Ponzi World (Over 3 Billion NOT Served)

The globalized economy is a colossal Ponzi Scheme in which the vast majority survive on the bread crumbs falling off the table. The possibility of 7 billion people achieving a consumption-oriented lifestyle is zero, so the World Bank conveniently set the poverty line at $1.25/day to legalize global slavery. As long as someone else's children are doing the suffering, it's "all good". Post-2008, this illusion was extended merely by plundering all future generations.

Short-covering muppets, Shanghai'd muppets, IPO muppets, Biotech muppets, Junk bond muppets, Apple muppets, Oil muppets, Commodity muppets, Emerging market muppets...

Hedge fund muppets:

Casino volume today is one third of normal, due to the Columbus Day holiday. And due to serial muppet slaying:

Skynet is getting lonely
Serial muppet slaying has taken a toll on liquidity:

Banana Republic liquidity:

Oil is tanking again, and low volume/volatility such as today's has preceded every turn lower.
