The worst take I've ever heard about inflation

It's that the 1% will get wealthier and the 99% poorer. This is the dumbest take I've ever heard in my entire life. <br><br>The wealthy will get richer, but their wealth is not growing faster than the average person's. In reality, the wealth of the top 1% is growing at a slower rate than the bottom 50%. <br><br>I'm sure it sucks to be in the top 1%, but that doesn't mean you have less. It just means you have fewer people beneath you. If you had $100 million and the value of your money decreased by half, you still had $100 million. You just had half as many people beneath you. It still doesn't mean you're poor.
