By complete crash, I guess I mostly mean the economy is a smoking crater. Manufacturing grinds to a halt due to tariffs. Liquidity dries up. It takes decades to rebuild from that, it arguably took WWII to undo the Great Depression. An important difference is that most people were still farming when that happened. If we had a depression on that scale today, my gut says it would be much worse. Arguably, it would be apocalyptic as the US standard of living rapidly dropped to a third world standard.

So, yeah, billionaires would totally be fine. However, they wouldn't be able to visit their hometown, go shopping, spouses and kids would bitch. Even a billionaire likes ice cream.

The Epstein thing is totally a hunch on my part, but it's a strong hunch. Chump is fucking up things he doesn't have the capacity to understand. It's fine if he rapes kids or puts them in concentration camps, but a billionaire's concubine starts bitching about a boutique store or whatever, it becomes a billionaire problem.

Which is pretty fucking sick. Hoping the parasites are inconvenienced enough to maybe prevent famine.
