@kakkerel @thatguyoverthere @11112011 @0 @skells @dj They'd like you to think that.
More like right now everything is financialized. It isn't being priced based on the worth of the actual thing, it's being priced based on the likelihood that it'll continue to go up.
Until now that process has meant that these guys have made tons of money, but we're in a moment where reality is about to come crashing down. You can have all the money in the world, but as we're seeing if you can't get stuff for that money then it's worthless.
It's going to continue happening, and the people who actually do stuff people want I think are going to come out ahead of people who just move piles of resources from one pile to the other.

@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj all good, I can rebook
@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj aaaand there's the money shot 
@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj you shitpost on fedi bro, reality has nothing to do with ot
@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj although you could make a damn good case it's much worse because they spent 14 years propping it up rather than necessity in Obama's 3rd term, after he let it all hang out his first 2
@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj never said it's bad, just said you'd be a fool to award kudos to those in charge
@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj all they've done is facilitate a crash they should have let happen 14 years ago
@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj yeah none of this speaks to genius work by the fed, even assuming that they hold their nerve and don't start printing when all this corporate debt starts bankrupting companies left and right
@11112011 @thatguyoverthere @kakkerel @0 @dj so explain what we're missing here, as you're so clued in
@kakkerel @thatguyoverthere @11112011 @0 @dj blitz you're chatting balls, inflation forces their hand there's nothing intentional or wise about what's going on, they just got it when the music stopped
@vriska man is a product of that system
@cjd that's a prediction, not a method
it seems that the severity of any given crisis is secondary upon the assumption that it is used for a political excuse to arrogate power
you then have two perspectives:
a) what is the danger of a given crisis as such?
b) what room for manouevre do the optics of said crisis allow bad actors?
tbh both seem academic if you simply focus on securing comms/money supply and personal safety/security - yet that's also a recipe for civic decay as it sort of precludes any form of politics and cedes that realm to those who would abuse it
