    They used to call this the Boom/Bust Cycle of Capitalism. But then economists rebranded it as “the Business Cycle” to downplay how accurately Marx described the Boom / Bust Cycle of Capitalism.

    Last time they said something like this, it was a year before the housing bubble crashed and the world financial markets shit the bed.

    Can’t wait to see the new crisis.

        I’m expecting this one will be a lot worse because the last one was stabilized by China buying up a fuck ton of US bonds. Fat chance of China bailing US out this time around. Not only that, but around two thirds of US bonds are held by the Global South, and these countries are now dumping the bonds.

      Basically, the stock market ran on AI hype because people thought that AI would transform the economy somehow. Now the hype is dying down, people are coming back to reality where economy isn’t actually growing and tech stocks aren’t gonna be enough to save it.

      Note how they always profit from the crisis. Taking note of the degree they control the economy of the global hegemon it’s only logical to assume that they can manage the crisis timeline somewhat to fire it off when they are more or less ready.
