The big problem with debt, I repeat, is that eventually it must be paid. In the current situation it might be paid for by a generation not born yet, who will never see one speck of whatever benefit was purchased. I regard that as a rather rotten trick.
Unfortunately there is more to it than that, at least in this case. While some folks present arguments that increasing the amount of money WILL NOT lead to inflation, it seems that for all known financial history, it HAS caused inflation. Possibly it is not instant inflation, but the slower kind, more difficult to attach to a cause.
And ultimately we are in some degree of a depression because all of the symptoms of depression are showing: Far more unemployment and folks being more concerned about saving money so that they can buy food, and a general slowing down of purchases of fun stuff.
And that light at the end of the tunnel??? My take is that it actually is a fast-freight, headed our way.
Certainly C.D. asks a valid question. Classroom education is valuable and while a lot of learning can be had online, or amazingly enough, through books, there is still a benefit to in person discussion. So it is not the study aspect but the interaction aspect that will probably return.
But overall, until a way is found to" beat the bug", the damage will persist. I choose "damage" rather than "change" because I do not believe that the change is mostly for the better. At best, only half of all changes are improvements. That is how I see change.

I do not see any long-term benefit to the most of humanity from the existance of competing currency systems. I do see some "interesting times" in store.
He increase in metals is caused by a lack of confidence in everything else. It is indeed a safe haven and so those who can not afford to lose are getting in. But really, metals are an indicator not the driver force.
Considering how much of the market is driven by emotions, especially fear and panic, and knowing that these are indeed "unprecidented" times since we have not suffered such a plague for a hundred years. And even back then the shutdown mentality was not running the show.
Presently we have a serious conflict, those wanting to open things up because that are losing profit and those wanting to close everything down because we are losing lives.And making matters worse, the Fed has been making poor choices for much of that hundred year time, with some things getting progressively worse.
