"Wealth" as described in terms of US dollars is just an imaginary accounting measure. And it hasn't really "meant" anything since the death of Bretton-Woods and the removal of the gold standard.
That wealth the richest hold is assets. Physical things. Control of physical things. Control of entire populations and their ability to survive.
The fed could change the accounting to Bitcoin tomorrow and would not change the fact that those top 10 richest men control a vast majority of our nation. But that's not enough, no, they want to control all of it.
Not on the long run, and not by the rules they're playing by now.
Top 10 richest men in America doubled their total wealth during the COVID downturn. From 750bn to 1.5tn. DOUBLED IN TWO YEARS.
Market collapses allow those with the most current assets buy up everyone else's assets at fire sale prices, and raid the government coffers for "bail out" money. They want that scenario to repeat, only now with a much, much deeper, country-wide drop than the temporary Covid bump.
Should have thought about that first you racist troglodyte lmao
Monday market open is going to be a bloodbath. I won't even dare to open my 401k account summary for the next 4 years...
Thank you Canada. We deserve it.
yar har fiddle de dee, being a pirate is alright to be, do what you want because a pirate is free...
So Russia can rig them and manipulate them?
So you got downvoted for a bunch of really shitty conservative political takes on the Canadian instance, and you're going to call it "censorship"?
Grow up and take some time for introspection.
That way the rich capitalists can buy up EVRRYTHING at fire sale prices!
A. Enact sales tax on poor people so that they can fund further corporate tax cuts
B. Ruin relationships with the closest American allies as that is a net benefit for geopolitical rivals like Russia, who Trump is demonstrably in bed with
C. Market value collapse let's all the rich cronies that have crawled up Trump's asshole buy out what's left of America's assets at fire sale prices. 10 richest men doubled their wealth during covid. They want that to happen again.
My senators are solid progressive democrats so I dont need to message them, and my House representative already bent over with his asshole pre-lubed for Trump on January 6th and ignores all mails I send to him. Damn I wish I had a voice. Oregon moment.
