Don’t worry, the people responsible in 2008 were held accountable. They also didn’t profit massively off the economic collapse. Frodo also got the ring to Mordor. He had some help, but the ring was ultimately destroyed.
In the years that followed, hundreds of bankers and rating agency executives went to jail. The SEC was completely overhauled, and Congress had no choice but to break up the big banks and regulate the mortgage and derivatives industries.
Just kidding. Banks took the money the American people gave them, and they used it to pay themselves huge bonuses, and lobby the Congress to kill big reform. And then they blamed immigrants and poor people, and this time even teachers.
I thought his biggest failure was his raining hellfire on whistleblowers, kids protesting, and immigrants, but I’m willing to debate this. The real sting is that we had such high hopes and we got …that, instead, and then Biden after. I was so happy when Obama was elected the first time.
Buckle up kids. It’s gonna be a fun ride.
2008 calling? 📞 ✨
2008 will be a nice memory compared to what’s coming

Who was held responsible? That was a big joke.
My favorite quote from The Big Short:
Obama’s biggest failures are not going after these fuckers and the W war criminals

Dr. Burry! If the investors withdraw, what’s gonna happen here? Are we done?
Honestly, I don’t know! The… the… The bonds aren’t going down! They won’t move! It’s possible that we are in a completely fraudulent system.
Or… you’re, you’re wrong.
Sure! It’s possible, I just don’t know how!
You’ll never guess Burry’s current companies he’s shorting lol
So true, and God damn so effective.
One part of that is just a story. As for the other part: I’m glad Frodo made it with help from his friends.
