The part I don’t understand is where do they think there wealth comes from? It comes from the middle class buying things. That always has been and always will be the entire engine behind the economy. Without that, the entire system breaks down. With 50% unemployment, it’s gonna look more like MadMax or The Walking Dead. I don’t care how big these mother fuckers build their bunkers, they will only last so long. We out number them a million to 1.

    It magically appears out of the aether that is the stock market. They can make it appear faster if they squeeze those beneath them. Lower wages, lower retirement funding, unbundling, rent extraction, squatting, more expensive benefits, etc.

    They don’t actually have to do the work of creating anything new. Just find ways to offer as little as possible and take as much as they can.
