    That’s not what happens in a crash. I’m not sure what history books you are reading.

    Millions lose their jobs. Millions can’t afford housing. Supply chains shut down. Food isn’t delivered to grocery stores. Hundreds of thousands of people die.

    The rich consolidate more power and control as the losses are taken by the working class. The profits are private, the negatives of the crash are socialized.

    I don’t know where the idea that the stock market crash doesn’t effect people that “don’t own stock” came from. You don’t get to benefit from its rise. But you sure as hell will be treated as meat for the capitalist machine when it’s contradictions hit their breaking point.

    Don’t wait for it. Prepare for it.

    Here. Hollywood explaining it if that didn’t get through to you.

    You’re the people dying. The rich are the guys in the clip.
