Reminder, economies are meant to be lowly tools of a society that exist only to maximize the equitable and efficient distribution of goods and services within said society.

Our western, rigged market capitalism has metastasized to the point that our society lives in subsistence and subservience to that lowly, broken tool. To the point that when disaster strikes, our societal leaders rush out to their podiums to reassure ~~us~~ the capital markets that every possible measure will be taken to protect our ~~society people children~~ economy, by which they mean preserving the capital value of the owner's dragon hoards.

Its perverse to watch, it's insane, it's ass backwards, but here we are. Our military protects our owner's capital around the world, our police defend the owner's capital domestically. Meanwhile our people that make up our society struggle to make rent, struggle to eat, and every population center has growing tent cities of citizens we throw away to die of exposure and police harassment for the crime of not producing capital value well enough for the owners of our economy.

Oh how I wish I could force all these economists working for private profit media writing all these "the economy is doing great, it's the people suffering under it who are wrong" pieces to wear their headlines like sandwich signs and walk through their nearest tent city.
