      I haven’t heard about that but I doubt it. Deflation is horrible. It stops economies from functioning. Your money will be worth more the longer you wait to spend it, so you don’t spend it until you need to. No government is going to let deflation happen without something going horribly wrong, which it might be, idk.

      Edit: apparently the consumer sector experienced deflation. I believe that means it shrank, not the value of money increased over time, which is what is implied by inflation/deflation without other context. I could be wrong though. Either way, it doesn’t look great.
