I think we can put calling it "the most powerful office in the world" on pause. Apparently, there is an office somewhere else, unbeknownst to us, that is more powerful.

Well, that ain't gonna happen. They sure as fuck aren't going to blame their masters.

When the media needs a scapegoat to demonize someone they use Nazis or the Russians. It's so lazy.

They do it because it works.

  • You have something that I don't have, but I have an idea [insider info] that the value on that item is going to drop. Let's say it's worth $10 now and I think it's going to drop to $4.

  • So, I borrow what you have, promising to give you your $10 item back, plus $1 in 10 days.

  • You lend me your $10 item and I sell while it's still worth $10. Then, when it drops to $4, I buy it back.

  • I now have the item I borrowed, plus the extra $6.

  • I give you back your $10 item plus the $1 I promised. You're happy because you got a 10% return in less than 10 days, and I walk away with the $5.

  • But, in this case, someone caught on and started buying up the shares, causing a buying frenzy, driving up the price of the $10 item, making it seem like it's worth $300.

  • I have a contract to pay you back, so what I just sold for $10, I have to buy back at $300. So, I lost $290 and still have to give you the item back, plus $1.

  • Now, do this hundreds of thousands of times and you're making some serious bank - or in this case, losing some serious bank!

didn't affect 99% of all people who were there

Just fact checked that and it's false.

It didn't affect 99.99% of all people who where there.
