    The cost of all stuffed animals at a thrift shop.

    Then I could easily work on increasing the amount of rescues I will have. It's currently 1.5 rescue to 4 others ( purchased at a store, gift shop, gift, etcetera ).

    My goal to someday have more rescues than store bought would be a little easier.

    Oh yeah, and kids would have an easier time accessing them because $1 stuffed animals are a lot easier to convince a parent to buy than a $5.99 stuffed animal. But I don't like kids, so they were an afterthought!

      That could actually make it a viable currency. Unless you mean the entirety of all bitcoin in which case lol.

        Henceforth, $1 shall cost $1. Inflation solved.

          You want to sell an apple for 3€. That is 6 × 50 ct. For every 50 ct you ask in price you have to pay 1€. Therefore if you ask a price of 3€ for an apple you have to pay 6 × 1€ = 6€.

              Raising a child.

              That should cover like 90% of everything for everyone, even if you don't have kids.

                    "You obviously know nothing of how the real world works."

                    Was going to type a whole bullshit essay with random made up stats and facts to make your idle question look malicious and uninformed, but I just cant be arsed. Can we just pretend I was a cunt for mild chuckles?

                        A dollar always costs one dollar. What changes is the price of goods.

                            Thanks for the response. You gave me a lot to think about, so I opened the Wikipedia article on fiat money. The part on history was pretty cool:

                            Indeed very interesting. Honestly, it still seems that the reason for inflation is “not backed by real good and something else we don’t quite understand”, in particular considering the examples of bills of credit in North America

                                Agreed. Someone else in this thread suggested that population growth was a factor. That was an interesting take. All things being equal, I would have assumed population growth would affect the magnitude of inflation, but not its direction. I think you're right that there's definitely some unknowns. I'm not sure I want an advanced degree in economics, but that's what it might take to understand more.

                                        Time preferences would be lengthened due to lower interest rates. People would save instead of taking on more debt. It would be harder to get a loan, but your real interest rate would be lower.

                                        Instead of deliberately encouraging consumption, everyone would buy less stuff. This would be terrible for "the economy" (rich people) but great for people who live in the environment.

                                        That makes sense. It sounds like the closer to zero it gets the better. I know deflation is problematic. I wonder how close to zero is achievable. We've seen stable inflatuon of about three percent, plus or minus two for a few years in the past. I wonder if it's possible to achieve two percent, plus or minus one without going under zero.
