Why we can't have nice things.

A few years back, Wheelwright offered the definitive explanation on why "fake and gay" is such an apt expression for describing everything around you.

@hannahowo_usa Hi there

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

I want to get serious about Tom Walsh for a second, because we all have a right to know who is really running for VP. And while I don’t vote, I take stolen valor VERY seriously.

@Tim_Walz claims that he coached a high school football team to a state championship. That would ordinarily make him a more qualified candidate than every member of Congress. But what is Senator Walsh NOT telling you about?

That his championship was not won in Georgia or Texas or Mississippi or even, god forbid, Ohio. He “won” it in MINNESOTA. Can you name a single football player of note to ever come out of Badger State? Cause I sure as hell can’t

That state is known for three things: hockey (not a real sport), cheese, and the fact that Fargo is there. That’s literally it

I am calling on Senator Walsh to do the right thing and set the record straight

Okay who did this?!?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[Ron DeSantis @GovRonDeSantis]

Today, @flsao5 announced that they will seek the death penalty in a case of sexual battery against a child under age 12.

It will be the first case to challenge SCOTUS since I signed legislation to make pedophiles eligible for the death penalty.

@flsao5 has my full support.

[Guy Swann @TheGuySwann]

No, we should not bail out the investors, owners, bankers, OR the depositors! Do you think the value and the resources needed to cover a multi billion dollar insolvency comes out of nowhere?

This is the most dangerously stupid & cartoonish idea ever. YOU ARE STEALING FROM THE POOR, from everyone's standard of living, from the middle class who did *not* make a mistake. And it's not some esoteric, abstract theft either. It's real resources with real costs.

People have this crazy idea that prices just go up and this is natural and there's nothing we can do. You know what actually causes these prices to infinitely rise? The endless creation of debts, printing money, bailouts, ceaseless overconsumption, manipulation of financial markets via politics, and the constant propping up of investments and institutions that **consume more than they produce.** In short, THIS.

That's exactly what this is. The reason the gap for the poor keeps getting larger is because of THIS behavior, because of THIS mentality. Because of THIS response. When you say "oh think about the everyday depositors" you do so at the expense of those who saw their rent go up ANOTHER 20% this year. Who saw the price of food go up, who saw their wages stagnate, who *already* lost their job. They are the ones paying for your mistakes.

I am so, so sorry for the people caught up in this shitstorm, and I wish everything that it hadn't happened, but this will NEVER stop if we keep pretending there are no consequences and we dump the costs onto people who had no involvement whatsoever.

It's not make believe, you cannot wish it away. YOU are making people poor to pay for your mistakes. There is no free lunch. This is the apex of selfishness, that you would want others to pay the price in endlessly high living costs, in wages that constantly fall in value, in prices that never cease to skyrocket, that you would watch them struggle, watch them feel like life is meaningless & that they can never get ahead because everything will always get more expensive without ever stopping & why even try? Why produce? Why earn when it all gets taken anyway, when it never amounts to any genuine progress? Why not just dive head first into the political debt & consumption machine and just beg for a bailout when it goes wrong like everyone else?

I feel for those who will suffer from this. More than you probably believe. But I feel even more for those who are stuck in endless poverty, who never even have a chance, and when there is even a ghost of hint of prices being corrected, of the overconsumption being punished... they get kicked in the gut all over again to bail out Silicon Valley.

This lie can go on for decades, but eventually you run out of producers, eventually you get into a series of cascading debt bubbles and banking crises, eventually you find yourself in a place where the central bank doesn't respond to economic conditions, they actively and permanently manipulate everything about it. Because we purposefully engineered systemic fragility and corruption and let the real workers bail it out and prop it up over, & over, & over again. Today it might just seem like a depositor to a bank, or just a few investors, or one important bank, but the end of that road is the total destruction of our entire economic foundation.

You wonder why it feels like the world is falling apart? Why it feels like nothing is safe? Why it feels like we aren't making progress anymore? Why it feels like the US is a pathetic shadow of its former self? This is why.

Maybe you don't realize this is the truth of it, & you are not to blame for this. It is purposefully hidden by the politicians, corporate interests, & liars who profit most from it. It is understandable that you didn't know. But in hearing this, you *can* be faulted for ignoring something that you know is true, just because you wish it wasn't.

I wish there was a magic wand, but it doesn't exist.

[Fenix Ammunition @FenixAmmunition]

How about this:

The taxpayers can bail out SVB, and in exchange, their management has five years to give us a 400% return on our investment or they go to prison for the rest of their lives.

I mean... it was easy to do when the money was going into their pockets, right?

Deal?
