I have no idea but I'm laughing because HN is almost always wrong about these things.

I remember about a year back reading a thread here about the UN FAO food price index showing inflation and most of the responses were about how wrong it was to say that there was inflation, how it won't correlate with that index, etc, etc. The funniest thing about that thread, IMHO, was the surety and confidence of all the responses.

If someone is answering this prompt with confidence, chances are they have no idea what they are talking about.

This, plus at that time you would be downvoted to extinction if you dared suggest that printing so many dollars will unavoidably bring inflation.
These remind me of finance people talking about tech. They use the right words but in semantically meaningless sentences.
