Is there a visualization of this anywhere? Do you see this as how the money people have invested in index funds (bogleheads and whatnot) gets "harvested?"

Is this what the initial signs of hyperinflation look like? Are we at risk of seeing that? Paired with geopolitical movements to try and replace the dollar as reserve currency, that feels like it could reach a rather bad tipping point, espe

I want a game like Elite with the depth of MSFS. Aviation is decade upon decade of old systems built on the shoulders of the previous ones. Aviation is _hard_. Space travel should be similar, with the appropriate help of computers.

This is a false equivalence. The opinion of someone who does not believe in science is not magically equal to those of people who do and are well versed in it when it comes to debating scientific matters.
