Sorry, that was my bad joke.
When I was in college all of the foreign people would call it uni and university.
The rest of us called it college.

Yale University, Stanford University, etc.

A lot of American "colleges" are University, and have "University" in their long-title name; granted America seems to have a lot of "institutes" as well, but the fact of the matter is that America has plenty of Universities even if the average American refers to them as something else.

Inflation is the most retarded goddamn argument for that. Of you see inflation, don't ******* pay into it. Keep shopping competitively, and spite at the companies who you feel are charging too much. You may have to wait it out a bit, but god damnit I hate it when people talk about the economy as though they're just passively being subjected to it. Half of our economy is based on what you pay into it. Apple charges so much money because your stupid ass is willing to pay into it. When the Xbone was more money than it was worth, I didn't ******* buy one and then complain about it. I simply didn't ******* buy it.

That's not how inflation works at all. Inflation is when everyone has so more money so that money becomes less valuable. Inflation isn't something you can stop by continuing to shop either. Want an example of inflation? You'll be seeing one soon what with the raised minimum wage(assuming you live in America). Min wage got bumped up a few bucks. Companies have to raise prices to afford to pay the raised wages(and often let people go which leads to more jobless people, but that's a whole other story). All products are now raised to adapt to the increased income.

Look throughout history. You used be be able to buy simple **** like candy for pocket change. Now you need a few dollars to buy a small bag. You used to be able to buy a soda for pocket change, then turn the bottle in for about half the price you bought it. Now you need around $1(depending on tax and which store you buy it from) to buy a bottle and you only get a nickle for recycling it.

Inflation is very real and can't be solved by just continuing to shop. I really hope you're just confusing inflation for another word. If so, then no hard feelings. Mistakes happen.

I'm also talking about the other side of inflation, the one where businesses freak the hell out about people having more money. If everyone were to get $1,000,000 tomorrow, what real requirement would businesses have to increase their prices? What would they be reacting to in relation to their expenses and profits? Or would they just be raising their prices "because people have money now"? Where does the value of money come from but what value people place on it? It comes from when you look at a product and have to think to yourself "how much would I pay for this?" Produce is the price it is because people look at the price and say "I'll pay that" and buy it, which lets the store know they can get away with charging that price, but why do you think Walmart is so hilariously successful? It's because you can either get an apple for $1 at "Freu Freu fruit emporium" or go to Walmart and pay a nickle.

The sort of inflation you're talking about has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. The kind of inflation I'm talking about is the same sort of inflation which causes housing markets to fluctuate. A good housing market is one where people look at a house and are willing to pay you more than you originally bought the property. A bad housing market is one where people look at the house you paid $500,000 for and think " **** that!" and walk away. In fact, the housing market is about as close to a free market economy as you can get in this country because of that.

The thing about everyone getting that much money depends on how they got it. If they all got paid by the upper class rich people then things would balance out. If that money was printed new, then that causes inflation. If everyone magically gained $1,000,000 then the value of a dollar would be less than a penny. That's what inflation is. The more you have of something means it is less valuable. Think about it like this, you have this sweet one of a kind collectors edition of <insert favorite book/game/movie>. That thing is now very valuable. A few weeks later and more of them are made and are alike in every single way. It's not worth so much anymore.

That type of inflation is not relevant to anything here(no I'm not talking about the house example). This is a simple money inflation. There is now so much money that the $1 bill is now worth much less. Stores raise prices. It doesn't matter if it's out of necessity or greed. Prices will rise. Walmart isn't an "everything" store. It has a lot, but not everything. When every store raises it's prices to accommodate inflation, Walmart will too. Even if Walmart has cheaper prices, it still adapts to inflation.

On a side note, the economy would likely collapse if everyone just got a million dollars. Who would work anymore? What incentive would there be? That's a whole other issue though.

I know what inflation is, but I'm trying to get you to understand WHERE IT COMES FROM. It's one thing to know the signs and symptoms of an eating disorder, but an entirely different beast to know where they originate. I know "printing more money = inflation", but do you know why? If the only answer you can think of is "it just is" then you need to stop pretending like you know what you're talking about. If your answer is "its the value people place on it" then its precisely as I said. Value is subjective. If it's capable of changing in one direction its capable of going in the other. You need to ask yourself where the value comes from. It isn't just in how much money is out there, but where it flows. Everyone can have a million dollars tomorrow, but hypothesize on what would happen if everyone were to take that money and shove it somewhere to be forgotten. Would there still be inflation? Why? Where would it come from beyond this equation everyone knows on "printing money = inflation"? Wheres the preceeding line of it?

Inflation, debt, or tax. No matter which you dig your own grave.

Fun fact about just giving people money. Since Lyndon B. Johnson's declaration of war on poverty the US has spent over $22 trillion trying to fight it, over $9 trillion of that being welfare alone. And the results? Poverty has flat lined, and has even been slightly on the rise despite the fact that before all this, poverty was on a rapid decline.

Imagine if that $22 trillion had gone into businesses and investment instead. That is more money than even the National Debt. The US would be almost unrecognizable. Would there even be unemployment? Or would employment even mater with the level of automation attainable with those kinds of resources in the hands of innovators? Assuming that taxpayers wouldn't vote for more military or something else instead.
