    Hmm the article doesn’t actually say they’re rooting for it to collapse, it just says they don’t mind if it collapses

        And then get bailouts on top of it.

        They won during the inflation of the bubble, they win by getting the inside view and some limited control on the bubble bursting (thus, privileged opportunities to react and profit from the burst at minimum), THEN their very important companies get bailed out and escape the well-earned consequences.

        It’s win-win-win, and everyone but them pays the price, pretty much no matter what (with minor exceptions, maybe, if shit goes truly off the rails - from their perspective, by my measure, we’re already there of course).

      They still think they’ll have collateral without an economy and they can buy up all the pieces for cheap and “rule” the ashes.

      No, the banks will call in their loans to you once your stock isn’t worth dick and you will have to sell all your assets to the Saudis because you let the petrostates continue to exist instead of making real investments like devices to pull FREE ENERGY FROM THE SUN.

      You could have made your stupid LLM toys independent of foreign energy ichor but your net worth is entirely fake and so you HAD to flow your profits to the REAL stakeholders, you baby dick losers
