But, consider it an "expert" opinion... as I've selected and bred "secret" bread yeast cultures for some of the top chefs in the world... as a hobby, when asked... and, have been a trusted analyst / evaluator of the qualities of products made by top wine yeast producers. But, also not HARD to find an alternate source... if you, too, were an expert... with the ability to read, and use a web browser ? You might try these... Roman bread & Panis Quadratus Food in the Roman World I note you've not posted ONE source that actually even tries to justify your error in the BELIEF in "and a miracle happens here"... that HAS to occur... when socialists run out of other people's money to spend ? For instance... see Silicon Valley Bank... "Confidence" is a tricky game... as it is obviously not possible to sustain it by threatening people into "trusting you"... as I expect we might learn on Tuesday... In the degree it "does" work at all... it only works as long as there is still "other people's money" to spend ? So, of course, I disagree with your posturing of the fraud in "capitalists" and "socialists" engaged in a deadly duel... when they are "the same team"... And, of course, that's why they'll have to persist in mischaracterizing "a libertarian nudist" as "a right wing Republican" ? You see the world from a single perspective... ensuring you can't see reality... And, you cling to your "only right way" to see the world... in spite of evidence in proofs of error ? That makes you... "a typical socialist"... myopically believing there is an endless supply of other peoples money... and that destroying those things responsible for creating it... won't matter. "No difference between communists, capitalists and kings... other than who gets to be king"... doesn't make all kings equally bad... but it still ensures they're all wrong ? "Other people's money"... doesn't live in their world, exclusively... and it is mostly NOT made in their world... rather than "taken" ? Maybe "takings" of small banks equity means nothing re large ones... ? Or... ??? It appears a "test" of theory is rapidly approaching... as it was in 1976-1979... Perhaps that, in itself, suggests "timelines" in which "functional resolution" is possible... ? Otherwise... go long banks and see how that works out, long term ? The market is a cruel judge of "correct perspectives"... as well as of "give and take" in the battles of the day ? So, let us know what your money is betting on that's got it held at risk, just now ? FWIW - I note that dispositions in the markets now suggest that Chinese "communists" appear to be betting on American "socialists" being not very good at socialism ? That being true, in some relative degree, doesn't convert "being right" into a good trade... when the entire system runs out of other peoples money ?
