No, they’d much rather send you to die and have much more support in doing so now than 18 months ago

if only there was some way to eminent domain a small fraction of cartoonishly large liquid assets on a regular basis for public use, like once a year before April 15.

What would you say if I told you there was a way to take it all at once and you wouldn’t even have to wait until a certain date?

Capitalism is a fucking sickness. The compulsion to hoard wealth and squeeze every cent out of us until we’re dead/unable to work is such an obvious contradiction, yet they specifically choose not to create sustainable profit methods.

Everyone is also anticipating a crash. No sense in investing when everything is about to get cheaper. Now is the time to pull out of the market and stockpile cash so that when everything dips, you buy it at a discount. Then you just ride the inevitable government-backed recovery and make more money.

The market is twice overdue for a typical 5% correction. I forget the exact cycle, but ever so often the market dips 5% and has done so consistently since the 20s. It hasn’t done that in at least twice the average period in which it’s supposed to happen. Then there’s the fallout from covid we still haven’t really dealt with because the Fed has been doing all sorts of communions with Moloch to keep it going. So there’s an even larger correction coming at some point, it’s inevitable.

But you’re also right in that there’s all this money because there’s no where for it go that returns mad profits.

7 year “business cycle” is what you’re referring to iirc.
