covid was the largest money printing and wealth transfer event in history. When rich people get money they buy assets. We have had extreme asset inflation since then. Metals, equities, real estate etc. Watch Gary's Economics on youtube.

We get out of it by building more, read Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson.
