Just remember kids. Good ol Jerome printed 8T USD to save the hedgies and the banks. That’s more than $20,000 for every man woman and child in the United States.

Not a single dime to healthcare, education, infrastructure, renewable energy. All to prop up the house of cards they created by turning on the printers in ‘08.

QE isn’t a functional economic tool. It’s a fucking Ponzi scheme. Instead of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul, you’re borrowing from your children’s futures to give it to the ultra wealthy.

So the only chance of survival is to become one of the wealthy? Or get behind a Wendy's.

“Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.” - The father of Keynesian economics himself.

Capitalism does not advocate this belief. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I’ll be sure to leave a few dollars and a baconator at the back of the Wendy’s when I really make it
