(10,789 posts)...the whole "banking is a con-game doomed to collapse", whether its run by the Jews or Bilderburg the Trilateral Commission or Wall Street or the 1% - whoever.
40 years and it hasn't collapsed, so I'm not getting too worked up anymore.
The one metric you could look at is standard of living, the basic economic health that the banking sector is supposed to foster. I can't say that my standard of living has changed greatly over the last 40 years, except perhaps by technological development, but it is a very good standard by global and historical measures. One thing that has changed is that literally billions in developing countries have risen from bare subsistence to a reasonable level of economic health. If the grand conspiracy controlling the money supply is careless enough to let that happen, then they aren't the big bad wolves we have been led to believe. If they are somehow a cause of net standard of living increases, then their own PR is accurate, and the OP is some heinous BS that would seek to undermine real progress.
