Sell all your stocks losers

Ammonia factories in Germany shut down because of rising natural gas prices so Europe is going to take a hit and you'd be a fool if you thought similar wasn't going to happen here.

A crash is certain to come once knock-on effects of the rise in price of one commodity are now slamming another commodity. Ammonia factories will re-negotiate their contracts with a higher price, and every subsequent industrial process which requires ammonia will see its costs go up as well, and so on down the chain, until the raw materials have been processed into supplies for purchase with State Credits at your Communist Supply Depot of choice.

This is a domino falling because another domino has hit it. Chain reaction. It's only the beginning: everything that requires natural gas to create will rise in price.

So I sold all my stocks this morning. It's better to be out at the approximate top than to go for the high score and miss and end up with nothing.

The crash is inevitable, and the point at which it is clear that it has begun to happen is the point at which the crash is immanent. (And therefore, imminent.)

I am a dramaslur and this is not investment advice, it's a fantasy world where points in computers go boop and serious people pretend to understand the laws of equivalent exchange.

Poor Zoomers. They have no idea what's coming. They think they know what a crash is because of 2020. (The oldest Zoomers were 11 in 2008, so says Wikipedia.)

A crash casts a long shadow. Heck I could only see just how much damage the crash did to my pocketbook in retrospect.

There will not be jobs. For a long time. The jobs there will be will not pay well.

See the rich people are playing their own game on us, and the rounds are measured in economic crashes. Bell goes "bing" and we see whose positions are covered and who gets cast out of heck to join the commoners in wage slavery as human chattel. Then the banks were bailed out in 2008 and a fundamental property of the universe was broken.

Death was denied his due.

This was bad, and we knew it at the time.

It's like crossing the Avatar: at some point the eyes are going to glow and you are going to have it explained to you via gruesome example that you have violated the natural order of the universe and the degree to which you are powerless shall be made dramatically clear. Child learns the parent is stronger than it, and the child cannot defy the fundamental nature of this order.

This was of old the criticism of the Communist Ideology, not the joke one I inter into the tomb of capitalism to try and shake you from your pursuit of that spook, but the actual Communists who attempted to implement Communism: that it was as an act against the nature of the world, to define the reality perfectly by whim of man, when it is better to yet the universe keep track of how much a postage stamp should be. This is what was meant by Communist Godlessness, that because Communists had set themselves up to remake the state in their desired image, they had misunderstood God.

But we had the opportunity to be capitalists again, in 2020! And we blew it.

See when the corporate spirit runs out of mana you should let it die. It's occult theory 101. If you feed a nether spirit mana it will burn as a nether drake but this communistic necromancy keeping corporations alive is an affront to capitalism proper, not the ideology, but the theory itself.

But the Americans were materialist in their philosophy, and the in-the-earth-not-of-it Evangelical Christians regarded the corporate world as a thing to be endured as part of the apparatus of Caesar whose rule the Evangelical Christian welcomes. (It is the Catholics that understand that when heck is comprehended it must be opposed, so as to defend the holy name of God.)

So the spirits run rampant because most humans don't understand they'd best start believing in faerie tales, they're in one, and those that do see the wacky spirits get that this isn't the sort of thing that can be made clear to those without eyes to see.

But what's coming, Zoomers, is this:

A stock market crash means money, which is fictitious and sometimes vanishes, is less available to companies, who have to cut expenses dramatically, including staff. That's a lot of people who thought they could pay their mortgage and can't. So they sell their house, but the mass sell-off causes a correction in housing prices.

The banks might be better prepared to handle some of the debt they own turning bad than 2008. Crash might end then.

But when a crash hits, that's just the beginning, Zoomers.

There will not be jobs.

Many of you will end up at home. If you're not already there!

And you will look out at a world that does not need you.

And they will say the same things they told us about finding work.

But time will pass and the economy will slowly regrow, unless we really off ourselves. (Which we might, who knows.)

And your pocketbook will be forever scarred by the years you weren't making money. Just by being born at a specific point prior to an economic crash, you get wrecked pretty hard.

And you must look at your footsteps, and understand: you are on your way to where we were.

You are on your way to OWS.

And when you feel the call, I urge you to go. Or forever be one who walked away from the burden of a man. (Or woman.)

Don't be the person who talks about how protests don't matter on the Internet.

OWS did one thing, which lingers today. It created a general consensus that wealth inequality was a huge problem, and do not discount the great importance of that accomplishment in this age of polarization.

We are the 99%.

And we can sell our stocks just to beat the rich out the door, if we all sell now. Just to make them hurt. Just to bring death into the room like a gallivanting howling dog to gobble up the spirits we have summoned whose time it is to die. Let's have some capitalism for once, and not have so many say: true capitalism has never been tried.
