The big money that controls the narrative aka the media has us all focused on a race war while nothing has been said about them changing the rules once again to allow banks to gamble house money (taxpayer) while we absorb their losses. Imagine if your paycheck was a percentage of what you brought back Trading but you had no consequnces if you lost and your funds were unlimited and not your own. What kind of bets would you make?

The cutting of pensions really gets me. It's not a gift; people took less money during their working years in order to have some security during their retirement years. It's no different from stealing money right out of their savings accounts- which, apparently, the banks can now do, too. Merry Christmas! (weeps)
