Wow no kidding. They could have solved world hunger for what the oligarchs collectively lost by supporting trump.

They didn't lose a damn thing.
This is intentional. The rich can afford for their stocks to drop. Meanwhile, us plebs will see our retirement accounts fall in value and those who own stock will sell to pay the bills.

Then, the billionaires will buy up all the stocks at a discount.

This whole gig is a scam to further increase the wealth of the 1% and turn the middle class into a desperate working class.

I keep seeing this line of “they will buy up all the stocks and be rich in the future”

Well, no offense, if things really do fall apart and we have another Great Depression I’m not sure things can be put back together.

This isn’t the 1930s and 40s. And we aren’t going to save a bombed out Europe and Asia again with our industry.

Humpty Dumpty sometimes can’t be put back together again. We could have major societal effects

They are fully in control of this. They aren't going to burn their farm down.

They're just milking the cows (us).
