Comment on Wreck the economy because it only works for the billionaire class.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 1 year agoMost billionaires aren’t billionaires in cash. If the market crashes, so do they. Now they might be reduced to “only” a hundred million or so but that can be catastrophic when your personal finances depend on billions in stock backing up a series of long term rotating loans.
They wanted to use the market to exploit the people. But that makes them vulnerable in a way rich people didn’t used to be vulnerable.

Yeah, but that “catastrophe” you and I won’t see it. We would have dies already out of hunger or disease. You cannot survive only on hate itself.

Eh, when food gets scarce there’s a few ways things can go. Usually the people in charge try to stop those kind of extreme events by handing out food. It’s when there’s a dust bowl at the same time that things get nasty.

Yeah, go ahead and think you can live on handouts from the rich and powerful, whose economy you’re trying to wreck.
