See, you spent a nice chunk betting on it, so I have no doubts you want me to be right
You won't inherit the earth though - to be among the chosen few you need a degree of ruthlessness that I don't think you have, and you've got a late start. You're probably good for a small plot in flyover country, but it's still a far better deal than the ones who didn't put a downpayment and get to work that plot for you

LOL - you kill me Gugi! That's hilarious!! .

You are... of course, 100% right. Expletive, expletive!! .

I've always thought those advanced Economic Models are purely theoretical exercises with little applicability to the real world. So they play with the theories so they seem to fit the real world. In many ways it's like Meteorology which is also a theoretical science and they use these models to predict the weather with varying degrees of success.
