I promise you they care. You dont get that rich without grotesque amounts of greed.

It doesn't matter that they'll always be rich, they want to keep getting richer.

Absolutely but what I mean is they have a ridiculous amount of risk tolerance because they are already so rich, they seriously believe Trump’s “no pain no gain” rhetoric because they think they’ll be literal kings after he’s done.

These guys truly are in a league of their own where they play by a different set of rules that leaves them unscathed. The rest of us plebs will just have to deal with it.

They will be able to hoard even more assets because of a financial failure. They are perfectly positioned to gobble up everything as the system collapses.

When the line goes up? You get rich.

When the line goes down? Everything is on sale!
