Reply to comment by patriots317 in The Fed Raised Rates But The Economy Is Cooling: Understanding The Current Macro Situation by HorrorCharacter5127
What planet do you live on? I'm old enough to remember the bastards being bailed out during the 08 recession. Recession is big business for those 1%ers. Ask the ten folks from SVB who got 13bil when their bets didn't hold up to rate hikes. Those losers failed their way right on up.

You’re the 1% when talking about world population.

First of all, doubt. And B: we're not talking about that, we're talking specifically about US Fed and fiscal policies.
So thanks but no thanks on the reductive straw man argument.

😂 only cares and matters when you use the numbers to your advantage and can point the finger. Got it.

You don't know what the heck you're talking about. You said I'm top 1% of global population? This link above says you're full of it. I can find more if you want to take another shot?

That’s selected territories and countries ….. you don’t wanna count the actual poor do you?

Still not there yet and this 2018, you're sadly proving my point while losing your own argument in the weeds.

Ok, while I'd love to send you more reading material I don't think we have all of the data necessary for me to completely irrefutably disprove your bullshit. Are we just name calling because we're upset or would you like to continue what I was talking about regarding the US Fed policy and the media's "inflation" narrative?

They didn't print money they moved a decimal on a computer and sent checks out. I know you have a hard time accepting that the dollar is a fiat currency but it's been that way for a while now, and the US government can pay for whatever it has the will and labor to do. Tell me, how do you feel about ten folks at SVB getting a mulligan on their $13 billion gamble?

Of course, I momentarily forgot the term "depositors"
Still pretty wild how the US back stopped them and so fast, I wonder how precedent will work going forward. Do think this "spending" will drive inflation more? By how many more basis points until jpow is happy with the unemployment numbers? This is a good opportunity for you to share your perspective but you only wanted to comment on what equates to a grammatical error.

None of it is "taxpayer money" it is all US dollars of which the government creates. You're going to say anything except that the real problem around inflation is price gouging. It's a long way to go to beat around that bush but I respect it, a little.
