It's like when you sell all of your crap in an RPG but then find out no one will sell you back the Really Cool Thing you whoops-dumped in the sale. It's an eff-up, but when you got cheat codes, it really doesn't matter.
Now, if someone takes your cheat codes away . .
Offtopic, but this magical money-generation capability is commonly perceived as a standin for any value-generation capability, from aerodynamics to materials science. Go wander the C-Suite of a major aerospace firm and count the engineering degrees, then go back and count the MBAs. It's every bit as absurd as late-stage Soviet Russia injecting "Socialism" into fields like fluid dynamics.
If this disagrees with anyone's ideology, I preemptively apologize. Go ahead and throw stuff at the monitor.
So mistake made, lesson learned. In a world where money is expensive (fed rate sets the lowerbound), where are the opportunities?
Here's a trick, though: if you don't believe in the future, how do you cash out of the present, or out of anything? Now we move into the shadow realm of metaphor and ideology. This has been a pretty big deal since at least 1972, and more urgently since 2008, when all kinds of super-weird-ass money tricks were spawned.
