  • it’s not really the economy though, stock/futures market is a casino working as intended. it’s designed explicitely to cause and crash bubbles…there are key rule differences between US and most other world’s markets casino’s (chief among them, naked shorting, which most the rest of the world just banned outright or very heavily restricted after 2000-08, the US didnt) that when viewed from a high level can be only for 1 reason…

    to inflate prices and increase volatility/liquidity, ie. make it “exciting” so more people trade.

    essentially, inflate the price of everything and hand out margin like candy…then when things are nice and inflated slam the lines down. anyone overextending themselves because they miscalculated their support?..forcibly liquidated if they don’t have the cash on-hand to cover their nargin calls.

    see, there’s some nerd shit called the black scholes equation which is mathimatical proof for something many of us already understand…whoever has the most $ at play controls the price action entirely (unless/until fundementals reassert themselves, or someone with a lower cost-basis joins the table).

    now consider what that means when <1% of the population has over 90% of the wealth…
