Reply to comment by MasterFubar in [OC] Inflation heatmap for 44 European, other DM and EM countries by adebar

Doctors used to use electroshock to treat schizophrenia.

Dentists used to use arsenic to treat tooth pain.

I guess we better just ignore the composite opinions of every group of professions in today's world /s.

We understand things better after failures. The fed is 5 times older now than it was during the depression. Everyone learns from their mistakes. 1913 was still very early compared to today's largely digital and very accessible stock market.

And economists still use inflation to treat economic recession.

If the professionals use their expertise to create better and better products, then we should listen to them. However, if almost a hundred years after the creation of the Fed we are still facing major economic crises, then it's pretty much obvious to everyone that those guys are still in the arsenic and electroshock state of ignorance.

They do not understand things better if they commit the same mistakes eighty years later.
