You don't need to understand Economics to scam people

You just need to be willing to lie and give no fucks about ruining the economy. And then when you do ruin the economy you hold out your hand and demand trillions in the form of government bailout money all while demanding less financial regulation bc and more diversity quotas so that the scam artists can cross cultures

Everyone who's saying this movie is jewish is fucking retarded. If it were, then it wouldn't exist, because the Jews rule 100% of all banks worldwide and also 100% of every single movie ever made. Why would they expose a part of their system if they themselves are running it? Fucking idiots

It's funny how you bestow these magical superpowers on banks and act like anyone else is delusional.

Fun fact: banks create money out of nothing. If they create money out of nothing and invest it poorly the economy goes to shit and the government has to bail them out. Where does the government get money? It creates the money out of nothing via the FED.

You could essentially eliminate our entire banking system and replace it with public credit creation (the same type the banks get) and cut the trillions of dollars of financial overhead paid to bankers

rather they create money out of nothing and then, when the economy goes to shit the government bails them out by creating more money for nothing via the FED

Nothing a bank does is remotely productive, it's a purely extractive, parasitic action.

What happens when all the bad loans they make inevitably default? Well you get a crash like 2008. Bear Stearns crashed and for whatever reason the government let them collapse, setting off the huge market selloff, but then went off to save every other corrupt, criminal wall street bank that committed however many trillions of dollars in mortgage fraud.

Inflation adjusted real estate prices are nearly twice what they were in the 70s despite real wages having declined.

Just so you understand the difference in the future: money=/=wealth. You can keep preaching this nonsense of yours but at the end of the day it's all about wealth.
