    We warned everyone - the rich love electing republicans because they crash everything and make people sell their stuff l, businesses and properties off cheap, it’s a fire sale for rich people, who then either hold on to that and borrow against it for more wealth, create monopolies, and raise prices further, or who just accrue more wealth and power for sport in this manner.

      Don’t forget that since they sold all their stuff, they now have to buy all new stuff in the eventual upswing, now at an inflated price.

      The ultra-wealthy are literally pawnbrokers on a national scale.

        Well they are trying to kill off as many poors as possible, so they don’t expect everyone to rebuy their likely more crappy than before shit.
