THE ECONOMIC CRISIS IS A POLICY CHOICE
In today’s @markets newsletter, I wanted to remind people that none of the economic devastation we’re seeing was inevitable. It’s a political choice that it’s so awful.https://t.co/e5TYtjIuOw pic.twitter.com/R8msLzcos2

The plutes/conservatives saw their chance and they took it. The Democrats, had they any spine, could’ve resisted (just as in 2008/9) and did not.
Of course just like last time you’ll have morons coming out of the woodwork screeching, “No one could’ve known!” and that it was “inevitable,” but that’s just cover for them making use of the pillaging and looting opportunity they were waiting for.
What’s happening now is a policy choice. Never been anything but. Anyone who tells you any different is lying to you or is a useful idiot.
