Right now nothing specifically but at the rate these banks are failing it looks like more rough economic times ahead be ready.


What does this mean for me the average Joe and also average black man?

I hardly watch the news so take this as an outside looking in.

I believe we are moving away from a consumer economy, no more getting the latest iphone every year. People will start owning things and keeping them for much longer. Like life before the 80s consumer boom. Just read an article today about how its becoming normal not to give gifts at certain events because of inflation and gift giving at some events is considered rude or distastefulness.

People are already waking up to how bad debt is and are starting to pay with cash.

So i think this is good for the black community, we might have a generation that values family and land ownership over all.

Yeah I wasn't worried about SVB and Signature but if Credit Suisse implodes that's gonna have a cascading effect on banks globally.

We survived the Great Recession and we will survive this but damn the bailouts is gonna be crazy and what it will mean for everyone is that most of the poor people will be poorer as more money goes into shoring up the banks and bad loans.

That's what I mean about the poor getting poorer. shyt will be like Japan everywhere tiny growth and everyone pulling back on spending, which leads to less jobs and those with money will demand better returns for their risk.

Did you ever stop to think how all of this made up stuff has real world effects?

Its all quite literally a figment of your imagination, if you stop and think about it.
Well Money itself is only worth what people agree that it's worth. the whole idea about banking is you allow people to hold your money and they immediately loan it out with the belief that it will be there when you need it.

shyt is like the Bailey Savings & Loan

Thats my point.

People are putting their faith in things that were never designed to empower them as they're just a clever mode of control that sells the illusion of freedom to people who are actually owned.
Well you can get goofy on this rather quickly we're typing this on a website that neither of us own someone is paying something for this.

To keep it a stack that only thing thta really matteres is that Antelope that you killed with spear for your dinner.

If some farmer or Con Agra agrees to take 5 dollars from you now for a hambuger on tuesday that's fake as shyt but it's the way the world works.

Everything is fine.
For now.

I don't expect the contagion to spread but It's making people demand more and better terms for their money. People will spend less and the economy will not grow at the same rate.

The reason why the unemployment rate is so low is because a lot of people were being paid to stay out of the job market through the COVID stimmy.
