Each of is going to work every day is the economy. It’s not the stock market.

If we stopped the economy, food wouldn’t be on shelves, electricity would stop coming out of outlets in your house, people would die of starvation, heat stroke, and frigid temperatures. The economy is a living thing, not some ivory tower fiction, and it’s how we survive as a society right now.

We need to change the way we do things, but blaming a nebulous economy is naive. We are the economy. Everything productive we do is the economy.

true. tho I wonder if it's physically, militarily possible.

Real Life Lore had an interesting take on the issue. Not sure how on the money the video is, but it would be a massacre to try to take it by force. It's always been (except for 2014 when Ukraine had no choice but to mostly give it up without a fight).
