just wondering if anyone has thought this far yet because it’s likely to happen imo. how long will it be able to hold things off? lol idk probably not long but it will be done a couple of times at least.

we will be ruined. will people start taking to the streets then? it should have happened long, long ago, but maybe then? i truly don’t know anymore. events have passed that i thought would surely speak to and motivate Americans… nothing.

    If you look at other historical events related to bailouts, like the mortgage crisis in 08. Corporations will get a pass, and there will be a few fall guys. Other CEOs and execs will continue with their life. All the while the 99% will pay and struggle.

    I’m not intimately familiar with the stock market crash that led to the Great Depression, but I’d wager something similar happened then too.

    Americans will not be motivated until a few thing happen. Either there’s no choices at stores (or nothing to buy at stores). Or enough people are destitute and have mother left to lose. Then people will start to stand up for themselves.

    Most people truly believe they will be the next 1%. Until that hope remains, nothing will happen.
