Hello 911? I'd like to report a killing. Yeah it looks like a massacre out here. There's 5 dead hedgefunds lying on the pavement and there's two more that have some serious injuries, they're in really bad shape. These guys need to get to the hospital.

I hear that when physical media was still more prominent back in the early 2010s or before, that GameStop knew what it was doing. That it could drive just as hard of a bargain for itself as Rick from Pawn Stars.

Customer: I got this good used game from my attic, it was worth $20 at one time, how about $10?
GameStop: Afraid I can't do that, I'm thinking more $1.
Customer: Ah hell, I guess I got no choice. Who else really going to give me anything for this? I'll part with it for $5.
GameStop: We'll only pay $2.
Customer: Fine, its a deal I guess, I wanted to quickly get some house cleaning done anyways.
GameStop: *Is able to resell that same game for $25 or more.

Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.

Of course, many bourgeois fit the stereotype and Wall Street's got some of the most parasitic of the parasites.

A slight bump in inflation considering how much the Feds are going to have to end up bailing some of the brokerages out. And a drop in the stock market. I think this is all hilarious myself.

It means the brokerage firms are running out of liquid assets, i.e., hard cash.

Liquid assets are assets that are easily obtainable and usually on hand. (Cash for example)

Non-Liquid assets are assets that aren't easily obtainable as they're usually sequestered away. (Stocks, bonds, etc...)

A liquidity crisis means that there's a lack of liquid assets to spend or trade with (Which means brokerages are running out of cash), that will then cause inflation to go up and the stock market as a whole to go down. (Because, you know, you kinda need money to buy and trade stocks and bonds)
