INFLATION RATES ARE IMPORTANT ON ZERO SUM PLANETS

SO THERE WAS ONLY 2.9% INFLATION LAST MONTH ?...THERE IS APPROXIMATELY HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS OF CURRENCY AND STOCKS AND BONDS AND TRILLIONS MORE OF MANUFACTURED ITEMS PRODUCED ON A YEARLY BASIS ETC....SO 2.9% INFLATION DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUCH....BUT TELL THAT TO A SQUREL WHO'S LOOKING FOR A TREE FOR REFUGE AND CAN'T FIND ONE IN THE NATURAL STATES
