    No, I quite want another depression to hit just to watch stock traders jump off the Exchange’s roof again. Self-splattering is better than what I want to do to them by a country mile. If they won’t stop rifling our pockets, raiding our checking and savings accounts, and won’t bring down the cost of living of their own accord, they deadass deserve worse than what China’s landlords got.

      Sadly the stock broker jumpings are a popular myth. only three people committed suicide in the financial district and two were unrelated to the crash; as one was a German tourist who fell from his hotel balcony by accident and the other was an accounting clerk working in a brokerage office, but it has been reported that they had been overworked, delirious, and near total exhaustion for weeks leading up to the crash.

      A third jumper was related to the crash, but they jumped out of their lawyers 7th story office after losing their wholesale produce business equity and life’s savings in the crash.

      Ironically, the month of November had a lower then average suicide rate in general then what was forecasted. Sadly though, the coming months saw massive increases in the suicide rate for average working class people instead. Identical to what happened in 2008. Financial crashes only hurt the working class; as the rich know they’ll be taken care of. The poor are left to die in their stead.

      Maybe we can copy China and catch the jumpers in nets so we can then get the personal pleasure of beating them to death?
