These colorful exposés by jaded ex-financial insiders are all the rage, and I'm not saying Wall Street rules/ethics aren't important to talk about, but it's easy to ignore more fundamental processes. The Fed, with the touch of a keyboard, writes money into existence out of thin air, purchasing securities with it. It amazes me that so few discuss the ethics of where the money comes from in the first place.

The big reason not to stay with D7: it's dying. Issue queue activity has dropped off a cliff in the last 6 months with D8 released.
