It's 2008 all over again. The US/International shit show we call a media tried to make Occupy seem like lost-goalless hippies. It was the ghost of Nixson. You know why people were mad? All those executives at the highest levels committed fraud, perpetuated fraud, created a culture from top to bottom of fraud where people who issued loans were encourage to forge documents, make up incomes and sell people on terrible mortgages. Then the media blamed those people instead of the people who put that system into place.
None of those executives went to jail. None of them faced any real fines. None of them faced any real consequences. Many of them walked away with millions. PNC bought National City Bank for $5 billion and got a $5b tax credit (National City wasn't allowed any TARP funding). Big banks knew 2008 would happen, and when it did, they used it to buy all their competition at the expense of millions of Americans who lost their homes, retirement savings, etc.
It doesn't matter if it was Bush or Obama or Hillary or Trump, because no matter which puppet is on stage, no one in the 1% who either allowed such terrible things to happen or made them intentionally happen or profited from things that happened to have fallen into their laps; none of them face any real consequences. The executives who sold off Equifax shares getting off without any wrongdoing is a perfect example. It's obvious they knew. They made money and they will never and can never be held accountable in today's world because they control, to various levels, all the world leaders and banks.
