Stuff gets cheaper, so you can buy more with your money. You also lose your job and no longer have money to buy cheaper stuff.

Its always the threat of job loss. I have already lost my job. That threat is meaningless

[u/No-swimming-pool → u/thevoidthatjerksback]

Most people haven't, so it'll be worse for them.

It's also not a threat. It's what will happen if a recession is bad enough.

What about everyone else? Fuck ‘em?

How do you eat right now? Whatever source of that food you have - you might lose it as well as a result.

[u/Pale_Dark_656 → u/thevoidthatjerksback]

You lost your job but you don't care because prices are going down. The factories that build stuff have to fire more and more employees to make ends meet because anyone with money would rather hoard it to wait for even lower prices. You are still unemployed, but now so is a lot of people. Your chances of getting a new job are even lower than before. Higher unemployment leads to higher crime, and the rich guys can afford to live in gated communities with private guards, so your chances of getting robbed are higher than before.

[u/cycloneDM → u/thevoidthatjerksback]

Think less of it then as losing your job and more that any job you get in the future will pay less and that while you make less and everything you own is worth less the stuff we import will still continue to rise in price because thier economy wont be deflating

Oh no he’s a dummy
