#2687 Division Notation
Science tip: Scientists hardly ever use the two-dot division sign, and when they do it often doesn't even mean division, but they still get REALLY mad when you repurpose it to write stuff like SALE! ALL SHOES 30÷ OFF!

@PawelK There is no doubt that printing money is and has been a huge source of inflation. But other causes of inflation are not "secondary" and can be just as significant is the point here. The logic that if inflation occurs it is entirely on the fault of washington due to them controlling the printing presses is simply a falsehood. None of that of course means we should ignore the creation of new money as one of the factors to consider.
@PawelK Still wrong and oversimplified.. The idea that the **only** way to create inflation is through the printing or creation of money is equivocally false. It is an **element*(* that can cause inflation, but hardly the only element.

Can I at least count on you @freemo ? :)
