You know…typically the only time rich people get punished is when they lose other rich people’s money. He’s losing everyone money. Lew Squeegee

Rich people will still come out even better after all of this. Tanking the economy will allow them to buy up more and more land, homes, and other assets that working class folks Will no longer be able to afford

Exactly. The housing allowed corporations and private equity to buy up so much "crashed property." And when things recovered they were well on their way to owning larger and larger percentages of the housing market. As a result, prices and rent goes up. Fewer new homes are built (because that would compete with their market for rentals) and we are all fucked.
