724 billionaires in US, 0.0002% of the population, and it all went to them. As Jaime said, the plebs get screwed no matter which way interest rates go.

Energy and food are in fact what the 0.0002% have been hoovering up over the past 20 years. As a result, Australia is currently in the midst of an energy crisis because of this and a very cold winter. And what are the rich threatening to do? NOT generate power because it's unprofitable. Who cares if a few old ladies freeze to death.

As the stock market tanks and the rich are moving into "commodities" AKA food, their maleficence is starting to look mighty real.
