i'm learning along with you. I have no clue about global finance. I just know what feels right when I hear someone speak, which unfortunately lean to towards the conspiratorial side.

But I rationalize that by the argument that things are so fucked right now, there must be a conspiracy. If its not a conspiracy of insidious intent, there's a conspiracy of idiocy or a conspiracy of short sighted incompetence.
