@ariaflame @marijn
it always works out for them.
the question is if it works out for us.
we always pay the price, they never do.
if they succeed in creating something they own and we use (e.g. amazon, uber, airbnb, instagram...) we use it and pay for it with money or indirectly by them selling our data and we get ads.
if they dont succeed, prices rise and houses etc... become even more unaffordable.
they never have problems. they print to bail themselves out if needed.

@ariaflame @marijn thats what limited liability & offshore shadow banking is all about. But even without that. The ultrawealthy capitalist class can always take out loans to do whatever and refinance them with future even larger loans ad infinitum. ... they never actually have to repay anything like normal people do. its essentially the biggest scam/ponzi scheme of human history - thats capitalism in a nutshell
