we learned our lessons from 2008 and 2020. my random thoughts

1) money has nowhere else go for now

2) great wealth transfer = really doesn't matter as long as the super rich can keep inflating their wealth faster than us peons. if you are above that curve just stay ahead of it at all costs.

3) prolonged pain can be extended indefinitely for most people by keeping them perpetual renters / extending loan terms.

4) all else fails print more money and i guess when it all does collapse doesn't matter, retreat to X country or bunker (lol)

> if you are above that curve

Is it possible to know if you're above 'that' curve? Does above the curve mean your assets are increasing in value faster than inflation?

I think to be above the curve requires being the first to receive the freshly printed money to buy more assets before they inflate further. You need to be first to benefit... So grift off the government contracts that lead/cause more printing.
