Yeah, there's almost never a "fall in prices". That's what people want, but never what actually happens, even in the "good times". When it does, it's practically 100% of the time during a recession. As others said, a "fall in inflation" only means a slowdown in the increase.

Falling prices is deflation which tends to be even worse then significant inflation. What you want is a slowdown in the increase so paychecks catch up and make things more affordable

"Falling prices" used to be called "competitive pricing". Funny how things change.

Which means raises in wages might actually make things more stable and help people which is a good thing. There seems to have been some effort into raising wages in Europe lately
