You just described a ponzi scheme, which is exactly what the current state of the stock market represents. It's Kronos syndrome boomers hyperinflating everything forever where the old eat the young and sell everyone's futures out for green numbers to keep going up. Zoom into the S&P from 1960s to the late 80s, the most prosperous time in human history - notice how the number went sideways and was trapped in this range for decades? Yes, I know, pointing this out is very anti semitic and anti MAGA.

Seeing people who dont even own bags cheering le number going upper, when their lives just get more expensive by every metric is some of the craziest behaviour I've ever witnessed.
