VC bros want a recession so they can buy everything for cheap. I'm sure they are very very happy right now. Pay attention to REITs.

They may get that in the short term, but also get higher taxes and a CFPB-on-steroids oversight agency over the next couple of election cycles.

  I feel like people haven't internalized that there may not be fair another presidential election. The SAFE Act is the most Orwellian bill that is highly likely to pass and would tremendously move things in Republican's favor

    I looked this up and it seems like something from 2008 about mortgages? Can you explain why this important?

      I wouldn't say it's important, I'm merey speculating on the likely outcomes of VC bros hitching their wagons to a specific political movement, and the public's demand for action after a financial crisis.

    > I feel like people haven't internalized that there may not be fair another presidential election. The degree of thumbing the scales has to outweigh unpopularity of the incumbent. High voter turnout will beat any attempts of deniable cheating. Which is why unpopular dictators end up imprisoning or disqualifying their opponents , and rather than subverting the voting process. America hasn't reached "desperate dictatorship" levels yet, nor will it be there in 4 years. Extrapolating from current events, congressional Republicans are barreling towards a midterm wipe-out.

      > The degree of thumbing the scales has to outweigh unpopularity of the incumbent. Absolutely delusiomal nonsense. Trump lost an election by nearly 10 million votes and still complained about fraud. If he's in power, he will stop at nothing to make sure this fraud thing is the law of the land. It will make Hunter's laptop seem quaint.
