   @Griffith @DW2 they should leave the prices the same still so they aren’t killed in the streets

     @Turdicus @Griffith Nixon tried price controls in the 70s. It led to shortages, because if you're limited to what you can charge for a good or service, you'll only be able to produce/offer so much before going into the red

     @Turdicus @Griffith @DW2 If there is more money supplied domestically, people then could get paid more, causing wage inflation, leading to service inflation, leading to goods inflation, etc...
     
     Inflation, technically is unavoidable in a "productive" economy, but the rate of inflation is escalated with increased spending.

     @Twoinchdestroya @Griffith @DW2 yeah that’s what it always seems like, that it’s going to happen but needs to be controlled rather than whatever they’re doing here
