    So…

    I’m supposed to save money–that I can’t save because rents are through the fucking roof–in an account that will probably lose money thanks to inflation.

    Yeah, just say it: “We’re avoiding dealing with the problem but want to a) look like we’re doing something, and b) put the blame on the people trying to save for a home, instead of the investor class’ rampant speculation”.
