.. just like the big banks and the rich did during the great depression such as buying up foreclosed
real estate.

(23,685 posts)But this is an effort to remake the country so working people will accept much much less for their labor. And take them serious when they say, "no one should retire". That's a core pillar of their plans, people are only useful if they're able to work to make the billionaires richer, people should only stop working when they die.

(605 posts)Crater the economy and everything is wiped out but the 1%.
That ultra-elite 1% is then able to buy at fire-sale prices what everyone else just lost.
When the markets eventually right themselves--a decade or so later--the robber-baron 1% wind up owning even MORE of the wealth.
Honest-to-f--king-god, we are going to wind up in a situation where one guy owns 99% of the planet's wealth and the remaining 1% is
divied up amongst the starving, howling masses.
IF we let this madness of crony capitalism continue on its gangsterish course...
REVOLUTION IS HERE!

(1,080 posts)Exactly right. Its been the plan all along. Just like the Russian oligarchs cashed in on the collapse of the Soviet Union.
