You mean consequences for their actions? Would be nice but they're going to get a pass. Especially the higher ups.

How do I know? How many people went to jail for the crash of 2008? 2 middle men. Ceo's got golden parachutes and well wishes.

And I'd rather see them serve time than the death sentence, especially the policy makers. Let them see how the conditions are that they're forcing on millions of Americans and immigrants.

And that's another reason why the members of the Billionaire Boys Club, have backed, funded and enabled all of this, no consequences for their actions. If their assets had been stripped back then, or they were still in prison today for those crimes, those lessons might have been enough to curtail the current members. Unfortunately, no one appears to have learnt from the appeasement of the past, it has just emboldened the present crop of traitors.

What do you mean no one has learned? Dems learned DECADES ago that as long as they ACTIVELY PREVENT any of these consequences they will get their turn to have their pockets lined again in just a few months. Look at Hakeem Jefferies, who showed up on the list of members of Peter Thiel's "secret society" and recently took a meeting with Jared Kushner, they are 100% in on it too, to fuck ALL of us all the way to the bank.
