Seriously guys, we have *got* to start regulating Wall Street and investments more. And do something about wealth inequality. There is way, way too much money at the top and they're throwing it around recklessly. The next crash is going to make 2008 look like the.com boom.
Money being "thrown around recklessly" is the mechanism by which it leaves scrooge mcduck's pile of gold and enters the pockets of normal people.
Occasionally, it manages to find something interesting and generates real wealth and improves people's lives. A crap ton of money thrown around by Elon Musk landed on a reusable launch vehicle and lowered the cost of space launches by something like 30%. And a whole host of EV fanbois around here will have nice things to say about Tesla. For one example.
"Scrooge McDuck" doesn't throw it around recklessly. He taps the whims of others who "throw it around recklessly". Those who profit most from gold rushes are those who sell shovels and pans to the miners in the legitimate parts of the market, and those who simply defraud foolish miners. Electric companies and solar cell manufaturers and video card vendors are doing well out of it. Fraudsters setting up fraudulent echanges, or stealing from purely secured exchanges, are doing veyr well indeed.
You did notice that he lets it hit his _own_ head, in an enclosed space where none will be lost? I see your point. Do you see mine that he keeps it intact?
Nondeterminism means never having to say you are wrong.
