This must be what Biden was referring to, something that was going to happen soon after the election that would be upsetting to some people. He knew then that this was in the works. The end of Wall Street and the stock markets.

Is that why the Fed pumped $8 Trillion into the financial markets in loans, tax cuts, and guarantees over the last 2 years? Because the market was doing so well?

I should mention that I have spent some time discussing the possibility with Chris through Email that he should look into the theory of abiogenic petroleum as a major change in the economic future.
I didn't look at all of them but the first couple of crash courses were very interesting. Thanks for the links.

There are also some truths about economics, banking and money creation that are not teached in universities. Have you read "The creature from jekyll island"?

It was down by nearly twice as much just before Obama was elected so why are Republicans suddenly trying to read secret messages when the bear market continues doing what it had been doing for the last year? I swear some people only see what they want to see.
