Perhaps me being really crummy with my savings will be beneficial after all

So what is the significance of this stat?  Cash has become a smaller thing from year to year. Weren’t they printing new money to prevent the spread of CÖVÌD on earlier and presumably more dirty bills?

I believe that an engineered inflation is on the way ... just not sure how this stat fits in.

I don't think hyperinflation is coming. Most people don't have savings. They have massive debts. If they have anything, they own a home with a mortgage on it. If hyperinflation came all the debts would be wiped out, and most people would be happy other than the båñkêrs who the debts are owed to. Because it will erase debts and hurt the banks who the debts are owed to, I do not think hyperinflation will be allowed to happen.

Well I guess the government could take all loans held at fixed rates of interest and turn them into variable interest rates and raise the interest to 500 percent.

There is one thing about hyperinflation that I don't understand. They say in Weimar before Hitler saved Germany for a few years, that inflation was so bad that it took a wheelbarrow full of money to buy a loaf of bread. I don't know if I can believe this. The reason being that how could they count so much money? Make sure they are the right denominations, are not counterfeit? If a wheelbarrow is needed for a loaf of bread, what would be needed for a whole order for a week's worth of groceries for a family of four. That would be a lot of bills. It would take a cashier twenty minutes to count the amount of money needed to buy a loaf of bread. It would not be worth the time it took. And if the store was busy it would be impossible to count all that money if there were more than two or three customers. So maybe those stories are lies? And if it got that bad, wouldn't it make more sense to print one million mark bill instead of a hundred thousand ten mark bills to fit in a wheelbarrow? Perhaps it is one of the lies of history. I mean it would take a whole warehouse full of money for a day's worth of purchases for one store. How would they get it to the bank? Maybe it is just a bunch of lies like everything else they teach us about history.

That was what happened, unfortunately.


At this point though, since everything is digital anyway, it would just mean you need more zeroes in your account to buy anything. So the little guys like me who have less than $500 wouldn't be hurt as badly as the ones who have tens of thousands in savings.

Well, worst-case scenario, when hyper-inflation comes, what'll happen is food, gas, medicine will skyrocket in price, and people will spend most of their money on these things, barely scraping by.  They won't have enough $ to pay off their debts.
.
Meanwhile, desperate people will sell their real estate to get cash, which will send houses/land WAY DOWN in value (they are already at an all-time high), and thus, housing will crash (relatively speaking).  Stocks will crash, bonds will crash and interest rates will skyrocket too.
.

and most people would be happy other than the båñkêrs who the debts are owed to. Because it will erase debts and hurt the banks who the debts are owed to, I do not think hyperinflation will be allowed to happen.

Normal people won't have the money to pay off debts, they'll be paying $10 for a gallon of milk and $8 for a gallon of gas, and all other items (lumber, fast food, groceries, concrete...anything that is trucked across the country) will skyrocket in price because of the cost of gas.  Many truck companies will halt driving, because they can't make $ transporting stuff, so shortages will be everywhere, regionally.
.
Companies who rely on products from china or other parts of the US will feel the squeeze and will cut staffing.  People all across industries will lose their jobs.  They'll have to sell their houses (or be foreclosed on) at very low values.  More and more people will live off the govt.
.
Due to the economic chaos, local and state govts will increase property taxes and all other taxes to make ends meet.  More people will feel the squeeze.  Or...local/state govts will cut programs, police, etc and crime will skyrocket (both due to desperation and due to less police). 
.
Rich people will swoop in and buy up property/businesses at bargain values.  Just like during all recessions/depressions.  The Middle class will finally die and all that will be left is the rich/poor.
.
Sorry to paint a bad picture, but all this happened in Argentina a decade ago, and happened in Venezuela (the third richest country in North America) just 3 yrs ago.  It's economics, pure and simple.  The US will collapse when gas prices rise and when imports stop.  It's not if, but when.
