I get why young people are getting conned this time, what I don't understand is why anyone over the age of 40 is getting conned again. Is it because they're too busy playing with their coloring books?
Or is it because Wall Street is profoundly corrupt. Investment advisors are recycled car salesmen. Economists are focused on their rear-view mirror. The media think that 2 + 2 = 5. And the Fed is totally clueless?

There is only one reason that banks would implode upon hearing of further rate hikes. If the rate hikes are imploding the economy.

Transports
Retail
And of course, home builders
It's no one's "job" to see this coming.
So they don't.
