Money printing didnt stop all the small businesses from closing down, its very easy to see the upward transfer of wealth that occured during the pandemic, it was the largest in history.



>> The largest in history

When do you think history started?


5000 years ago when jesus buried the dinosaur bones. Can you name a larger upward transfer of wealth?


Let me see: The Great Recession in the 40s including hyperinflation in various countries. The settling of the American West. The colonisation of India. The Opium Wars. That list quite long actuallx. But of course everything we experuenced ourselves is worse than anything else that ever happened, right?


I dont think any of those would qualify as an upward transfer of wealth at a magnitude close to the response to covid, but at least you pointed out some really mean stuff thats happened, same same?
