Ice Cube speaking more truth than most economists

As a history and economics student I’m gonna have to hard disagree with Cube here. When the Germans were forced to pay reparations they could not afford, they began printing far more currency than usual. This caused hyperinflation, destroying their currency, and most of their economy. This economic turmoil was abused by Adolf Hitler to seize power as he promised to fix the economy and right the embarrassment the Treaty of Versailles had caused. This is a super simplified version of events. Printing money like this... is pretty much always a bad move, although I’m willing to give Powell some slack as we are in the midst of a global pandemic. Either way, this is an extremely complicated issue.
