So yeah, the economy is fucked

Yeah, no sympathy, kinda. I get people want to feel normal, want to have a holiday but yeah.... We're all adults at the end of the day.

You stupid cunts. The Spain holiday quarantine thing is just another desperate attempt to stimulate the economy by hoping brits holiday here instead of Spain

I don’t think any of you retards have actually grasped how fucked we are yet

There was an economist of Joe Rogan a couple of weeks ago, he was saying we're in the biggest fucking bubble right now and when it pops we're gonna realise that were in a world of shit.

The economy can be fucked and we can be in the middle of a pandemic, they're not mutually exclusive though

Who was it? Because there's a lot of doomsellers like Max Keiser and other 'economists' have been predicting the COLLAPSE every year since about 2005. I remember when the SPS kicked off in 2009 or thereabouts and we were on the brink of financial collapse (the 2007 crash was just the beginning etc) then it was 2010, then 2012, then 2014 and so on. It was always "imminent" and preppers etc buy into it because they revel in that sort of shit.

You can't talk them around because the threshold of proof is impossible, every year that goes by where nothing happens they just push it back a bit more and exclaim 'it's coming, can't say when, but it's coming...' - they'll feel this recession will have vindicated them but a pandemic was always going to fuck the global economy for a bit even if we had it all well balanced and no debt bubbles etc, they'll soon be back to 'it's still coming, we haven't seen anything yet' I don't think any crisis will ever be big enough because they're selling the fear and they'd prefer it to perpetually on the horizon, they're the ones with websites/channels that sell bomb shelters and emergency generators and ration packs.

Lol Craig has his fingers crossed and his toes

I think it was Peter Schiff, you know him? I seen some push back about him on Reddit saying he was a cunt, he was really interesting to listen to. Ultra capitalist if nothing else.

Lol yes he's a muppet. His latest gem: https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/stat...30732984504322

He's deleted another one where he told people in a 'BREAKING NEWS' type discovery like he'd found a loophole in Bitcoin, that it can be taken by others at any time, someone else owns it, whereas gold you can stash wherever you like from the feds blah blah. He was no doubt referring to leaving your bitcoin on an exchange all the time rather than only using them to trade. This does run the risk of losing it because if the exchange is hacked or seized your BTC is vulnerable. However this is well known, and it's completely ignoring cold/paper wallets allowing you to store your bitcoin offline wherever you want, in the same places you could be stashing gold.

So that alone is a red flag for me, he clearly talks bollocks about stuff he's only skim read, barely understands and then professes to be an expert on it to others. If that's his standard of thinking for other stuff as well, then I doubt he's very reliable.
