    Soon it will be running on tax dollars. That’s the only way this ends.

      It really doesn’t have to end that way. Those shithead rich who threw their money into this can just take the L, and not beg for a bailout.

        Yeah… Sure. Except that’s not how capitalism actually works. See capitalism is just socialism for the rich.

              Are you armed? If the answer is no, there is an action you can take. Learning to safely use and store firearms takes time.
