It is a cute moment – a photogenic moment where a multimillionaire can hold up a red box and bribe you with a bit of your money, while they and all the other multimillionaires bankrupt the government with monetary and fiscal stimulus packages that seem somehow to always end up in their own pockets. They then use that money to buy assets such as all the houses that your children will need but never be able to afford to own.

And the traders, traders like me, we sit in skyscrapers and we laugh. Because we know that Jeremy Hunt and Rishi Sunak, who are multimillionaires just like we are, will never tax us. We know that we will get richer and you will get poorer, and our lives will get better, and yours will get worse year after year after year. And each of us are paid millions of pounds every year to bet on it. To bet on it, instead of telling you.

Not new in my opinion. This POS article has no substance. He’s spent a whole opinion piece, and perhaps a book, to communicate one sentence: “I’m a millionaire moron and you will get poorer”.

What’s new to me is that the way of thinking among traders is moronic-er than I imagined.
