Excellent question. &quot;Because of the secret float of the fed or something. You cannot trust those guys.&quot; That&#x27;s always the answer.<p>There are non-crazy things to worry about the future - where will jobs come from for average people after we increasingly automate? Not everyone can be a programmer, and we don&#x27;t need 95% of the population to do that. You can say medical care of palliative care or something. I don&#x27;t know where the jobs are coming from.<p>And people that work in the financial industry, trading gold or CDOs, you aren&#x27;t actually doing anything that helps society. If we stopped have people making money by trading on gold, would it matter to the world? No. Create something useful, that helps people, a new kind of drug. Teach kids. Don&#x27;t sell real estate or work on faster stock trading algorithms. Grumpy me, my programming is the good kind, not the useless kind :-)
