T-Rex: Inflation is bad, right? Because then prices go up, or "inflate", and money's purchasing value goes down!!
T-Rex: Lots of economists think inflation is bad!!
T-Rex: But HEAR ME OUT, because most wealth today is stored digitally rather than in literal cash. So what's to stop us from saying "hey, starting today, every bank account has TWICE as much money in it, increasing its value by 2x and setting inflation back decades, you're welcome"??
Dromiceiomimus: ...Lots?
Utahraptor: Doubling money would actually just INCREASE inflation.
T-Rex: Then halve it! Whichever one works!!
T-Rex: And YES, cash isn't affected, but there's less of it so no bigs!
Utahraptor: T-Rex, you're acting like someone who read the ONE fact about inflation, came up with a facile solution, wondered why nobody else had tried it yet, then concluded you must be a genius and everyone else is an idiot.
T-Rex: Yes
