The Moral Decline of Wall Street and Main Street
The Moral Decline of Wall Street and Main Street
The recent surge of unsettling clips from news and social media outlets paints a grim picture of the current state of affairs in the United States, particularly in California. This moral decline is not limited to the chaos on Main Street but extends to Wall Street as well. Analyzing the moral decline in both these sectors together provides insightful revelations about the impending collapse of our societal structures.
As a concerned American and a resident of California, attorney Omar Zambrano shares his perspective on this alarming trend. The first step to understanding this situation is to examine the cycles of moral hazard created by government central planners and authoritarians. The saying "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times" holds true in this context.
This cycle has been evident from the mid-1990s to 2020, with moral hazard escalating with each bailout, from the rescue of Long-Term Capital Management to the global financial crisis. The government and the Federal Reserve have consistently backed up the financial system, insinuating that they will ensure asset prices continue to rise. This has led to an increase in moral hazard within financial markets, which has seeped into Main Street and society as well.
The focus on financial assets over the real economy has created a distorted set of incentives, leading to an increase in risky behaviors, such as the "YOLO" (You Only Live Once) investment strategy.
The second step is to observe how this moral decay has manifested on Wall Street. The case of Bed Bath and Beyond serves as a prime example. The management team, aware of the company's impending bankruptcy, decided to sell a billion dollars worth of shares to retail investors. They created a narrative to defraud these investors out of their money, leading to a significant increase in the company's share price and profits for the management team and the involved hedge fund.
The moral decline on Wall Street and Main Street is a clear indication of the impending societal collapse. However, it's important to remember that this is a cyclical process. The hard times we are currently experiencing will eventually give rise to strong men who will create the next round of good times.
