    I buy an index fund, I’m forcibly bought into scams. I stay in cash, and the government steals the value by printing more cash. Sometimes it feels like everything‘s a scam except possibly for hard assets.

      Its a small club and you ain’t in it.

      I often discuss that these aren’t scams. They aren’t rigged. This would denote something anti-lawful or downright deceitful. No. These are perfectly legal and transparent transfers of wealth. Doesn’t make it any less angering, but its important to understand how few economics systems in use in the world are designed to be equitable.
