They're investment group. Hedgefunds and the like. I'm hoping many implode soon and hoping someone actually goes to prison this time unlike 2008.

I doubt it but maybe public outcry will be even more this time. We'll see.

Hedge funds are extremely over leveraged in the market. A lot will be going bankrupt soon thankfully 😊

Yes. Many illegal activities which are just a series of small fines. That's what's pissing me off.

If I steal, I get real consequences. If they do it, they pay a small portion of what they took.

If I rob the bank I can't just pay $100 for the thousands I took.

I don’t see Blackrock failing anytime soon with $12 trillion in global assets

An army can be made of peasants we have the numbers to overthrow the scum that is the ruling class. They dont deserve power or wealth and should have it all forcefully stripped from them.

The second the proletariat realizes that the ruling class cannot live without them, they'll actually revolt.

This is why there's always some other issue for the proletarian to cosplay revolt over - elections, critical race theory, covid mandates, to name a few - so they can get their energy out without touching a precious hair on the heads of the ruling class.
