    Nono, just joking. I’ve recently been noticing that practically everything I see is Nestlé under a different brand 😂

    Exactly, the bottom 10% don’t have enough money, meaning that any money you give them will go towards consumption. The top bracket’s spending as % of income or wealth is tiny and is mostly independent of their income. Their money is spent on investments, not basic goods and services. They practically don’t affect inflation.

    I think money should be printed during periods of low inflation. E.g. Japan could have benefited from that. After this bout is over, governments can return to printing, carefully.

    Nono, inflation is the right word. Inflation isn't caused by the money supply, but by supply vs demand. If demand suddenly increases, there will be inflation. If a lot of money is printed and is thrown in a hole, money supply will increase, but there'll be no inflation.

    Seems that a chunk of this platform's userbase are people generally angry at the establishment who upvote everything that wants to bring it down and downvote everything that rejects the idea. Happy that there's many reasonable people here too :)

    I already know I'm gonna be downvoted for this, but the top 1%/0.1% spending isn't gonna change, whereas the bottom 10% will cause inflation... That's why there's no magic bullet.

    I've yet to make an account on Mastodon and I'm wondering, how good are its consistency guarantees? Do posts get lost? Will they eventually get to all federated instances? From my Lemmy experience, posts do get lost here, from time to time. Is it the same on Mastodon?

    It looks like the [lack of persistent storage](https://github.com/LemmyNet/activitypub-federation-rust/issues/31) for the federated activity queue is leading to instances [running out of memory](https://lemmy.world/post/1035095) in a matter of hours. See [my comment](https://lemmynsfw.com/comment/298949) for more details. Furthermore, this leads to data loss, since there is no other consistency mechanism. I think it might be a high priority issue, taking into account the current momentum behind growth of Lemmy...
