North Korea and South Korea are acting like they're gonna go to war, bombing each other and shit. Hopefully we'll have a real war now, instead of these contrived wars that our white pig elitist slave owners wage against poor brown people so our corporations can rape the Earth.

My hedge fund is gonna make $10,000,000,000.25 when North Korea premieres their new jet, sold to them by the Russians, made in Mexico, engineered by Boeing.

A layed-off Boeing employee makes almost 600 dollars a week. My state is fucking shit.

I have a friend who works for Boeing. She does logistics or something. I guess she hasn't been lucky enough to get laid off yet.
If you want to get rich, you need to get into market derivatives. I have a portfolio set up where the more people on Earth starve, the more money I make. I'm kidding of course, but these types of things are real. I'm too lazy to look up the news story, but there were some types of investments where people basically bet on starvation in Africa, then made it happen via the market.

I was under the impression that the market has always worked like that. I don't doubt there is a direct way to bet on starvation. People already deal with commodities like food crops and livestock, I'm sure there is a bet you can place against yourself for some insurance.

Yeah, that's more realistic.
Here's an opinion article on the subject. If someone wants something better they'll have to gewgle. http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/johann-hari/johann-hari-how-goldman-gambled-on-starvation-2016088.html

I wonder what kind of slap on the wrist Goldman-Sachs will get for helping orchestrate our economic collapse?
A couple millionaires do 6 months in a white collar prison while the guy without a dollar to his name serves a year and a day for a weed plant.

I doubt either Goldman Sachs or Monsanto will get any slaps on any of their wrists. It's basically as if they are the government. The government exists solely for them.
