INFLATION: '...the stork did not bring it from overseas.'


"Sigh.
    "Did nobody have 'The Talk' with Kiwis? 
    "Inflation isn't made by minimum wages going up. 
    "Neither is it made by supermarkets. 
    "Nor did the stork bring it from overseas. 
    "Inflation is made when a Reserve Bank Governor loves a Minister of Finance very much and prints lots of money."
~ economist Eric Crampton, explaining reality to a Twit [see also here for The Talk]

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
