It's not as simple, there are winners and losers. A drop of your local
currency is good for companies who sell abroad, but bad for conumsers.

Its about time a brake was put on consumer society. People by way too
much crap they don't need, most of which eventually ends up in
landfill.

Poverty is fine because it reduces landfills? That's one of the dafter
things one could say.

Poverty? There isn't much real poverty in the UK and thats unlikely to
change anytime soon barring some major natural disaster. Not having quite
enough cash to be able to upgrade to the latest iToy or buy some overpriced
cloth in Next isn't what I'd call poverty.
