    The American state isn't very good at winning wars, or protecting its citizens from natural disasters like hurricanes and pandemics. But it is very, very good at rescuing the banks & Wall Street.https://twitter.com/jneeley78/status/1261119267585613825 …

    I don’t want to jinx anything, but it does seem like the Fed successfully prevented a financial crisis back in March.

        Prevent a financial crisis, but cause a starvation crisis when the UI supplement expires at the end of July. The American way.

        Good at winning wars; bad at nation building.

        The massive front loading of the money cannon for the best connected companies differs from 2008. Back then banks and nonbank market makers were mainly targeted for assistence, and private equity cleaned up in real estate. In 2020 the corporate bailout has a broader gauge.

        The latter is what the American state actually exists to do. The former is what we poors are duped into thinking it’s supposed to exist to do.

        I agree. The point of capitalism is to protect capitalists.
