Not implying anything regarding OPs comment other than perspectives is greatly influenced by where you come from.

HN discussionFor those looking for some relatively light financial reading related to the question of "how does one escape this?": Morgan Housel (a writer at the collab fund) has written about how cycles of boom and bust are inherent to markets. https://collabfund.com/uploads/Collaborative%20Fund%20--%20T... The first section "1: The Inevitability of Insanity Among Sane People" is probably the most relevant, and a more summarize…

HN discussionIt should. https://collabfund.com/blog/the-fed-isnt-printing-as-much-mo... Also money printing isn't necessarily inflationary if the money stays as bank reserves. Unless... The Fed buys treasuries and the government dumps the money on the economy.

HN discussionI know Morgan Housel has written about this a decent amount, here's one article that jumped to mind: https://collabfund.com/blog/compounding-optimism/ "Technological progress is easy to underestimate because it’s so counterintuitive to see how, for example, the philosophies of a guy who invented Polaroid film would go on to inspire the iPhone. Or how an 18th-century physicist would write a notebook that would set th…

HN discussionThe sibling comment's linked article answers this. "If you put money in a checking account, regulators make banks set aside a cushion as reserves in case they get into trouble. But if you put money into a savings account, regulators tell banks they don’t have to reserve anything. The catch is that it’s only considered a savings account if the consumer is allowed to make no more than six withdrawals per month. It’s w…

HN discussionhttps://collabfund.com/blog/the-fed-isnt-printing-as-much-mo... Yep it was an accounting change. Though the additional wave of stimmy checks plus continued buying of MBS during 2021 was definitely not good for inflation.

HN discussionIt relates to how we learn. We have at least two modes of learning, experience [1] and, someone please suggest a better word, indoctrination.
