        Not Trump. Maybe some of those around him.

        But even those don’t always have a handle on what’s happening, and events can fuck over even the best-prepared.

        I will not give them that much. Many of these people at the top are greedy idiots. The smartest things they did are to buy other greedy idiots who were elected and to pay greedy smart people to keep modifying the system that they themselves don’t fully understand to make them richer.

      No, this is totally the point. The wealthy can borrow cheap money now to buy up all the property people are losing in disasters and financial crises. Welcome to renter hell, peons.
