2008 will be a nice memory compared to what's coming

Don't worry, the people responsible in 2008 were held accountable. They also didn't profit massively off the economic collapse. Frodo also got the ring to Mordor. He had some help, but the ring was ultimately destroyed.

Who was held responsible? That was a big joke.

My favorite quote from The Big Short:

In the years that followed, hundreds of bankers and rating agency executives went to jail. The SEC was completely overhauled, and Congress had no choice but to break up the big banks and regulate the mortgage and derivatives industries.

Just kidding. Banks took the money the American people gave them, and they used it to pay themselves huge bonuses, and lobby the Congress to kill big reform. And then they blamed immigrants and poor people, and this time even teachers.

Obama's biggest failures are not going after these fuckers and the W war criminals

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I thought his biggest failure was his raining hellfire on whistleblowers, kids protesting, and immigrants, but I'm willing to debate this. The real sting is that we had such high hopes and we got ...that, instead, and then Biden after. I was so happy when Obama was elected the first time.

2009 should have been the end of trying to "reach across the aisle." 2010 should have been the end of the filibuster.

Dr. Burry! If the investors withdraw, what's gonna happen here? Are we done?

Honestly, I don't know! The... the... The bonds aren't going down! They won't move! It's possible that we are in a completely fraudulent system.

Or... you're, you're wrong.

Sure! It's possible, I just don't know how!

You'll never guess Burry's current companies he's shorting lol

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

So true, and God damn so effective.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 7 points 14 hours ago

One part of that is just a story. As for the other part: I'm glad Frodo made it with help from his friends.
