Is the money printing catching up to us?

I feel like there has been a huge misallocation of the nation's resources towards top of the pyramid endouvers like gig apps, banks, "tech", estate etc rather than base infrastructure and manufacturing/agriculture. All due to the easy money for these sexy sectors. For a long time.

Any reason the government allocated it to those endeavors?

Dunno. Buying houseloan bounds prints money for real estate which central banks do. I got no explaination for the others other than a hunch that money ends up there.

Corruption is the obvious reason. Moneyed interests buying politicians to work in favor of the rich.

Did you want a less boring, more easy to fix reason?
