Those upcoming stock buybacks are going to be dirt cheap

Yeah, everyone is ready to celebrate this, but they literally don't give a shit.

The billionaire class can afford to ride this shit out while the rest of us see our 401ks shredded. Coincides perfectly with one of them gutting social security so we can all work until we die like good little worker drones.

And while we're trying to pick up the pieces, they'll be buying up all of the underwater mortgages and buying low on any safe stocks that will inevitably bounce back.

Just like the pandemic where they faced some losses early on but then started making it back hand over fist by using "the new normal" to take the peasants for all we're worth.

At least one of these pieces of shit is going to come out the other side of this a trillionaire.

Edited for typo.
