aceswild User ID: 73261399 United States 12/20/2018 03:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The engineered boom and bust cycle, allows the moneyed class to buy real assets for pennies on the dollar. They buy cheap, run up the markets again, then crash all over again. They benefit from the ups AND the downs, while the retail investors only benefit from the ups. Retail investors and 401k/pensioners can't sell short, can't bet against the market, except through leveraged ETFs that are only for short term gambling. The rises and falls are engineered and rigged to benefit the people who already have big money. |

The reason the left wants you disarmed is because they plan to do things to you that you would shoot them for. To a cat, "No" just means to try again later.

The feds want to make Trump look bad so they jack up the rates at a bad time to tank the economy. Quoting: DNCSwampMonster It's purely mathematical The simple math laughs hysterically at all politicucks. All politicucks get cucked. Live and learn, or not. Why would they jack up the rates when the economy is slowing? That makes no sense to me...but then again I am in no way an expert. They're picking your pocket, time to don the yellow vest! |

Has nothing to do with control of the elites. In fact, each new cycle ushers in new "elite" every time it happens. The "elite" would never allow new people into their club, but here we are. Bezos wasn't a Vanderbilt or a Carnegie or a Rothschild. Neither was Zuckerberg. New technologies come along and change the way things are done and eventually replace the old models with new and improved ones. Most people sit around saying this or that will never happen. They say things like self driving cars are too dangerous, I will never give up my ability to drive myself, the internet is dumb, smart phones are a danger to society, Facebook is stupid, and things like that. They refuse to participate in those things, and worse, they refuse to see past their own biases and this keeps them in the middle class or poor. If the boom / bust cycle is as clear as it is, it should be pretty easy to spot, understand, and profit from. But most don't. Most complain about how things are changing in ways they don't agree with and refuse the change.Then they develop conspiracy theories as to why they're still financially stuck and blame the "elite" for their own failings. Both sides of the political spectrum do this crap... and most suffer from themselves more than anything else. The thing is, these crashes come when stock market companies see their market shares dwindle or replaced by a new company, product, or service. The Shift has been coming for a long time. Most refuse to accept that these changes are going to happen whether they want them to or not. And in their refusals or denials they ignore the potential they have to participate and profit so much from the cycles they themselves could become the elite and walk right out of their own mediocrity. But they don't, they find it easier to blame someone else for the crashes and losing everything. No one ever takes responsibility for their actions or inactions, it's always someone else's fault... Blaming the "elite" is just as much an excuse as the left blaming the GOP for things. It's still victim mentality. Are the "elite" really smarter than you? No, they are not. However, they are willing to accept change and see it as an opportunity early instead of seeing it as a nonsense and dismissing it. So when self driving cars do happen, those that embraced it and things like it will become the next elite and those that said it will never happen will sit around blaming the "elite" for why the world sucks. The "elite" take a chance and some win. There's only two things that separate the "elite" from everyone else, vision and action. The "elite" actually did or do something about their passion or vision. Everyone else complains about why their life sucks or why they aren't "elite" and then plays the victim card saying "the elite" are to blame. Nope, those people themselves are to blame, no one else. The elite are the ones that were willing to completely risk everything for their passion projects. Most fail, but some succeed. And the rest of the people are resentful they don't have the courage to quit the safety of their job and risk everything for what they love to do. Are you willing to risk your house and family for your passion? I bet not, and that's why you'll never be "elite". They only reason people complain about the "elite" is, frankly, they are too chicken shit to become elite themselves and do what they love. So they poopoo people that actually do that. They're caught up in trying to make ends meet and bitching about their jobs and continue to trade in their time and labor for some amount of money someone else decides what that time and labor is worth. If you want to become elite you have to risk everything... and guess what, you WILL fail, A LOT. And that's part of it. Every Elon Musk type has a story of living in a car with $7 left type of thing. The only difference is they never gave up. The desire to quit comes right before success. I know that to be true from my own experiences. RAGE |

He will raise the interest again. The better the economy does the higher the interest rate, unless it's one of their Presidents then they do what they want to keep the illusion alive. First the Globalist cult Federal Reserve gets you into uncontrollable debt, then they use that debt with interest rate hikes to control your politicians and nation. |
