$300 billion just fucking gone in the stock market today and it’s honestly fine its just a 4.6% decline investors are not going to be harmed by this at all bc we can afford to just piss all that money into the wind it’s just a minor market correction but we can’t afford to provide healthcare or housing for people who are dying. We can’t afford $300 billion for education or feeding the hungry or replacing the goddamn pipes in Flint, MI that are poisoning people and causing miscarriages or for turning the power back on in Puerto Rico 4 months after the hurricane but we can just let that money vanish into the ether without anyone really affected by it at all. Capitalist efficiency at its finest.
