Probably not the place for it but I shall point out that the 00s were going swimmingly until the cunts at Goldman Sachs and others of a similar bent made a shedload of cash out of turning the housing market into a massive casino and then stuck taxpayers the world over with the bill in the '08 crash and the global economy has been pretty much fucked ever since.
It's Goldman Sachs. Those board members should be in prison.
I dunno. I kinda consider 9/11 to be the shifting point. That’s when racism came roaring back and also the introduction of the Patriot Act. The 2008 crash was just the solidification of the shit show to come.
The LA race riots and Clintons going on about "super-predators" would like a word with you about racism going away in the 90's
Didn’t say that it wasn’t there. Just that it got a lot worse after 9/11 and the following years.
9/11 was a pretext for doing what they wanted to do anyway. Kind of like how the Olympics in LA was the pretext they needed to militarize the police there.
Finding a pretext isn't hard, but sometimes events outside of your control just kinda hand one to you.
I've heard that the high tide was end of WW II. Sloping exponentially downwards, with the occasional oil boom or bust.
The 2008 crash was also the result of Greenspan and Bush’s 0% interest rate bullshit that prevented savings and ruined the housing market while starting wars to avoid smaller correctional recessions. 9/11 was the excuse, so I kinda caused all this, in a way.
YOU did?!? You son of a...
Guys, guys. We all know the true inflection point. Harambe.
I'm starting to think having my dick out this whole time hasn't been working.
Just imagine how much worse things would have been if we hadn’t
Its working for me....
Dicks out everyone.
Sure. Prison would be fine. Hell, I'll gladly argue for the reduced sentence after they're brought to justice. I bet I'll be feeling generous.
