@blightersort "speaking as an actuary i simply love the "you're on a 1-100 flood plain" and her asking "what year are we on" just fantastic. you understand intellectually that basically no one can think statistically but seeing it in action like this is chef's kiss"

"@Whatdidyousay82 @politicalmath 1) do they limit the options you have to buy yes. 2) the entire XXX program's total spending is a rounding error to social security. there is no way for the government to direct trillions of dollars into markets and not have it fundamentally change markets"

"that would be a problem too but also Chile is like X% the economic size of the US their government expenditures are likely an even smaller fraction. if the US government started moving trillions of dollars a year into markets that would inevitably change market dynamics. Chile can do it without that effect because they are smaller"

"i don't recall the particulars but a few points: 1) there is no way you could let every individual make whatever choices they want or you'd risk some frittering it away and then you are back to having to give them money 2) so you'd have to at least limit the choices but right there the government is weighing in with trillions of dollars a year just around those limitations. 3) even if those limits were broad (a small selection of total market funds) the amounts here are so large that they would have secondary effects no matter what. there is already a school of thought that the extreme"
