Excess liquidity gets eventually absorbed in the form of broad inflation. I.e. the money loses the excess value.

Eventually, meaning decades, as long as a near equilibrium is eventually reached, wages will rise and wealth ceases to be self-reinforcing at a grand level (back to a few percent). There hasn't been equilibrium for at least a decade. The long tail (the vast majority of people) will continue to suffer for decades and wealth will continue to be disgustingly easy to grow (with a few hundred thousand) in relation to the price increases most people encounter day-to-day. Ofc, maybe I'm just biased.
