What terrifies me is inflationl, esp what we had in the 1980s.
Inflation is basically a tax, a very unfair tax.

It discourages savings and encourages wasteful consumption.

There are many who do like inflation for various selfish reasons
because their particular segment of the economy is strengthened; but
at the expense of everyone else.
