The wealthy love periods when our economy collapses, it gives them the opportunity to buy all of the assets from everyone down below for pennies on the dollar. Five years later they’ve made 20x what they spent and can sell that back to the poor schmucks for twice what it’s worth.
Hey look it’s a terrorist, blocked
