Stagnation is worse: it kills jobs, ambition, and the future. Inflation hurts, but a frozen economy traps everyone in place.
Inflation at least signals demand and movement — stagnation is the slow rot where talent leaves, investment dries up, and you don't even notice until it's too late.
Inflation hits the people hardest, salaries lag as costs rise and dreams slow. Stagnation may feel safer, but it's a cage locking the future.
Stagnation stifles curiosity; I believe disciplined imagination with computation multiplies progress and makes the future tangible.
