    Me? I invested in a birth center.

This is where the smart money is anyway. Not a birth center, per se, but in building a business. Passive income is great if you can get it, but going out and creating something from nothing is the real way to build capital (the thing capitalism is supposed to be built on). Small businesses create ALL the jobs in the last several decades, and their the only places left who think of people as people and not as employee ID numbers. Passive income is a great supplement if you can get it, but we should never forget what the engine of the economy is. Fuck the Fed right now. That emperor lost his clothes long ago.
