Wallstreet continues to make more money as the average person struggles to get by.
The government isn’t regulating the financial sector to mitigate the risk to the people and the economy. WHEN they fail again, there will be no repercussions.
Large banks, investment firms, and Hedge-funds are leveraging their investments to extreme levels to maximize short term profits, and pocket their massive bonuses.
The more you understand it, the more you realize the corruption in the system is so elaborate, and out of our control.
We have blatant conflicts of interest, with credit ratings being given arbitrarily, allowing major banks to essentially gamble people’s life savings, with no accountability when their “AAA” rated investments fail. We have academic journalists being payed to publish papers with clear conflicts of interest and NOT being forced to disclose they were paid for it. We have former execs at large banks, lobbyists, and financial fraudsters being appointed as advisors for our treasury, and yet not a single person was held accountable for the collapse in 2008.
Meanwhile, our response to this is we must WORK HARDER to afford living in the embarrassment of a country we’ve created. While multimillion dollar bonuses are being given to the same people being bailed out, with drugs, private jets, and even prostitutes being written off on their expenses as corporate write offs.
We cannot let this slide any longer. We need companies held accountable. We need people held accountable. Moving forward, please let us band together to hold these people accountable.
These people’s wealth exists by exploiting us, and the only way we can fight them back is through unity. Antiwork must win, and we need revolution to make that happen.
