Same geographical pattern
NYC has been fucking America up the ass for
400 years and getting paid for it.
Over and over and over, NYC builds up bubbles, gets rich, then pops the bubbles. NYC gets rich again from shorting the pop or extorting bailouts from the government, and the rest of us lose jobs and money and freedom and life.
Until recently the biggest example was Madman Lincoln's literal holocaust. He burned down 1/5 of the country and killed 1/5 of the people to preserve the share value of his NYC railroad baron bosses.
There are exceptions. Well, AS FUCKING ALWAYS there is exactly
one exception. FDR took over after Hoover had done the usual, and turned things around. FDR actually helped the rest of the country more than NYC.
The last three "events" are not exceptions. 9/11, TARP, Flu Coup, all have the same shape. In each case an "event" turned out to be mainly in NYC, and the rest of us lost everything to re-enrich NYC.
9/11 gave FBI and CIA massive new surveillance powers over everyone, and restricted travel for everyone.
TARP stole the houses and jobs and savings from millions of Americans to reward NYC with trillions and trillions. We never knew if there was an actual "event"; we just heard vague rumors that something threatened the Derivatives, so everyone needed to lose our jobs and houses and savings to preserve the Derivatives, WHICH WERE ILLEGAL FOR MOST OF HUMAN HISTORY.
Now the Flu Coup is an actual event, but it's an ordinary event, an epidemic that happens several times each year in one place or another. Because NYC seems to be handling the epidemic poorly, for reasons that we will never learn, the entire country must lose EVERYTHING. Jobs, food, freedom, life. We must all die to preserve NYC. The
real event, of course, is the inevitable pop of the giant bubble inflated since TARP. NYC couldn't think of a way to justify yet another repump, so the rebranded epidemic became the "event". As always
the repump goes along with a genocide to satisfy NYC's blood fetish.
Events that primarily affect America instead of NYC never cause genocides. Floods and tornados kill thousands in non-NYC places, and the Feds slowly and reluctantly offer little bits of help, but never require the WHOLE COUNTRY to lose its savings or jobs or freedom or life.
The Savings & Loan mess in 1990 was similar to 1929 and 2008, except that it happened in America instead of NYC. The bankers in Texas and Okla were forced to take their own losses, as they should, and many of them ended up in jail for fraud, as they should. Because NYC wasn't affected, justice was served.
