The weird thing about this take and how he phrases it, is that it only serves one purpose - to insulate the Banks from blame and in the worst possible way.
Sequence of events:
Bloomberg's take is akin to Jack the Ripper running for Prime Minister and blaming the Whitechapel horrors on promiscuous women and their temptingly pierceable flesh. This guy is poison. And there's a non zero chance he could win the primary.
This is the dumbest possible solution to a crisis. Replace one incompetent, intellectually bereft, racist billionaire carpetbagger, with a competent intelligent one. Don't get me wrong, Bloomberg is leagues more qualified to run anything than Trump - and is not in thrall to Vladimir Putin at least. They're not the same. One is a far lesser evil. But as an emergency parachute? He's just a backpack full of monkeypaws. I could sort of feel relief if he were Trump's VP and replaced Trump in this term, because it would prevent a lot of specific horrors - but if Bloomberg somehow won the GE - do you think he'd champion the poor? The working man? African Americans? He'd be better, throw the occasional bone, maybe not embarrass us on the world stage, and he wouldn't deliberately rile up the worst people in America, but his matrix of influences would be other billionaires, and he'd be more competent at passing legislation on their behalf. And even if he'd truly evolved, you think Trump stans are just going to go away, not notice he's Jewish? Reform themselves?
This primary is a fucking joke. The few basically decent candidates fell first. Now we're in a bizarro world where Klobuchar and Steyer look like the most pragmatic picks, and the media is basically designing a WWE tournament based on ratings not qualifications. Meanwhile Warren is having her timeslot sent to die like a promising sitcom.
Conscript Beto. Pressgang Pamela. Bring back Booker. Save us.
The Country should change the presidency into a non partisan Hunger Games style draft. A decent moral intellectual with distinguished qualifications should be forced from is job every eight years and ordered to run the fucking country.
Sequence of events:
- Banks fight to loosen lending regulations.
- Bloomberg reporting absolutely affirms the bank position and helps create the bubble and conditions. And at the very least fails to adequately report a clear and obvious danger.
- Short term profits seen in a bubble housing market makes banks DELIBERATELY go after markets they knew would burst hardest.
- Poor people, including African Americans, are TARGETED - knowingly - with a chain of beneficiaries skimming or waiting for the collapse to pounce.
- The most vulnerable victims are defrauded, then literally ruined - financially, socially, resulting in bankruptcy, suicide, homelessness, just mass scale tragedy.
- Jackals pounce on foreclosures, debt collection and so on.
- Banks fight to be bailed out and win.
- Banks fight to avoid punishment and win.
- Banks fight to demand debt repayments and win.
- Banks, directly and by proxy, try to pin the blame on Black homeowners, even to avoid the wrath of the poor whites they've destroyed. Many of those people believe the banks, all while paying interest debt they'll never escape. Cadillac Welfare Queens caused this.
