Never totally discount _deflationary_ scenarios.

based on my understanding of what all the financial pros are saying: they'll never let that happen. they'll inflate away to the moon before they allow for a deflationary bust. that's why everyone's in equities in the first place. it's almost insured, at this point.

They've been trying. ZIRP was a whole decade of giving unlimited free money to the rich and it still didn't work.

Free money to the poor would raise inflation but they'd never do that because the poor would have more money.
