Running the country like he did his six casinos.

Or his university

Or his tie company

Or his steak company

Literally the only thing with name attached to it that doesnt fail are the hotels he sells his name rights too, and they dont fail because they are owned and controlled by other people that arent morons. They just have a moron’s name on the building

All by design. Run up the bills, suck out every penny of profit, steal whatever you can, declare bankruptcy, stiff everybody you owe, walk away richer. Rinse and repeat.

If you get away with it every time, why wouldn't you do it?

Fuck Wall Street. I hope it collapses.

Sadly lots of people retirement and Healthcare are tied up in it. Otherwise I 1000% agree with sentiments.

That's the ransom.

The government could easily provide universal access to those, but tying it up into the financial system is how you get people to give them enormous leeway to rob them blind.

We can take care of our people without gambling in a rigged system.

Wall Street isn’t the only thing we need to tear down.

100% its just what happens to those that sacrificed so much of their income, chances for activities/events, and socializing.

I couldn't find the expression but It was something like positive change cant happen without pain today. In reality it was always a gamble and it all could have been lost dude to some douche thinking bleach in blood is cool. just this way everyone wins. Thats the way I think it needs to be looked at to find peace.
