@moosesnWoop 4 года назад

They can't though because a lot of the money is meant to be moving through the books or held in stock etc. so they actually do need bailing out because they directly affect jobs and unemployment. It's really fascinating to see the economics of it all and to understand the pivots and strings of how it's all connected. Cash flow is important factor

Hector, in todays' economies, when that money is invested in people to be expressed as consumer demand, capitalists respond to that demand with increased production. That increased production (more goods and services for the money to chase) keeps inflation down. It is only when money chases the same number of products that inflation occurs. In Venezuela and Africa, the currency became useless because the printing of monies was not spread amongst the population, so there was no reason for capitalists to create more goods.

To answer the question, it looks like a general strike is the only thing that will bring the oligarchy to their senses and realise they cant keep benefiting at everyone else's expense. That was the main reason FDR had to come up with the original New Deal when the Wall St sociopaths in that day drove the country in a great depression, wasnt it. The only way to make greedy capitalist failures and their craven political enablers see reason is to put the fear into em. But Americans have so little practice in fighting back en masse, often thanks to a complaisant media in collusion with the very thieves screwing the working and middle class. Maybe seeing (once a fkn again) how little the politicans/gov s they 'elected' are willing to do for them vs what theyre prepared to do for the v rich and powerful will finally convince them to revolt or fight back.

Saagar says about Chamath's views on letting failing businesses actually fail "...do you represent a newer way of thinking about American business?". This is where we are today...it's actually shocking to hear someone espouse a necessary and crucial aspect of Capitalism...the allowance of failure.
