    “Eat the rich” is honestly where we’re headed. And I don’t mean literally eat I mean TAKE THEIR WEALTH.

    Until billionaires are made illegal, and “real estate investment” (i.e. predatory price gouging on homes/apartments) is made illegal, everything is gonna continue getting more fucked. It’s too little too late though, greed has destroyed our planet. We’ve got front row seats to the downturn of human civilization.

    I’m stocking up on canned food, and I’ve never been the doomsday prepper type. Honestly I think we’re about to enter a protracted global depression that makes ‘08 look like a speedbump.

      The immigrant crisis around the globe is also at a tipping point. Climate change and corporate greed have fucked many places in the world out of habitability.

      Immigrants aren’t going to stop coming because the alternative is a slow and miserable death or the threat of cartel governments. Now western countries don’t want to take care of them and don’t want to deal with them at all, because immigrants demand resources and we need all that money to hide in congress’ ratholes.

      Well if we hadn’t fucking destroyed the planet in the blink of an eye maybe they wouldn’t all need to come to europe. If we hadn’t waged this stupid fucking war on drugs then maybe south/central americans wouldn’t need to flee cartel zones for fear of their entire village being beheaded and dumped in a pit.

      America and Europe are only beginning to reap what we’ve sown over the last 50 years and we already want to throw in the towel.

      Shit is going to get far worse, everywhere, imminently.

      '08 never actually ran its course. They kicked the can in the hopes they would be able to not have it actually bear its foul fruit.

      The derivates market is overleveraged, some entities over 30X. They are holding the hot potato and hoping it will cool off as they hold a blowtorch to it, as a manner of business.
