    —there isn’t a literal cabal of people that actually enforces it (although the Fed is trying to boost unemployment with tight fiscal policy, so its not the market is natural and exists on its own without human manipulation)

    You say there isn’t while describing the one that is.

    Regardless, those at the top meet annually in Davos. They all know each other, they sit on various boards with each other. They don’t need to even make phone calls to spread any word or idea, just spread it in a board meeting and by the end of the week it’ll be global

    With power in the hands of so few, there doesn’t need to be a singular voice in control. all their interests already align

    So “market dynamics” really just means the explicit interests of robberbarons and landleaches.

    Consolidated wealth has a profound effect on the human psyche, not one bit of which offers anything beneficial.

    Philanthropy isn’t charity, it’s PR.

      Yes, because it’s not a secret and it’s not illegal. Those are actually hallmarks of conspiracies. These people openly do this stuff lol
