The social security trust fund is an example. Callidus, OILERMAN, and MadMax 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callidus Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 3 hours ago, OILERMAN said: They don't want people educated on finance. They want people spending. The economy is 70% consumption based. Did anyone see Howard Lutnick praising the fact that credit card debt was at an all time high? People said he was an idiot for saying that because people are in credit card debt because they can't afford daily expenses. But he knew what he was saying. As long as people are spending, even if it's debt(especially debt) profits go up and the markets go up. The project 2025 guys, Vance, Peter Thiel etc... were preaching a higher birth rate. Bashing single childless cat ladies! They want more workers and more consumers. A smaller population means a smaller consumer base, reducing demand for goods and services. This impacts businesses, especially those that rely on large customer pools, such as retail, housing, and healthcare industries. With fewer people entering the job market, there’s less spending and investment, which can result in lower growth and productivity. Ofc they love debt. It means the money has to keep flowing and you are paying more for everything. MadMax, and OILERMAN 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 There was a Floyd Mayweather thread but it's so old it was archived. This dude was buying multiple 1 mill+ watches and spending money like no one. I knew he'd go bankrupt. He might be the all time example now IsntLifeFunny, and Callidus 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it just an addiction to shiny shit? Or is it simply the he is wearing the same shit he had on monday syndrome turned up to 11? Also suprised I didn't catch that auto correct lol.

Exactly. Excuses will be made and people will come up with all kinds of reasons why that's for other people and not them but the truth is, in America, literally anyone without a disability can do it. The bar is essentially don't become a single parent in your teens, have a job, don't have a disability. Janitors have become millionaires in America.

The guy in Pursuit of Happyness could tell you all about that. I think a lot of people have had that kind of will and drive beaten out of them though. There’s a lot of fucking despair in this country. And all they keep hearing is how AI is coming to take everyone's jobs. It feels like there's an unseen force pissing and shitting all over everything. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 7 hours ago, OILERMAN said: What I don’t understand is even if he sells this shit for pennies on the dollar there should be a lot of value. The gambling was probably it. Unless he literally never paid a single month on the loans for the houses & yachts. Callidus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
