You don’t need to look very far to know modern society has gotten piggishly fat and decadent.
We’ve become caricatures of spendthrifts and booze-hounds tripping over each other in grandiloquent manners to disgrace ourselves.
The signs of late stage narcissism and carelessness are everywhere.
How long do you think this can last?

And you think this makes you better?
When the Fed stops jerking off the markets dick — what will become of us?
While you sit there enjoying that fresh glass of chardonnay, some middle earth’d pleb is in an Amazon slave cage factory loading boxes onto the heads of his peers.
We keep borrowing because there aren’t any negative ramifications.
And then you wonder why we’re at record highs.
Best.economy.ever!
thank-you for pounding that into my head. now what do we do about it?
We do nothing and buy stocks until they stop going up.
Another sign of moral decay:
Hundreds of teens overwhelm East Little Creek businesses
Police said 200 teenagers on East Little Creek Road prompted multiple disturbance calls on Sunday night…
“I mean, they were swarming, 30 to 40 forty people at a time, just going in and taking handfuls of stuff, bum-rushing the doors. It was pretty crazy,” said Pumphrey.

Add to all that, the criminals at SBUX are incentivizing the CEO with a $50 millsky payday if SBUX stock performance beats 80% of other stocks in the S&P over a 3 year period, as if his current $16 mill yearly payday wasn’t enough for him to do his best.
A good honest public dollar figure. As a pioneer in options self-granting and buybacks, it is nice to see the formally lactating-with-empathy, “chief coffee roaster” come out.
It’s because moral hazard has been completely thrown out the window. There’s absolutely no consequences anymore.
That state-of-affairs started as a trend in the prior decade.
Which I started espousing then [prior decade].

Gentlemen, gentlemen. Everyone please get hold of yourself. If I want doom porn, I’m perfectly capable of looking up Zerohedge. Jeez give me a fucking break, everyone is acting like they never heard of Caligula or something. Can we please return to being men of honour at this site? Thank you, good evening and carry on.
My God if you clowns had your way we’d be back on the gold standard.
Here’s the bottom-line–this will end badly but it will be many years before the powers that be literally run out of ways to kick the can down the road. In the meantime, enjoy the tremendous equity gains that are to be had.
