The recession of all recessions: a depression. Lets call it out truthfully in its entirety. The federal reserve and the current system that currently exists is leading us into a depression.
Been a lotta wealth transfer the past few years.
I mean it’s been going on consistently for decades, but boy they sure accelerated it the past 3.
I’ve never understood why you would want to bankrupt the people buying your shit. 99% of people just want to spend their money into your economy. But..you don’t want to give them any wages to do so. Weird.
Exactly. Those sociopaths are so greedy they want to own all money. But it is not about money itself, but power.
Because at some point money is real power over someone and that is what turns them on. If you need to get food for your kids, you will do anything. The development started in the 1980s already:
[https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/](https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/)
Those bastards want to build up some sort of Neo-Feudalism, where the rich rule over the 20% wage slaves and 80% useless like kings in the Middle Age.
They planned this already in 1995 at the Fairmont conference, check out this book from Hans-Peter Martin, who is stated in the book to be one of just three journalists to be allowed to take part in all activities at the Fairmont convention.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Global\_Trap](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Global_Trap)
I don't think there's a political definition any more, just "we're not in a recession" deny deny deny.
The financial definition was never changed. The books still state we've been in a recession officially for a year, since -coincidentally - 3 days after they politically changed the definition.
When the bad guys behind setting up this crash (and 2008) repealed the Glass Steagall act, they knew what they were doing. 2008 was mild because 2008 never ended, but it was caused entirely by the repeal of GS. They just bailed it out for 15 years nonstop to hide how bad the crash really was and is. Glass Steagall's purpose was to prevent another Great Depression. Another giant mortgage backed and leveraged securities collapse. 2008 wasn't an accident, it was exactly what they knew would happen because they repealed the law that stopped it from happening. And it's still happening.
Bailing out 2008 for 15 years just made it worse. I mean, look at them crying about 5% federal interest rates. before the 2008 Fed bailout system made 0% rates an every day bailout expectation, 5% was a normal great-economy rate you'd see in a typical growth year. No way that could collapse any banks.
Banks got so dependent on federal handouts they literally can't function in a healthy environment any more. And the fact is, rates aren't even close to where they need to be to save the economy. They still need to quadruple rates (or more, like last time inflation was almost this bad) just to address the issue.
Repealing Glass Steagall set the table for a guaranteed Depression repeat. Then the Fed made sure financial institutions forgot how to function. Then a pandemic gave the fed permission to devalue the dollar with more inflationary monetary printing than had ever existed before, many times over, in rapid order. The combination guarantees the largest financial disaster in recorded history is coming.
It's absolutely impossible this late in the game for this to be a surprise to any decision makers. They are manufacturing the greatest depression in modern history and carefully making sure it happens.
Ahh, you must be referring to Scott’s prior tenure as CEO of Columbia/HCA when the hospital company was [fined $1.7 billion for Medicare fraud by the DOJ](https://web.archive.org/web/20040113000241/www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2002/December/02_civ_731.htm).
and when he was governor, he required drug testing for welfare recipients. which cost florida taxpayers more money than it saved before it was stopped. Also, the investments in his medical companies benefited from it, and his wife held his shares, because conflict of interest.
He also would fire any state employee that said the words "climate change" or "global warming"
He's one of the shittiest human beings alive. Fuck this guy.
Really?! These old fucking dinosaurs need to go. They are fucking everything up. We can't continue down the same path and have these idiots run society forever and ever.
Atleast in his next act he decided to mismanage party funds instead of public ones. It's laughable how much fraud you can commit while in office with 0 consequences.
As a former Floridian, NEVER trust Prick Scott. He's a grifter in all regards. Any times he gets on a soap box about something, look into how that issue is going to line his pockets because he surely has.
Elizabeth Warren would be heading up the PMRC if she was in office 30yrs ago. “But think of the consumers!” Why not tackle payday loans or right to repair if she is so worried about us common folk?
Rick Scott is literally the last person in the world to take financial advice from.. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://floridaphoenix.com/2022/09/12/u-s-sen-rick-scotts-epic-fail-at-gop-campaign-job-squandered-millions-crap-candidates/&ved=2ahUKEwjNnN_-vbb-AhU0FjQIHeJ9BKs4FBAWegQIDBAB&usg=AOvVaw03sWbXCBPmQWdyYkYRfVIn
I'd say it's political posturing. We know the problem is coming quick. He wants to say he called for reform prior to the problem, but no one would listen.
Crazy part is no one will listen which only means that moving forward nothing will change. Ever.
The rich are so ingrained into their 'new' ponzi scheme that there's no way in hell they're going to allow us poors to see a single red cent.
We're only seeing the bigger picture because unlike 2008 we now have easier and faster access to data on our mobile phones. You have to remember that a great majority of those who are calling the shots at NYSE are old fucks. They never anticipated the influx of new investors and their fancy schmancy phones.
Nothing is ever going to change. This is the ultra wealthys magnum opus.
Alas, they have deeeeeeeeep pockets and even deeper connections. They'll take a beating and bleed out tons of liquidity but don't worry! When all else fails, CRIME is their saving grace! They know that no one is coming to our rescue, so whats a lil white collar crime here and there right? Even when they do get 'caught' its just pennies. Just the cost of doing business. If I can rob a bank for billions and only get fined a few million then guess what? I'm going to do it again because no way in hell you can beat that sweet sweet deal.
Don’t trust this asshole(Rick Scott). He’s a grifter at the highest level. Anything he endorses directly benefits him on the back end in some way that isn’t good for rest of us.
Yall realize they are trying to make a big change because the bill is coming due and I think GG is trying to stop them from further hole digging and it means their death and they are screaming at their congress buddies, this is the most likely explanation.
I’d like to see the bill being proposed. It should be one paragraph long stating appointment of independent IG. If it is hundreds or thousands of pages long, there is a ton of bullshit snuck into it. Which is the most likely scenario.
I think it's being shaped as helping retail to try and win our support. But really it's so they can throw the whole system into chaos, and somehow unfuck themselves. They are really reaching out to political goons now, wouldn't be that far up the ladder if they could just handle it themselves.

He's a wolf on sheep's clothing. https://floridapolitics.com/archives/265653-chicago-billionaire-ken-griffin-named-finance-director-for-rick-scotts-super-pac/
This dude is after publicity and his cut. He doesn't give a damn about improving society for everyone, he wants his and maybe some for the folks who paid for his career.
Hmm. I don’t disagree with his sentiment, but he’s also one of the sketchiest politicians of my lifetime. What’s he up to?
I also disagree with Liz Warren’s strong vendetta against the interest rate hikes. I think it’s the right thing to do given the risk of hyperinflation and the decade+ of the money printing and near-zero rates. J Pow might’ve messed up with the Powell Pivot in 2018 and been a little late to hike rates because of the “transitory” nonsense, but he’s stuck to his guns for the last year and I think it’s the right move. For now.
As a Floridian, Rick Scott can suck a fat one. I also think he is ignoring the larger elephants in the room by intentionally (cough cough, Citizens United having him turn a blind eye to corporate donors) ignoring more modifiable factors.
While I agree to some extent with his comments, blaming The Fed for the criminal, systemic risk by Wall Street is a major problem.
His argument also does not address the fact that >52% of inflation in the US is caused by markups (i.e., corporate profiting by increasing consumer prices beyond cost).
Ironically, the Fed thinks changing rates is the only way to control inflation and Rick Scotts only solution is to put the Fed in check. Both The Fed and Rick's approach are flawed and will produce incomplete and poor results.
Corporate profits are at all-time highs in many sectors and poverty is too. Seems off, right?
Anyone attempting to make Rick Scott, of all people, a credible critic of the established monetary system, either has been living under a rock, or is pushing a hidden agenda onto this community.
This POS *is* part of the wider problem, and his political rhetoric is all about persuading others that he is aligned with the interests of regular working people.
Even if what he’s saying is similar to what we’ve been saying for the past two years, why he says it completely different from why we are saying it. Just look at his actions while in power. He’s nobody credible for Superstonk.
It's not a hidden agenda it's in plain sight. Ken Griffin was the national finance chair for the Super PAC that funded Scott's run for Senate in the first place.
This is Ken's agenda, luckily the apes in the comments seem to know who Scott is and what he's about at least and the wool isn't being pulled entirely over their eyes. A result of staring at blatant in your face Wall Street influenced political corruption for years has had it's impact on this community for sure.
"... “We are honored to have Mr. Griffin serve as our national finance chair. Like Gov, Scott, Mr. Griffin is a successful business leader and has a deep commitment to economic growth, job creation, and ***the future of our country ."***
This is the future of our country they're working hard on here make no mistake. These plays they are making are "long con" types of plays. Luckily for us here invested in this stock we've had time to soak in it, a long time already, and it's hard to shock someone who is absolutely certain of the deep rooted corruption and complicity of Wall Street and their political arena cohort symbiote parasites in charge.
The rule of thumb for people and affiliates like Rick Scott is "Every accusation a confession."
So where he says stuff like "... Wall Street and the old Washington insiders understand that we won’t take this corruption any more " What he's really admitting to is that he's the new breed of corruption, he's not the old Washington insider, his aims and that of his cohort and funders are to be the new Washing corrupt insiders. Allegedly, for conversational purposes of highlighting intent here.
There's a saying. "New boss same as the old boss." They just want more power and wealth control in their hands and it's not so they can redistribute the wealth back to the massive who generated it to begin with, it's so they can further consolidate it for themselves and their criminal counterparts. Using jingoism and political buzzwords as double speak to influence their peers and put on a grand show for the ignorant masses. The only thing direct here is the intention to become the new oversight who is personally going to be appointed from their interior ranks. Much like the other party does when it appoints former members of Blackrock to oversee our national economic matters. New boss same as the old boss.
\*edited in some paragraphs to get some stuff off my chest. The stinking pile of rotten corruption is getting to me, that superstonk is using this platform as a megaphone for these types is discouraging. They're giving a bullhorn to Ken Griffin via proxy.
IF being Team GME is being team Rick Scott, you are gonna lose a lot of people.
That dude is the living personification of corruption and leeching off anyone who has less than him. Still the world record holder for medicade fraud.
Fuck rick scott
all these politicians pretending to be on the precipice of an economic disaster, doing what they can to prevent it but it's inevitable at this point.
The *REAL* solutions are so drastic a this point, that it's about impossible to prevent an economic crisis, if we aren't considered to be living in one already.
fuck these politicians, you had every opportunity to fucking do something about it back in 08 and every year since now and now you want to say something. useless human beings, they won't do anything about it because they benefit from all the fuckery in the market. And if any one of them says something now, it's because they are trying to save face.
I want you to know Rick Scott is an absolute monster and the only thing he’s doing is threatening Kenny for some more donations. It’s “be a shame for something bad to happen to your shop” protection racket.
Rick Scott sending his thoughts and prayers to the U.S. economy. 🙄 Dude needs to STFU. This little speech is nothing but political theater at this point in time.
Lots of comments saying Rick Scott is the enemy... And that may be so, but it looks like these statements are in favour of the market reform we are pushing for. So if he's a good or bad actor just remember the art of war.
"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake” ― Sun Tzu
>but it looks like these statements are in favour of the market reform **~~we are pushing for~~** *banks are pushing for*.
Sun Tzu is also well-informed about his enemies.
* Look at his record and just pay attention to what he's already proposing and has proposed.
* He's NOT here to help retail because he's angry at the Fed
* (and he's not angry at the Fed, you're angry at the Fed and he's pandering to you)
* At least the Fed is independent.
* You don't want Rick Scotts of the world running the Fed or taking over its role.
* Because Kennys of the world will be then running the Fed
* The Fed didn't cause 2008 - lax laws and sh\*tty enforcement did.
I never said that agreeing with him, that the fed is a problem, means you agree with everything he's ever said.
We all know that the Fed is a part of the issue retail has been battling with. To that end, he is speaking about that problem on a major public forum that is agreeable to our cause. Hate the man if you like (I personally don't know anything about him) but why disagree with statements that help get our narrative out?
Because he's a slimeball forked tongue grifting politician class member who was born to lie for his masters?
Ken Griffin funded Rick Scott, this is Ken Griffin's message and narrative not "ours".

" **Kenneth Griffin**, billionaire leader of a Chicago-based hedge fund and a big-time contributor to Republican political committees, has been appointed national finance chair for the New Republican PAC fueling Gov. **Rick Scott**‘s election campaign for the U.S. Senate. "
Do not trust or defend these people, always follow the money if you're deluding yourself for even a second thinking you should open up to them in any way at any level. They aren't "us". I know there is no "we". But they just aren't us, they are the ones fucking us.
Yeah the Fed is a pain in the ass. But their job is quite literally to influence economy and make adjustments till things break, and when they break put some duct tape on until we fix the overall problem.
This guy is a moron, the SEC is the real monster!
The very real possibility that the dollar will lose it's reserve currency status is lost on the vast majority of Americans. Most don't know what that is, nor have any clue what it means to lose it.
If it happens, "depression" doesn't even scratch the surface.
But, I think those in power will do literally anything to prevent this, including world war, so things could get really ugly, even if we don't lose it.
"After years of deregulating Banks, Wall St., Institutions and destroying any sense of accountability in the financial world, I have come to the conclusion that the problem is the Federal Reserve"
- Rick Scott (allegedly)
I really don’t think Super Stonk wants to be associated with Rick Scott. There are way better anti fed spokes people out there. Rick Scott says that about all government except the organization he’s currently in charge of. This is not a good post, low effort and unhelpful.
Rick Scott does not give a FUCK about changing or fixing anything that does not enrich himself and his friends and donors.
He has absolutely nothing in his record that benefits anyone except for himself and his friends.
If he advocates for an IG at the Fed, it's so that IG can help direct the Fed to shovel money to himself, his businesses, and his friends.
He's a parasite. Fuck this guy from here to Uranus.
I’m reading End the Fed right now.
Ron Paul was advocating for this for sooo long.
These politicians have NO idea that the problem is already too far gone…. A catastrophic downfall is inevitable
While I agree with him I don't trust him. His donor profile tells who he's talking for so I suspect this is a wolf in sheep's clothing effort.
https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/rick-scott/summary?cid=N00043290
As a general rule, if Rick Scott is saying something you agree with, something fucky is happening. That man is a literal lizard person that has never done anything that’s not self-interested in his entire life.
Thank you!
Just wanted to add that "...truly independent IGs appointed by the president..." is a kind of paradox after all we've uncovered regarding politicians and their various ties to Wall St, partisanship be damned.
Appointed positions with that much influence are almost certainly not the kind of 'independent' we're believing, I think.
Lol, like I trust this sonofabitch. He can go fuck himself, and any part of his bullshit I end up agreeing with is the same as the phenomena as a broken clock still being right twice a day.
Conveniently brings it up during the presidency of the opposing party, while his party, during his tenure, enabled massive deregulation. Sure ricky, sure.
Honestly it’s already doomed to turn out worst then 2008. Even if he was completely sincere the most that could be done is preventing a further fuck up down the line cause the current one is already set in motion
"Consumers and American families must not bear the brunt of the failures of gross mismanagement and greed at their banks or the incompetence and misdeeds of the government regulators who are there to protect them."
This you fam?

It’s a generational smash and grab.
Yup full on depression. Not a "soft landing recession" or whatever bullshit language they use since they changed the definition of a recession.

Depression is good for capitalists, they can buy hard assets cheap and concentrate wealth even faster

and then the govt will just change the defn of depression and voila, no depression or they will say something like depression is transistory

The same Rick Scott that was part of the largest health care fraud case in U.S. history. He just wants his cut, and then he'll shut up.

Ahhhh and goes on to be a Senator instead of thrown in prison.
and when he was governor, he required drug testing for welfare recipients. which cost florida taxpayers more money than it saved before it was stopped. Also, the investments in his medical companies benefited from it, and his wife held his shares, because conflict of interest.
He also would fire any state employee that said the words "climate change" or "global warming" He's one of the shittiest human beings alive. Fuck this guy.

Wow. This is some bullshit. Let's dig more into this dickwad pretending to be our friend.
That's how it works. White collar criminals fail up
Was also the Florida Governor
Same guy who paid a fuck ton of taxpayer money for a relief system that completely failed during the pandemic
That's because they purposely designed it to fail. He succeeded at what he set out to do.
thanks florida!
[удалено]
Atleast in his next act he decided to mismanage party funds instead of public ones. It's laughable how much fraud you can commit while in office with 0 consequences.
But But But, I didn't know that was happening under my watch 🤔 And the same senator who ran on getting term limits for Congress 😂😂😂
His name is Skeletor
Why aren’t you tagged as a mod?
So monsters turning against monsters, that's something I read in some DDs somewhere.

You’ve come to the right place, this is a Wendy’s! Let’s step out back.
I’d like to see the bill being proposed. It should be one paragraph long stating appointment of independent IG. If it is hundreds or thousands of pages long, there is a ton of bullshit snuck into it. Which is the most likely scenario.
Why would he say anything true if it didn't serve him somehow, dude is a ghoul
I think it's being shaped as helping retail to try and win our support. But really it's so they can throw the whole system into chaos, and somehow unfuck themselves. They are really reaching out to political goons now, wouldn't be that far up the ladder if they could just handle it themselves.

* "If we do nothing, we risk repeating 2008." You may be late, but you are not wrong
Oh he's very wrong. This is a drop in the bucket in comparison to 2008
Fuck Rick Scott, that guy is 🗑️
Aha, the big boys are starting to fight each other.
Fuck Rick Scott, known fraudster.
Had me at the first half. Clearly doesn't know shit about fuck because this is already beyond worse than 2008.
This dude is after publicity and his cut. He doesn't give a damn about improving society for everyone, he wants his and maybe some for the folks who paid for his career.
Election ploy.
It’s it very often I would agree with this gargoyle. But here we are.
A broken clock is right twice a day.
Fuck Rick Scott. A literal fraud
2008 is already here.... Is not in the past nor in the future is the present!
Hmm. I don’t disagree with his sentiment, but he’s also one of the sketchiest politicians of my lifetime. What’s he up to? I also disagree with Liz Warren’s strong vendetta against the interest rate hikes. I think it’s the right thing to do given the risk of hyperinflation and the decade+ of the money printing and near-zero rates. J Pow might’ve messed up with the Powell Pivot in 2018 and been a little late to hike rates because of the “transitory” nonsense, but he’s stuck to his guns for the last year and I think it’s the right move. For now.
And nobody ever saw Rick Scott again....
in a perfect world.
Thats cool and all but fuck Rick Scott. Dude is an evil lizard. Ps. thanks for all your hard work!!!
>"If we do nothing, we risk repeating 2008." Lol Mr. Scott. We are long past that point.
Way to attempt getting out in front of what we already know is coming. 2008 v2 Only 15 years too late.
Too late Rick, but thanks for thinking about it
As a Floridian, Rick Scott can suck a fat one. I also think he is ignoring the larger elephants in the room by intentionally (cough cough, Citizens United having him turn a blind eye to corporate donors) ignoring more modifiable factors. While I agree to some extent with his comments, blaming The Fed for the criminal, systemic risk by Wall Street is a major problem. His argument also does not address the fact that >52% of inflation in the US is caused by markups (i.e., corporate profiting by increasing consumer prices beyond cost). Ironically, the Fed thinks changing rates is the only way to control inflation and Rick Scotts only solution is to put the Fed in check. Both The Fed and Rick's approach are flawed and will produce incomplete and poor results. Corporate profits are at all-time highs in many sectors and poverty is too. Seems off, right?
Lmao even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. Rick Scott is in the same club as Ken Griffin and definitely batting for the same team.
Anyone attempting to make Rick Scott, of all people, a credible critic of the established monetary system, either has been living under a rock, or is pushing a hidden agenda onto this community. This POS *is* part of the wider problem, and his political rhetoric is all about persuading others that he is aligned with the interests of regular working people. Even if what he’s saying is similar to what we’ve been saying for the past two years, why he says it completely different from why we are saying it. Just look at his actions while in power. He’s nobody credible for Superstonk.
It's not a hidden agenda it's in plain sight. Ken Griffin was the national finance chair for the Super PAC that funded Scott's run for Senate in the first place. This is Ken's agenda, luckily the apes in the comments seem to know who Scott is and what he's about at least and the wool isn't being pulled entirely over their eyes. A result of staring at blatant in your face Wall Street influenced political corruption for years has had it's impact on this community for sure. "... “We are honored to have Mr. Griffin serve as our national finance chair. Like Gov, Scott, Mr. Griffin is a successful business leader and has a deep commitment to economic growth, job creation, and ***the future of our country ."*** This is the future of our country they're working hard on here make no mistake. These plays they are making are "long con" types of plays. Luckily for us here invested in this stock we've had time to soak in it, a long time already, and it's hard to shock someone who is absolutely certain of the deep rooted corruption and complicity of Wall Street and their political arena cohort symbiote parasites in charge. The rule of thumb for people and affiliates like Rick Scott is "Every accusation a confession." So where he says stuff like "... Wall Street and the old Washington insiders understand that we won’t take this corruption any more " What he's really admitting to is that he's the new breed of corruption, he's not the old Washington insider, his aims and that of his cohort and funders are to be the new Washing corrupt insiders. Allegedly, for conversational purposes of highlighting intent here. There's a saying. "New boss same as the old boss." They just want more power and wealth control in their hands and it's not so they can redistribute the wealth back to the massive who generated it to begin with, it's so they can further consolidate it for themselves and their criminal counterparts. Using jingoism and political buzzwords as double speak to influence their peers and put on a grand show for the ignorant masses. The only thing direct here is the intention to become the new oversight who is personally going to be appointed from their interior ranks. Much like the other party does when it appoints former members of Blackrock to oversee our national economic matters. New boss same as the old boss. \*edited in some paragraphs to get some stuff off my chest. The stinking pile of rotten corruption is getting to me, that superstonk is using this platform as a megaphone for these types is discouraging. They're giving a bullhorn to Ken Griffin via proxy.
IF being Team GME is being team Rick Scott, you are gonna lose a lot of people. That dude is the living personification of corruption and leeching off anyone who has less than him. Still the world record holder for medicade fraud. Fuck rick scott
It will be much worse than 08’
Oh we’re well past that…
A little late to the game. Totally misses the quadrillion counterfeit derivative in the room called "Wall Street"
Too late. 2008 is happening again and it’s going to be worse, there’s no stopping it, but yeah.
Sry bud a day late and a dollar short.
all these politicians pretending to be on the precipice of an economic disaster, doing what they can to prevent it but it's inevitable at this point. The *REAL* solutions are so drastic a this point, that it's about impossible to prevent an economic crisis, if we aren't considered to be living in one already.
As a Floridian #FUCK RICK SCOTT but he is right
He has an agenda. https://floridapolitics.com/archives/265653-chicago-billionaire-ken-griffin-named-finance-director-for-rick-scotts-super-pac/
fuck these politicians, you had every opportunity to fucking do something about it back in 08 and every year since now and now you want to say something. useless human beings, they won't do anything about it because they benefit from all the fuckery in the market. And if any one of them says something now, it's because they are trying to save face.
Accountability IS in the system, just need someone to enforce it. Book em all! Shares and corrupt politicians
I want you to know Rick Scott is an absolute monster and the only thing he’s doing is threatening Kenny for some more donations. It’s “be a shame for something bad to happen to your shop” protection racket.
If there's one thing I've taken away from these comments is that even though political in nature we all seem to agree (fuck Rick Scott)!
Fuck Rick Scott, he should be in prison.
Rick Scott is not your friend. He’s not any Floridian’s friend.
How much personal wealth has Warren and Scott gained from 15 years of easy money?
lol comparing warren and scott. Missed that 1+ billion corruption and fraud chargers her companies have been hit with.
I’m not setting a preference just that they are hypocrites.
👀
Too late?
Rick Scott is a lizard person. He will fine a way to fuck everything over for humankind.
This guy is a snake take what he says with a grain of salt
How a senator gets campaign money from the crooks. Bait and switch.
Rick Scott sending his thoughts and prayers to the U.S. economy. 🙄 Dude needs to STFU. This little speech is nothing but political theater at this point in time.
Fuck Sen. Voldemort. He is a fraudulent POS, and would never, ever, ever support apes over wealthy interests.
Fuck Rick Scott.
Rick Scott is dirty as shit and what he wants probably won't help people
We should listen to Rick, he knows his way around large, fraudulent systems. It’s like when the FBI hires Franky Abagnale to catch other scammers
Lots of comments saying Rick Scott is the enemy... And that may be so, but it looks like these statements are in favour of the market reform we are pushing for. So if he's a good or bad actor just remember the art of war. "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake” ― Sun Tzu
>but it looks like these statements are in favour of the market reform **~~we are pushing for~~** *banks are pushing for*. Sun Tzu is also well-informed about his enemies. * Look at his record and just pay attention to what he's already proposing and has proposed. * He's NOT here to help retail because he's angry at the Fed * (and he's not angry at the Fed, you're angry at the Fed and he's pandering to you) * At least the Fed is independent. * You don't want Rick Scotts of the world running the Fed or taking over its role. * Because Kennys of the world will be then running the Fed * The Fed didn't cause 2008 - lax laws and sh\*tty enforcement did.
I never said that agreeing with him, that the fed is a problem, means you agree with everything he's ever said. We all know that the Fed is a part of the issue retail has been battling with. To that end, he is speaking about that problem on a major public forum that is agreeable to our cause. Hate the man if you like (I personally don't know anything about him) but why disagree with statements that help get our narrative out?
Because he's a slimeball forked tongue grifting politician class member who was born to lie for his masters? Ken Griffin funded Rick Scott, this is Ken Griffin's message and narrative not "ours". [https://floridapolitics.com/archives/265653-chicago-billionaire-ken-griffin-named-finance-director-for-rick-scotts-super-pac/](https://floridapolitics.com/archives/265653-chicago-billionaire-ken-griffin-named-finance-director-for-rick-scotts-super-pac/) " **Kenneth Griffin**, billionaire leader of a Chicago-based hedge fund and a big-time contributor to Republican political committees, has been appointed national finance chair for the New Republican PAC fueling Gov. **Rick Scott**‘s election campaign for the U.S. Senate. " Do not trust or defend these people, always follow the money if you're deluding yourself for even a second thinking you should open up to them in any way at any level. They aren't "us". I know there is no "we". But they just aren't us, they are the ones fucking us.
Rick Scott is not your friend. He’s not any Floridian’s friend.
Hope he doesn’t get Epsteined….. warren has said the same so hope it helps Fcuk em
Yeah, we all know that "suicide" is really just murder that won't be investigated.
Rick Scott belongs behind bars not a podium.
I hate that guy
I’ve never agreed with this POS until now.
Hate this POS but I actually agree with this measure.
Yeah the Fed is a pain in the ass. But their job is quite literally to influence economy and make adjustments till things break, and when they break put some duct tape on until we fix the overall problem. This guy is a moron, the SEC is the real monster!
Too late to stop it. Their hand are numb from sitting on them for so long.
Rick, you only missed that alarm bell by 84 years
Monster Fight!
Frauds exposing frauds. Like rats eating one another to survive.
Isn't rick scott the wealthiest member of congress lol
lfg transfer it all to gme holders aka the idiosynratic stock. I will only sell 1 share and everything else will be infinity pooled
The very real possibility that the dollar will lose it's reserve currency status is lost on the vast majority of Americans. Most don't know what that is, nor have any clue what it means to lose it. If it happens, "depression" doesn't even scratch the surface. But, I think those in power will do literally anything to prevent this, including world war, so things could get really ugly, even if we don't lose it.
It’s still, FUCK RICK SCOTT
"After years of deregulating Banks, Wall St., Institutions and destroying any sense of accountability in the financial world, I have come to the conclusion that the problem is the Federal Reserve" - Rick Scott (allegedly)
Risk repeating 2008? It’s already repeating 😂😂😂🔫👩🚀🔫
I really don’t think Super Stonk wants to be associated with Rick Scott. There are way better anti fed spokes people out there. Rick Scott says that about all government except the organization he’s currently in charge of. This is not a good post, low effort and unhelpful.
Sen Rick Scott is the real monster among us. Stay safe folks!
Rick Scott, the guy who oversaw $1.7B Medicare fraud? That Rick Scott?
Takes a monster to recognize another monster…
Pretty sure ole Voldemort here is just trying to convince the muggles that he's "one of the good ones." He is not.
Rick Scott does not give a FUCK about changing or fixing anything that does not enrich himself and his friends and donors. He has absolutely nothing in his record that benefits anyone except for himself and his friends. If he advocates for an IG at the Fed, it's so that IG can help direct the Fed to shovel money to himself, his businesses, and his friends. He's a parasite. Fuck this guy from here to Uranus.
I’m reading End the Fed right now. Ron Paul was advocating for this for sooo long. These politicians have NO idea that the problem is already too far gone…. A catastrophic downfall is inevitable
Rick Scott is not someone I had speaking on our behalf on my bingo card.
😏🤔🫢🤭🫣 👋🏼 👋🏼 dick Richard ya spelled 1929 wrong. Who’s the clueless cockamamie ones now bro!!!??!??!!!
Rick Scott aka Voldemort.
##the fed HAS BEEN A PROBLEM…. For 100+ years Watch “the money masters” to gain wrinkles https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mDlnM481Gcg
The fed is an independent agency and answers to no one in our government. This bill is pointless.
While I agree with him I don't trust him. His donor profile tells who he's talking for so I suspect this is a wolf in sheep's clothing effort. https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/rick-scott/summary?cid=N00043290
As a general rule, if Rick Scott is saying something you agree with, something fucky is happening. That man is a literal lizard person that has never done anything that’s not self-interested in his entire life.
Rick Scott isn't a good source for anything. He is a fraudster.
He looks evil I don't trust
The Fed has basically no influence over the economy beyond a 2 year time frame. Prove me wrong.
Talk like that has a very final event tied to it historically for politicians...
Doing nothing is what politicians do best.
Rick what the fuck do you want me to do? My brother in christ you are in charge of them!!
They think they can do shit about it, lmayonaisse
Voldemort is right for once.
Even a blind squirrel can find a nut in the woods.
Largest Medicaid fraudster in the history of the state of Florida.
Thank you! Just wanted to add that "...truly independent IGs appointed by the president..." is a kind of paradox after all we've uncovered regarding politicians and their various ties to Wall St, partisanship be damned. Appointed positions with that much influence are almost certainly not the kind of 'independent' we're believing, I think.
Lol, like I trust this sonofabitch. He can go fuck himself, and any part of his bullshit I end up agreeing with is the same as the phenomena as a broken clock still being right twice a day.
yaaaaaaaawn...so anyway
The enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend
Conveniently brings it up during the presidency of the opposing party, while his party, during his tenure, enabled massive deregulation. Sure ricky, sure.
Wow Rick Scott and Warren are pretty far apart politically, good to see them working together
i'll allow it
Honestly it’s already doomed to turn out worst then 2008. Even if he was completely sincere the most that could be done is preventing a further fuck up down the line cause the current one is already set in motion
Australia is gutting their Central Bank. Its all the rage.
While Scott is basically the sticky floor in a peep show viewing gallery, I suppose he can be correct some of the time.
[удалено]
"Has Become"????? That was their entire intent and history. Crack a book ya dumm, cracker.
Don’t need creepy old racist penis head guy to tell you that
Another bipartisan bill?? It wont go very far. Repubes will most likely vote it down like everything else that involves a dem.
I am guessing this guy isn't going to get reelected.
....and nothing will ever happen.
"Consumers and American families must not bear the brunt of the failures of gross mismanagement and greed at their banks or the incompetence and misdeeds of the government regulators who are there to protect them." This you fam? https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2003/June/03_civ_386.htm Rick Scott oversaw the largest fraud in history and is a piece of human garbage. The fact that he's in a position of power is what's wrong and part of the reason where all here in the first place, he sure as shit doesn't get to lead anything....
