No, that's not how it works. Inflation is around 4-5%, which halves your money in 15-20 years. And when you supply a significant number of stores with practically free food, this inflation skyrockets. These "800 years" will end soon after Mamdani's term ends, if not before.
And no, you can't simply buy real food with this money; the problem isn't the money itself, but the distortion of market incentives.
