Of course it's worth it for them. The super-rich profited massively from the 2008 financial crisis. Now they're engineering another one.

The 2020 one too. And the unofficial ongoing one. Though that's arguably still the 2020 one.

Thats right, these rich and wealthy are happy to sacrifice the current economy for a recession for their “plan”. I hope the average joe worker who voted them in is ready for that sacrifice for the next few years because it’s going to be rough but don’t you mind the rich and wealthy will be fine as they buy the low dip on well everything enriching themselves further.

Of course then the rich get to buy up everything while is cheap and In peril and they get more power. It’s like they are doing it on purpose. Oligarchy here we come
