Key words, "like" and "hope". Two words not based in logic. Face it. The people who run this world are holding on by their fingertips the same as everyone else.
no, i'm not saying that they got together in a room and said lets crash the economy today

i think they kept figuring out ways to make them more money

and then eventually when they came up with a formula to make money on shady investments, they suppressed their morals and continued to make money

until the economy crashed. and then they had to take their millions of dollars and go home so the public wouldn't riot.

Seriously, check out Margin call. It's very factually based on what took place to cause the huge collapse of 2007-2008.

This. No way are your views fully formed until you ask yourself the ultimate questions.

What, like, the meaning of life? I've got that figured out already, there is no meaning, since we were created by coincidence.

I'm the master of the universe.

Or ultimate as in the last questions? No point waiting for them, I'll be dead before they're asked.

Can't have fully formed views on topics you aren't fully informed about which basically includes everything if you're still a teenager.
