    I’m sorry. Are people actually confused about why? It’s all just personal enrichment. This isn’t complicated.

      Usually, if you want enrich yourself or your friends, you’d want to create a climate favorable to economic growth and skim little off the top of that using the usual corruption methods. You don’t want to start a multitude of trade or literal wars that threaten the global economy.

      If it wasn’t for Trump being the cause of this, you’d almost think this collapse is intentional…

        That’s how you do it until you start to bump against the limits of growth. When the growth is done, profits no longer matter as much as straight ownership of what remains, and it’s easier to take pieces if you smash it first.
