Prices aren't coming down. Our financial systems are built around inflation and drastic measures will be taken to fight deflation.

You can only reduce expenses so far. As purchasing power fell, steak was replaced with ground beef, and ground beef is getting replaced with beans and rice. What can replace beans and rice? Already, too many people are having sleep for dinner.

The answer is both simple and difficult: we need to get paid more.
