One of those, by the way, was JP Morgan.
But that's a real bank.
Yep, but they're involved in the shadow banking shit.
So they are exposed to when they're like fucking $700 million loan to like a fucking, actually wait, which one was the $700 million?
I think a $700 million loan that went under was the one that was to a subprime auto loan company.
Well, because the FDIC is insuring it.
So, Molly, this is the point where we need to bring debt the first 5,000 years back into this and emphasize the extent to which the financial class has always been deeply connected to the military and why it's always been deeply connected to war financing.
It's all very bad.
And this is to some extent why... Part of what right-wing conspiracism about the financial system is...
Is that, like, these people are, like, the right-wingers, like, these people are, there's, like, a baseline level of anti-Semitism, like, in the U.S., right?
Because it is a Christian society that is just, like, what fucking happens there.
And these people are, like, okay, we can channel all of the anger at, like, oh my god, my fucking house got stolen by the bank because they were betting on the mortgage to fail.
I still don't understand why that's legal.
Yeah, what all these right-wing conspirators do is they look at that shit and they go, oh, well, it was the Jews.
And it's like, no, like, fuck off.
Like, these are all... No, it was the banks.
Yeah, and the other thing, and this is actually a really important thing that's not well understood here, is that, like, the actual people who run these fucking banks and the people who work at them are all fucking white Christian dipshits.
This is, like, a really, like, persistent issue that everyone fucking has, which is that, like, one of the great successes of anti-Semitism was, like, creating the image of the banker as a Jewish person.
And no, they're not.
