Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I've never been rooting so hard for my own demise

Oh there’s a demise I’m rooting for, but it ain’t mine.

This isn't necessarily going to affect the ultra rich who count on crashes like this to buy up real estate and assets in mass.

It's practically a guaranteed win, a cheat code even .

If you're ultra rich and wanna be ultra ultra rich, just setup a market collapse by acquiring power. And now you're ultra-ultranrich, and the next one is even easier.

The undereducated masses are so easy to mislead they might as well not be a factor. It's trivial to get the masses to fight amongst themselves by stirring the culture war pot with the near monopoly on media you and your buddies have bought. While you carry on class warfare unopposed

I wonder what a cage match between Trump and a locust from the Book of Revelation would look like.
