        That is because you are conflating the current climate, with the future climate. Trust that everything will continue to get worse for everyone and we are accelerating the decline. There is a limit to what people will take, to say otherwise is to ignore all of human history.

          I’m 43. I grew up poor in the south. I’ve been watching this happen my entire life. Those of you that think this can somehow be fixed, you’re where I was 20 years ago. Talks of change and revolution and power in the hands of the people has been around for about as long as “we the people” have. We’re to comfortable, by design, in our misery and outrage. We will not give up our meager comforts to show the people in power we’re tired of it. The revolutionist mindset is fostered by the ruling class, knowing full well we’re all too complacent, afraid and just comfortable with it all to challenge their rule.

      Hoarding a bunch of US dollars while giving everyone every incentive to disconnect from the US economy.

      It’s like they think the economic world order is a law of nature.

      We could all stop using money today, and decide on a whole different system, and they’d have nothing again but our hatred.

      Keep pushing, morons.

        You’re absolutely right. They really don’t understand that once they have all the money, people just switch to something else and everything they hoarded becomes worthless.

        That’s what I’ve been saying, just don’t understand their end-game here, their wealth comes from the stock market and strength of the dollar, which both depend on US stability, but they’re just absolutely nuking that. Do they still think they’ll be fine when society at large crumbles around them? Sure, they can afford bunkers and shit, so they’ll get by for a while longer (maybe) than everyone else, but then what? I just don’t get it, they seriously seem to believe they can take a sledgehammer to the government of one of the largest economies in the world, and…profit??? Idiots, hope they burn.
