Now wheeeeere have I seen this before.....? Hmmmmmmm...
Hey, I've seen this one!
What do you mean you've seen this? It's brand new.
Nah, it’s a repost from late 2007.
Sorry, I mean a repeat of late 2007, the fourth or fifth “once in a lifetime economic crisis” for millennials that will somehow magically end with billionaires owning an even larger percentage of the GDP.
“How could this possibly happen, again, again, again, again,” will cry the ~~economists~~ billionaire simps.
What's a repost?
Are you back from the future or something?
They're just pointing out that history is repeating itself because we learned nothing from 2008
My bad, I should have put a "/s" on all my comments in this thread.
Those lines are directly out of a movie. Except they say rerun instead of repost. It just seemed that the OP was driving one of these:
I'll take the woosh. We'll played.
If it makes you feel any better, I liked your joke and even read it in raccoon hat kid's voice.
You know what, that does make me feel better.
But I guess those jokes stunk like manure! I hate manure!
Isn't this just going to be "great recession 2 office building bugaloo?"
Part 1 was the great recession caused by sub prime loaning assholes and combined debt packages.
Similar story different players apparently...
Same reason why banks kept giving loans to Trump. He had so much debt that their best option for a long time was to just give him more money in the hopes he could use it to earn enough to repay all the loans. Sunk-cost fallacy at the major financial level.
"if you owe the bank $100 that's your problem, if you owe the bank $932,514,634 that's their problem."
What's that? Rich fuckers are worried about being less rich? However will I be able to sleep at night.
You will sleep after paying taxes for their bailouts.
They will never be less rich.
Can they dump mine please?
Nope. Bankruptcy only exists for people who will never need it.
