Why can't they raise interest rates? Higher cost for debt but more beneficial for storing money in savings, right?
I'm guessing that the modern economy needs cheap money to function. Raise the rates, money becomes "expensive" and therefore hard to get. Companies will start gutting all the wasteful employees in the process, and you'll end up with the diversity squad rioting in the streets as everything slowly dominoes out.
