I just want the avocado on a stick.

I've given up on our regulatory system, or legislature or financial system. Over time I've come to realize that our economy has become more and more fake as the banksters have had more influence. The real economy of people making things people need, growing crops, fixing cars, manufacturing things & other important work is reflected less and less in the big financial markets where money is made by just pushing around electronic fiat & laughing as the serfs get trounced again.

Isn’t this backstop tied to the social score of the bank? The ones who tried to save the Earth the most get saved first?

Can’t we just let the Fed implode and start over already?

Waiting to see little Timmy ride in on a white horse. This is all a fool’s production now.

This is like the Omni magazine of finance; the Butthole Surfers of economics. Two thumbs up...WAY UP.

And I'm no longer ashamed of my guacamole in a squeeze tube.

Note new BTFP: Buy the F*cking Propaganda. They probably don't think we are all this stupid, but that the media will help push the narrative over the finish line

It’s so insightful that I might even pay for a subscription.

There's almost no recourse. I've been lucky before. Twitter is run by people who hate their users.

These people might as well tattoo "Please guillotine me" on their foreheads. They just double-down on the neofeudalism while ignoring glaring resource and environmental problems, and I don't mean the climate change lunacy, I mean collapse of ecosystems that support all life, nothing to do with Greta Thunberg's vanity project. Hyper complex systems without redundancy is no way to run a civilized society in a finite world.

I've been watching all this from Taiwan and SE Asia for 26 years, and thinking, at some point they will come to their senses and see all of this is unsustainable, but no, just more doubling down, more lies, ever more taxation, grift, bureaucracy, fascism and decay.

Nonetheless, I will remain hopeful, because there is no other option, and because I have children. Things can change quickly if circumstances are right. Humans have been through worse.

That toast looks to have a better taste than the bailout.
