With literally no communication, that student has bigger things to worry about than grades, like why are Mommy and Daddy shutting me out?

If teachers refers to our current style of teaching in public education, then maybe.
Japan is such an anomaly. They are certain ways that don’t exist anywhere else, that would be impossible anywhere else. If Japan didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have believed it could.
Also they’ve been paying for stuff with their phones for years and years—on exactly what basis are they a cash society (though there’s nothing wrong with that)?
Late to reply, but generally Lemmy users are advanced/veteran Reddit users, and advanced Reddit users more or less share a pool of common knowledge based on topics that often come up or were significant, etc. Aspartame is up there with things like fluoride in the water supply in terms of notoriety. Not saying people agree one way or the other, but it should at least be well known that it’s controversial.
Even if the value of money goes up, it’s by a paltry 1-2% and it still wouldn’t seem to make sense to hoard rather than invest, unless I’m missing something. In what scenario would any rich person just sit on their money? Likewise, the impact of 2% deflation on a bank loan is well within the variance in rates we see today, and I imagine in such an economy the rates would be adjusted somewhat to compensate.
Simply put, the difference between an inflating vs deflating currency doesn’t seem enough to drastically alter people’s behavior. In the short to medium term it seems almost a non-issue, at least for regular people, and in the long term people won’t get fucked out of their life savings. I imagine the vast majority of the population doesn’t invest their money. Which policy would they prefer?

I wasn’t trying to be serious, if that wasn’t clear.
