      Right? The past 50 years of neoliberal economic policy has been designed to exhaust whatever meager savings the proletariat could scrape together. They're trying to squeeze blood from stone at this point.

      They killed a million front line workers and are now wondering where all the front line workers went

      And that’s just excess deaths. How many have been permanently disabled?

    accelerating the tendency of the rate of profit to fall to save the capitalism :marx-joker:

    "when the workers are unable to buy our products they will get jobs at our facilities and still be unable to buy our products but now we've drained their savings too"

      Also a mask off moment of sorts.

      This is great when I was just listening to a self-described objectivist argue with Sam Seder that work as it currently exists in the US isn't coercive.

    I guess it's austerity time again already. The other side of the coin is nobody buying anything because they don't have any money left.

    There was a great economist named Kalecki who was a few years ahead of Keynes and better than Keynes, and he said that profits come from worker's savings, government deficits, trade surpluses, dividends, and real investment. I guess the administration is taking the large government deficits off the table and sees savings depleting soon, so maybe profits will collapse again as was foretold in the prophecy. :marx-joker:
