It’s becoming really annoying.
I never understood why inflation was a good thing. I understand why it happens. But I can’t wrap my head around the value of your money going down being good.
Maybe so you actually spend it. But then it also keeps you from saving up for bigger purchases or having some emergency money tucked away.

The value of everything changes. Time is not static. What maybe useless today may be of great value tomorrow and that value has to be tracked.
A system without money is just a system where the actual currency isn't obvious.

I think the problem is in the “measuring someone’s worth using an arbitrary number”, and not the money itself.
It’s that human worth shouldn’t be attached to a random hierarchical tool, whose main function is to distribute violence.

I agreed until you said that money was made to cause violence.

Who said anything about no money?
