    Up to a point yes. However, if the majority of your ‘wealth’ is not liquid and bound up in a stockmarket that no longer exists, you’re going to have a hard time leveraging it. Similarly, what liquid wealth you have is only as valuable as the form it takes. Your dollar bills in a hyper-inflationary scenario is going to have more values as toilet paper than as a means of exchange, and your gold is no good if there are no one around willing to exchange anything for it. You can eat gold, but the nutritional value is somewhat dubious.

      Quit licking boots. You think banks will stop loaning money to musk if Tesla stock crashed? Trump has been bankrupt multiple times, it’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

        Watch who you’re calling a bootlicker. You talking to a guy who’ve never taken a loan, made use of credit or had an insurance policy. And I dare say banks will stop loaning money to Musk when they have no fucking money.

            I think bootlicking is bowing down to the (unreasonable, amoral or unethical) demands of someone who considers themselves the master or owner of other people whether that’s you or someone else, and that this can take many forms and have many motivations, precisely none of which are acceptable or excusable. I cannot think of a single form of it that has been characteristic of my life, and so I’d kindly ask you to use that term for someone who deserves it instead of me. I suggest the nearest MAGA adherent or Russian. Thanks.
