      The worst part is that the same politicians who claim to be champions of the "working class" are implementing policies that are inadvertently resulting in a larger transfer of wealth to the upper class... and the upper class aren't even asking for these handouts.
      - Suburban moms collecting $600/week in bonus unemployment because their side business has been impacted despite the fact that they've never earned $600/month (Completely legal)
      - Small businesses and their employees shut down while white-collar jobs are virtually unimpacted (Completely legal)
      - Restricting domestic/international air travel resulting in a surge of income for wealthy owners of vacation rental properties within driving distance of major cities. (Completely legal)
      - Allowing people who make very healthy six-figure salaries to withdraw up to $100k penalty free from their well-funded retirement accounts to be used in any way they wish. And if they pay it back in 3 years, there's no tax due! (Completely legal)

      Microsoft via Gates now has the patent for a crypto currency tattoo, which will be inserted as a chip.
      It will control your currency via your vaccination history and you might be potentially locked out.
      It is called the, "Trust Stamp".
      As vice president, Biden, happily stated that all Americans would get chipped at a Congressional hearing.
      A true patriot and government whistleblower, Snowden,
      had stated that they were going to insert undisclosed nanotechnology aka microscopic robots into the vaccines.
      Since the MRNA material was dissolving in the MRNA vaccines, they enveloped it with lipid nanotechnology.
      That is why it needs to be refrigerated at a much lower temperature than the J and J vaccines.
      The WHO is a UN organization.
      Since the Vatican warned the African Kenyans of the undisclosed sterilization chemicals

      the UN pressured ​the Vatican to liberalize their doctrine and the Vatican said NO

      Most people are broke because they don’t understand how money works and they lack the discipline to do what it takes to become wealthy. People want the latest iPhone, to go on vacation, and to have season tickets for their favorite team. If they had just invested the money from those three things starting in their twenties, they’d be wealthy in their fifties. But that would require discipline and a willingness to wait for the payout.

      Because of inflation. The problem is that most of the new money goes to the rich and not the regular people. That's why taxing the rich is important so they don't do this kind of gambling. 40% of all stocks are owned by the 1% and the top 10 percent have 90% of all stocks. When trump cut corporate taxes they used most of that money for stock buybacks thus increasing their wealth. Also, it was illegal to do stock buybacks until Reagan arrived.

Even without factoring this in, it's 2 to 5 times overpriced. Don't be fooled as to what's the average PE ratio over all years. It's 12, not 16. The inflated figures in recent years has a confounding basis.

    Get educated, study history, & learn the difference between currency & money.
    Schools do not teach this. The rich initiated schools so as to teach people to be good obedient, work related workers. The education system was not created to educate people in the true sense. These are documented facts. The population is even ignorant of this fact. They are sheep, being led by their noses and $$$. Sad but true.

      @jcllings you gave it away at 3).... the stock market has nothing to do with the real economy, and produces only price inflation and destruction, while NOT producing real investment - it's a speculative Instrument. Which is why we get into repeated trouble (bubble and 'irrational exuberance', followed eventually by 'crash and burn'), every few years. The only real investment that occurs there is when an IPO is offered and bought, and much of that is siphoned off into the early pre-flotation investor's pockets rather than actually being invested IN the company as real assets and material stocks.

      @Murari Kaushik
      It does have a bias, yes. But then again, I can't find anything inherently wrong or false with what it's saying.
      The financial marked is a huge get-rich-quick scheme. And not just that, it's inherently unstable as shown by the 2008 crash. A lot of what's going on is toxic assets being passed around like hot potatos while everyone's praying that the marked won't come crashing down while they're holding one.
      It's also true that major cites are increasingly become the objects of speculation rather than investment. Flats and stores are changing hands at huge sums as the owners are gambling that the prices will keep going up. And the unfortunate result is that ordinary middle class citizens are slowly being forced out of the city and into the suburbs - sometimes even further - because they simply cannot afford to live in the city any more. And what's left is a lot of empty property, serving no other purpose than to be sold and sold and sold again.
      And finally, it's also true that banks simply conjure money out of thin air when they want to issue a loan. And it's equally true that they'll only do so when they're sure of turning a profit from it, hence why it's so hard - sometimes even impossible - to borrow money if you need to buy a new house (because you've just been forced out of town) or if you want to start your own business. And that's doubly ironic since the banks don't seem to mind gambling with their money on a wide variety of toxic asset schemes...
      See how it's all interconnected?
      And so the final point also stands - there's something truly rotten in the financial sector. A few speculators have gotten extremely rich on these mad bets while the rest of us are struggling to make ends meet. And in the long run, that's going to destabilise society as the middle class is slowly sinking into the mud, becoming poorer and poorer while The One Percent is living the good life in their gated communities. And history quite clearly shows what happens when the inequality becomes too great...

      ALL nations take dollar ( fiat / imaginary ) money loans from World Banks controlled by the west. When the money is repaid the money becomes real - for the lender.
      The money produced by the local central banks, is only used to give loans, and write off loan waivers and expenses of corrupt local governments. Unlike the American empire, China never thrusts the yuan on unwilling nations to ensure its stability
      Unlike China, the money for new projects in third world are never produced by local central banks. That is why China is free, while Africa and India is enslaved to the dollar.
