My question is why aren't the masses descending on washington dc by the 10's of millions demanding and if neccessary rioting in the streets demanding an end to massive money printing before they destroy our entire country. this is an outrage what they're doing to save a few banks and brokers. STOP STOP STOP STOP PRINTING.
It was very convoluted and deceptive from the very beginning. And was peppered with short term benefits each step of way.
Because the masses are far too stupid to understand even 1% of what is actually going on, that's why. They would need an intelligence increase of about 2 orders of magnitude to be able to get mad at the right people... it's very easy to mislead imbeciles.
We live in a world whereby the precedence that determines a course of action is resolved by way of the majorities "awareness" or in other words, currently determined by way of empirical "facts". At this point in time we still have a strong Dollar. The sheeple will "catch up" when the facts become undeniable.
The real question is, why don't all of you who are so baffled that no one is doing anything about it, actually get off you fat lazy asses and get things started
include yourself in your quote smartass oh right I forgot, you don't care, you somehow believe you none of this will affect you your stinkin 115 k will be as good as 35 k when FED is done with USA and this will be in 5-10 years SO YEAH YOU'LL EVEN LIVE TO SEE IT SMART ASS
We are all venal and selfish, it is a matter of cost/reward, risk/benefit. We take best option, such as benefiting from the problem, running away from it and leaving the problem to others, then fighting it if we have to.
Not at all... There is nothing that can be offered in response at the point in time when the majority rebel. I'm not saying it won't be a rough ride.... I'm saying the outcome is pre-determined.
