But we did manage to make a few men extremely wealthy beyond all imagination for a short time. Isn't that something worth celebrating?

And remember, their wealth wasnโ€™t even real but rather was in extremely over-valued stock options which they used to get loans they didnโ€™t really ever pay back. Also all the libertarians supporting them were complaining about how getting away from the gold standard was evil because of printing too much money while these ultra-rich people could use that aforementioned loophole to magic billions into existence just by saying an existing algorithm was โ€œAIโ€ now.

We are so stupid.
