On the Stellar laboratory / transaction builder, what is the purpose of the inflation operation?

https://www.stellar.org/laboratory/#?network=public

The Stellar distributed network has a built-in, fixed, nominal inflation mechanism. New lumens are added to the network at the rate of 1% each year. Each week, the protocol distributes these lumens to any account that gets over .05% of the "votes" from other accounts in the network.

The inflation operation lets you "vote."

More info:

Are the 0.05% votes based on all the lumens in existence (around 100 billions) ?

They're based on all lumens in existence, including the lumens already generated from previous inflation rounds (compound, not simple)

Perfect. Thanks
