The lust for gold, mania for share price gains, thrill of leverage and profit on speculative accelerating tulips ... by They the People and Them the Governments lead to financial implosion and very real 3D TeoTwawki such as the $1 trillion Zimbabwean bank notes and production collapses as redistribution from the producers to the others is tried, and failed. Greed is the root of all evil. Not money. Money is just the measuring stick of the Dow, currently at world record all time highs, with the measurement showing irrational exuberance as propounded by our great and venerable icon Uncle Al KBE. While Donald might MAGA, I suspect that money addicts will be as intractable as opium appreciators. So he will not be able to wean everyone off their fix. He's partial to a hefty dose himself. They will need more and more to get the effect they want. The price will rise. One day, the dream will meet reality. Outcome untoward. Shock! Disbelief!! Fear!!! They will have nothing to fear but fear itself. Of which there will be plenty. People have reached the human Reynolds number at which smooth, fast, laminar flow suddenly flips to turbulent, chaotic and resistant . en.wikipedia.org You might guess I once upon a time had a bit to do with fluid flow. Financial relativity theory applies too. Mqurice
