    "capitalism. the thing that sells everything but itself."

    Is it a good thing it doesn't have a pitch? Should it have one or just be crucified by everyone exploiting it?

    America's billonaires got $484billion RICHER during the pandemic - with the top five seeing a combined $76billion added to their personal wealth.

    New report shows the country's billionaires have grown richer during pandemic

    Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg are among those who made financial gains

    Between March 18 and May 19, the total net worth of the 600-plus U.S. billionaires rose from $2.948 trillion to $3.382 trillion, the report found

    It is estimated over 38.6 million Americans have lost their jobs during the crisis

    Nothing like good oldé American Covid Profiteering.

    Let's charge them dumb American's only $1 buck for the product, but charge $9 bucks for delivery for a 1oz package.

    • add more to your cart for free shipping, Mike... & try and remember your single lil purchase will go thru 10+ hands (shipping) and cost $x.xx in gas/packing etcPonyBoy
    • For many products on Amazon it does not work that way, even if you're a Prime member. These companies find creative ways to get around the free delivery.utopian
    • Having someone hand-deliver a 1oz bottle to the location of your choice anywhere in America should cost WAY more than $9nb

    For those that would like to educate themselves on how/where the motivations for our current economy, this is a great read (insanely thorough). As they say, 'truth is stranger than fiction'.

    This is also for those that would like to learn about a 'real' conspiracy that is actually shaping our world as I type this. Fascinatingly terrifying!

    '“The United States is now at one of those historic forks in the road whose outcome will prove as fateful as those of the 1860s, the 1930s, and the 1960s,” writes MacLean. “To value liberty for the wealthy minority above all else and enshrine it in the nation’s governing rules, as Calhoun and Buchanan both called for and the Koch network is achieving, play by play, is to consent to an oligarchy in all but the outer husk of representative form.”

    Nobody can say we weren’t warned.'

    • It's ironic that those that fall for this ideology are also the ones yelling about "freedom", "free markets", etc., etc.formed

    Heyyyyy...

    The stock market is back at the previous highs pretty much but millions and millions people lost their jobs.

    That's what the last video I posted was all about.

    20 year old commits suicide after owing $700K+ in losses to Robinhood trading platform because he didn’t know he was trading options on margin.

    https://www.zerohedge.com/market…

    • Apparently it’s that easy to open an account on margin w Robinhood and trade with money you don’t have and amass great margin losses.NBQ00
    • Some stocks/ options must’ve really made extreme moves in the opposite direction of his trades to amass $700K+ margin losses, yikes.NBQ00
    • Easy if you ignore all the warnings and don’t read upmonospaced
    • There should’ve been a limit in place. I know that ThinkorSwim/ TDAmeritrade has limits in place and locks the account if the margin losses are at certain %NBQ00
    • I bet this kid had couple grand at most (if at all) in his account. To amass $700K+ margin losses is insane and shouldn’t be possible with little $$ in accountNBQ00

    Think the World economy must drop the US because the amount of financial stupidity and negligence going on right now in the States will drop on us like that asteroid dropped on the dinosaurs...the fallout from another full market crash will put us back 20-30 years at least!

    And with coronavirus going on up until the 2022 at least, we will be doomed for real this time

    WW3 will be an economic one...

    • Bro, do you even know capitalism? :)

      “World economy must drop the US...” what? World system without the US would be fucked.

    • That's what I'm saying unfortunately...
      Dropping the $ would be WW3 on an economics level

    • couldn't we just wait 20-30 years till all the owners of that debt die out and start a new balance sheet meanwhile?uan
    • Pull everything and buy real assets fast, until the $ value goes to shit. Printing trillions unbacked by real assets & giving it to the rich without helping...grafician

    • instead of starting war about some numbers?uan
    • @uan mate there was a time when the $ was backed by gold - then the US said "no more" and starting printing "fake" money and here we are...grafician
    • and no, debt is inherited through generations, basically all the trillions printed now are backed by "future generation's work's worth"grafician
