      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.

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.
