Alternatively: the bubble is inflated with wealthy oil sheiks’ money, and transferred to upper middle class workers.

US pension funds together are worth $22 trillion. This is 61% of global pension funds and much much larger than the Saudi funds. They should invest a small part into Vision Funds and other VCs!
