Money printing is like taking a piece of cheese and cutting it into smaller pieces. The pieces get smaller, but the total amount of cheese remains the same. This does not create new wealth, it simply redistributes existing wealth.

That's nto accurate. That in the bitconi way to split to more units.
Money prniting is like secretly introducing new cheese wheel to the economy by snapping your fingers. The cheesemakers reward themselves with freshly made piece, and leave the moldy one to trickle down the chain.
We have a number that describes this pretty good, and it' 6,5.
As in 6,5% less value per year.
It reflects the approximate average annual expansion of the supply of USD and EUR, which is about 7%.
For other currencies these numbers are higher.
Now, try to beat 6,5% per year by investing in stocks. Remember to subtract capital gains tax and all of the other costs you have when you invest. Including the value of your time working with the investments.
It's nearly impossible for ordinary people.
Nothing beats the money printer.
