How to use Inertia in a sentence?
The transition away from being a rentier state is not a comfortable one, they’re trying.

The machine has had a pernicious effect upon virtue, pity, and love, and young men used to machines which induce inertia, and fear, are near impotent.
Sir Winston Churchill, March 1936, demanding British re-armament:
Virtuous motives, trammeled by inertia and timidity, are no match for armed and resolute wickedness. A sincere love of peace is no excuse for muddling hundreds of millions of humble folk into total war. The cheers of the weak, well-meaning assemblies soon cease to count. Doom marches on.
All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right-about-face which turns us from failure towards success.
Inertia is a big factor, sometimes the gift card is for a store that you don’t particularly like or it’s not convenient to go there.
