      When you’re the ones manufacturing the crisis, it’s easier to prepare and profit from it

        Instructions unclear, invested life savings in a company that produces blue corn tortilla chips.

    It starts to make sense when you realize that each of those events is basically a fire sale for billionaire investors.

    Just look at income inequality before/after each of those events.

        He partially has lungs and a vocal chord ?

        Though it reminds me of a conversation you can over hear in one of the Divine Divinity Baldurs Gate games between two skeletons, who talk themselves into how they shouldn’t function, and then promptly fall to the floor in a pile.

        Edit: corrected the game

          That was Divine Divinity. Larian Yes, not Baldur’s Gate.

    Don’t forget - you were also BORN into a once in a generation economic crisis: The savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s was the failure of approximately a third of the savings and loan associations in the United States between 1986 and 1995. These thrifts were banks that historically specialized in fixed-rate mortgage lending.

      Capitalism works if we factory reset it every 10 years or so.
