    They need to be insured like bank accounts. Everyone I know that makes less than 50k a year is getting their shit direct deposited to cashapp and using cashapp like it’s their bank. If they go belly up in a financial crash, it’s going to be like the great depression, but only for already poor folk

        There being a purpose to capitalism implies that there is some grand plan behind this system. There isn’t.

        I think you are so terrified by the idea that the world and it’s economic system are inherently chaotic that you are coming up with entirely irrational attempts at smart-sounding explanations like this one.

        This doesn’t mean that there aren’t elites exploiting their favorable position in the current system, including in times of crisis that they caused themselves.
