Crashing the stock market may be the plan here. Follow me on this ...
Crashing the market and removing 20 to 30 percent of value.
Then at the low point invest heavily into the DOW.
Now support the market and get it back to previous levels.
Fucking rich fucks just made 30% in 1 to 2 years on that investment.
Hey now you're forgetting that they're also going short on everything and making money on the fucking way down too!
Crashing the economy is the point, isn't it. Every crash the richest few scoop up the assets and the peasants (most of Americans) settle for working for whatever scraps they can manage.
What is the economy and the stock market except a perpetual bubble built on debt, as we lower rates and do QE to encourage people to borrow, in order to derive consumption via the wealth effect created by the cantillon effect?
The last crisis the housing bubble was created because housing was useful as a liquidity sponge, as we can gatekeep an inelastic good behind a wall of debt to create a wealth effect so people consumed more.
This all seems to me by design, inherent in the system, which project 2025 seemed to be fighting against. For instance they want a cap on money creation of something like 3%, which means a lot smaller bubble. Maybe they do want less froth before they flip that switch, assuming it is their plan.
I'd replace collecting food stamps for collecting heads.
I'm so glad that I got a surprise letter in January of 2024 stating that the Biden SAVE program had forgiven my entire $320,000 worth of student loans. I had originally borrowed $150k.
Wait, was that all fucking interest???
Also for 150k you better be a fucking doctor, mate.
This isn't uncommon, there are deferral programs for student loans but these typically come with compounding interest (basically, your payments are covered each month by an additional loan which gets added to the principle).
this story is actually insane.
