Most of us have no money in the stack market and are unemployed, underemployed, or working three jobs to pay the rent. The economy collapsed for most of us years even decades ago. Let the economy crash. It'll be nice to see some rich bastards join us in having nothing. Maybe they will jump out of some windows for us like in 1929.

People jumping out of windows in 1929 was a hoax made up by Winston Churchill trying to convince poor people that rich people were hurting too. One drunk tourist fell off a balcony before the crash, and Churchill manipulated it for propaganda. The first actual suicide on Wall Street in the weeks after the crash was a clerk in her 20s worked to death by her bosses getting rich off the volatility using her as a human high frequency trading computer.

It's not like the rest of the world is in any way unaffected either, though.

Just look at Lesotho: it's supposedly an independent country that produces a shitload of diamonds (which you would THINK would lead to a lot of wealth), yet is an extremely poor country that is about to become even poorer due to the Mango Mussolini and his moronic tariffs.
