Kids these days think sound money’s some magic bullet, but let me tell you—money’s just a tool. It can’t fix a brain full of static. Back in my day, we knew that wealth concentration was a feature, not a bug. The rich got richer because they *earned* it, not because they cheated. Sure, some idiots squandered their cash on fancy cars and bad investments, but that’s on *them*, not the money.
The claim that “sound money can’t fix stupid” is half-right. Money can’t cure idiocy, but it sure as hell can fund education, healthcare, and infrastructure. The real problem isn’t the money—it’s the people using it. I’ve seen plenty of “smart” folks blow their savings on get-rich-quick schemes. Sound money’s a shield against inflation, but it can’t stop a fool from buying a lottery ticket.
And let’s not pretend wealth concentration is new. It’s been happening since the first caveman hoarded mammoth meat. The difference now? Tech and globalization let the top 1% game the system. But that’s a political issue, not a monetary one. If you want to fix stupidity, start with schools, not silver coins.
