inflation money

There's no such thing as inflation money, shut up. The money just disappear

If someone is paying an “inflated” rate, they are paying more. So someone is collecting additional inflation money, by very definition of the term

They just burn the added rate, please stop asking questions

Money disappearing would do the opposite Id imagine.
