One wonders why more Argentines don't take money off shore or use bitcoin, because although the politicians keep saying "this time is different", it really isn't.

One wonders why more Americans/Germans/Brits/insert Western country here don't do the same. Everyone the world over is being fed the same lies - "this time it's different", "we're all in this together", "working for you", "make us great again", blah blah blah. And every time the politicians get more corrupt, the banks consolidate more control, the rich get richer, and the average people suffer. The economy tanks and the banks and billionaires use it as an opportunity to buy up more assets cheaply, while large portions of society struggle to keep up with their bills or feed their children. Who cares about the poor dying though, right? Think about the profits!

He made the mistake of trying to upset the rest of the established power structure, and someone was sufficiently pissed to have him murdered.

At least back then they went to the effort of making it look like it was a Soviet defector who did it. Now they can just openly murder people like Epstein in his cell and nobody can touch them.

Agreed. Everyone should be doing it, just some people have a little more urgency.
