  • One thing I don’t understand about inflation is why printing money increases it but borrowing money doesn’t.

    Either way you all of a sudden have $200 million dollars to spend, why does inflation care if that came from another country? The money is still the same, being spent the same, etc.

    Eventually it needs to be paid back but that’s not for a very long time so wouldn’t inflation happen between now and then anyways?

    Diets are highly species specific, but mosquitos are generally less than 3% of the diet for most birds and bats. Too small, don’t fly around at the correct time of day/night, and pretty agile, so they aren’t supper important for most birds and bats.

    Also, usually they hatch in the billions all at once and die within a few weeks so there’s a very limited amount of time that they even can be preyed on as food. Their strategy (many of them, not all species) is to overwhelm any predators with numbers.
