Business, Economics, and Taxes 2: That's Why We Fight to Take the Means Back

What rough numbers? From the government? Country's closed. Moose out front should have told you. From the corporate balance sheets? I'll pay you a trillion dollars to eat that bug...

The bubble will only burst when some billionaire gets tired of propping up the system and figures a way to profit off the pop. He will announce that the emperor has no clothes and the market will tumble. Until then everything keeps chugging along even as countless people get laid off, become homeless and decrease the surplus population.

Except crashing the economy is part of the plan. Kinda hard to create their neofeudal society without it.

I don’t think there’s anything they can do to stave things off. Even if Dump lowers the tariffs it’s not going to lower prices, short of holding a gun to the head of every CEO I suppose.

When the extra shifts and extra part time jobs during the holidays that people usually rely on to help them through the rest of winter don’t materialize, people will be lucky to make it through February or March. And by that time, the rough holiday numbers will be out and the layoffs will quickly follow. After the layoffs, things will spiral out quickly.

Yeah...add on that in 3 days SNAP and WIC run out and you are probably right.

Angus: They banned all American wine and beer sales in the province. David Eby told Donald Trump, “You can keep your watery beer.” We’ve seen an 85% drop in American spirit sales to Canada and a 97% drop in wine exports. Canada’s basically wiped out the market

It's amazing to me that they did this skit nearly a century ago and people still don't seem to get it ...
