    say essentials workers like nurses and teachers dont show up for work (car mechanics, refinery workers etc … since those are the backbone of the economy) , the landlord wouldnt have an income but also if he had money he wouldn’t achieve anything with it given the basic services aren’t available, so his money would be worth jack $hit and that would be the collapse of society

      You’re implying rational thought. Before that happens the landlord will empty the property and put it up for sale, eventually becoming one of the homeless as well when no one can buy and the bank takes everything. Because the bank still has money even if everyone else doesn’t and it’s worthless. And your mortgage is due, motherf*cker.

        man banks (and the central bank) can have (and print) all the money they want but good luck finding someone to fix your yacht… and even abroad ur currency would have lost credibility and no one would be willing to accept ur freedom bank notes. but its also a fragile equilibrium between fucking ur society but not too much so the money u r making could still be credible…

        depends on which country maybe…but at some time even doctors efforts would be vain when everyone is living in tents and catching cold: u would have to prescribe antibiotics agressively and that would cause further damage to society…we are debating socialism at this point really (at least what i think it is)…(since u’r implying free medical care for instance)

            personnally i am not wishing otherwise really, but those pesky rich are aware of their wrongdoing: once they mess up everything, their private jets would be ready to fly them to their apocalypse bunkers, and we would be left by ourselves at that point. Also its sad that war exists: america pretending to support ukraine while buying russian uranium and renewing its war arsenal, benefiting both energy and weapon sectors that are making huge gains, while ukrainian soldiers (and europeans) are doing the heavy lifting ( getting killed ) ( sustaining cold winters without fuel or having to buy expensive american fuel which in retrospect would benefit…american business men ) europe is becoming like the U.S’s $hit umbrella against russia and china…
