55. Not much doubt that the constant turmoil is by design....

....a technique perfected in Russia. No doubt thousands of ultra-wealthy folks love it and probably are in on the game - - hedge funders, short sellers, high-speed traders, et al.

By keeping the public and markets in a constant head spin, it makes an idiot look like a genius when they actually do something normal and rational and the deplorable base is thoroughly astounded.

Anytime I have a brain fart and think free market capitalism really is free, I promptly remind myself that those at the top have designed a system that insures they never lose. Unless they are absolute damned fools, they always win.
