  • They always have, that's what the riots at the 1968 DNC convention were about. The Democratic elite didn't want to run the anti war candidate and instead the country got Nixon.

    It's like they wanted to make history rhyme by having the incumbent President drop out way too late again and having the convention in Chicago.

  • Typically when you buy debt, you get a spreadsheet with contact details, so they'll just send a letter. Even if they don't receive the letter (because they moved or whatever), they'll eventually find out because they don't get calls from debt collectors and it gets removed from the credit report.

  • He's talking about his grandparents ending up at 0 or below as well. Whatever we manage to save before retirement isn't adequate to pay for elder care (unless you're lucky enough to drop dead randomly), and most of us can't build generational wealth to pass on. Basically the wealthy will end up buying whatever assets you have accrued over your lifetime.

  • And even if someone makes a fortune abroad, they'll still generally invest their profits in Wall Street.

    And even if they don't, their country will buy US dollars to keep in their reserves and buy oil.

  • You should listen to the Masterplan podcast as well. This has been in the works since the 70s. And I guess there was the business plot in the 30s before that. You always have to be vigilant or the elites will take the opportunity to install their own dictator.

  • They'd rather be completely in charge of a country that's devolved into slums than to share any power or money with anyone else. They want to keep accumulating personal wealth at the same 5-10% rate even if the overall economy shrinks.

  • At least that's what they're proposing. Not nearly enough, but none of the crazy stuff you see from right wing nationalists (criminalising abortion, banning divorce, removing access to contraception, etc).

  • While I'm sure Putin loves this candidate as well, he was supported by another party within the country. And by deliver for the people, I mean end austerity. If people all have housing, food, jobs, etc, they're not going to fall for the far right playbook.
