    I’m reminded of Sankara’s words on debt collection: https://www.marxists.org/archive/sankara/1987/july/29.htm

    Debt cannot be repaid, first because if we don’t repay, lenders will not die. That is for sure. But if we repay, we are going to die. That is also for sure. Those who led us to indebtedness gambled as if in a casino. As long as they had gains, there was no debate. But now that they suffer losses, they demand repayment. And we talk about crisis. No, Mister President, they played, they lost, that’s the rule of the game, and life goes on.

    And as always I feel like I have to mention that Sankara had a much more approachable way of speaking in French, almost as if you were talking to a friend. In English it’s so verbose lol.

    Maybe Melvin invited the public to attempt to attack it due to seething to the media

    Other hedge funds on the other side of the trade would have made billions more
