to plan well for both since it would involve planning for two polar opposite events.

Which do you think, Eagle?
