I notice that when anyone says anything negative about the rich on the internet, people show up at lightspeed like you insulted their mom to defend them

Because stereotyping is not, in fact, OK when you do it.

Don’t worry about it - you know why? Because if the entire thing crashes, then everyone crashes with it, and there’s a million people (or more) that have a lot more skin in the game, a lot more power, and therefore a lot more incentive to make sure this doesn’t crash. This is not your battle alone, so don’t worry like it is.

They're going to issue a bailout that saves themselves via your paying for it all.

That happens a lot... Too Big to Fail should never be a concept.

The debt will be inflated away, we'll lose access to cheap debt , and tech-company bonds will be the new treasuries. ultimately we may be better off over the long term since the firehose of government money creates a lot of market distortions and inefficiencies.

Better not skip the ads or your retirement savings will tank…

You’re thinking of Peter Thiel, who is not the CEO of Palantir.

I know who I was thinking of. Theil is looking fro the Antichrist, and the antichrist is Karp. Signs of the antichrist: 1. He will exalt himself. 2. He will heed his inner voice above others. 3. He will be hostile toward the true God. 4. He will exalt human logic above faith. 5. He will prosper for a season and be loved. 6. He will not desire women. 7. He will not follow the faith of his fathers. 8. He will viciously…

Buy gold and silver. Seriously. If you do not see the precipice we are a top of I have nothing else to say. ever since the great recession the Fed has been propping up the economy with low interest rates and Quantitative Easing.

Doesn't feel so roaring.
