Nobody's coming to rescue you.

Wall Street in 2008? They obliterated the global financial system. What did they get? A $700 billion rescue package. Approved instantly.

Then the mortgage giants tanked hard. Another $200+ billion in government backstop? Naturally approved.

The Federal Reserve, working behind the scenes, kept pumping out emergency lending and setting up special facilities. The wealthy got wrapped in a safety net. The regular person? Left holding the bag.

The pattern is brutal and predictable. System breaks → money flows upward → society foots the bill. Meanwhile, anyone outside the inner circle learns a harsh truth: there's no emergency fund waiting for you when things fall apart. The system protects itself first, everyone else fends for themselves.
