    I've seen it too. I wouldnt say crashing though. That's a bit extreme. I will say going down. Plus with inflation going up, even if they stay the same......they are defacto going down.

    I would say like 99% have no frigging clue!

    Edit: and as long as they have sportsball and social media, they could care less.

    Lol, exactly. Review previous posts. And what new policiy has been ushered in and implemented many times since then. Too big to fail and alot of bailouts.

    Don't tell me what to do. (walks away huffing like a locomotive) :D

    They'd much rather we fail than their banks.

    You know what the sad thing is.
    1: they could have handed out like $5 million to every person on earth for what we spent on. Bailouts. However, that would have ushered in massive inflation if everyone on earth was a Millionaire over night.
    2. Just let them collapse/fail and actually get back to good business....if there ever was such a thing. I'm very laissez-faire and I think that is the best way to go. We haven't had free enterprise/capitalism since way before anyone here was born.

    Agree, laissez-faire has by far lifted more people out of poverty than any economic system. This lazyarse take and not care is for the birds. I'm tired of being forced to support others against my will.

    As I've said before, it will take the people to force a return to commodity money, including the digital option. Nobody can downright refuse to pay taxes en masse without having the power of their property (money) back.
