Lots of those people were insisting things weren’t going to shit in 2008 when Lehman, Bear Sterns, etc. were going tits up. Most of the time it’s people convincing themselves not to panic, it isn’t like they have any documentation to back up their assertions. Lots of people are checking out their 401ks and seeing nothing but red, which will freak people out who dumbassedly feel stocks will only go up and there’s never any time where it goes down.
Tbh, governments are just going to make the printers go brrr to paper over these losses. I don’t see major banks falling apart without depositors being made whole. That’s slightly better than in 2008-2009 when governments just gave lots of cash to the banks who kept it and gave themselves nice bonuses with it.
Yep Credit Suisse may be at this point. The Swiss National Bank just poured $50 billion into them. How much more do they have in the tank?
And Germany's clearly not gonna help. Who do you think Lagarde actually works for? For decades her only mission has been preventing inflation in Germany. Fuck everyone else.
Speaking of everyone else, has anybody checked on Spain, Greece, Italy or Ireland lately? Are they on fire yet?
50 billion? Chump change! We can do better than that!
Up to 2,000 billion dollars is being printed to keep this house of cards afloat just a little while longer, at least until it's some Republican admin's fault.
When does hyperinflation start kicking in? Or are we in uncharted territory now?
