>Paul Singer is one of my least favorite of these types that I know of
it´s no wonder he is. It´s like you don´t only have to pay the consequences for doing your homework but having to pay those and a bigger price for doing things badly. Okay, Argentina´s way to deal with its economy may be flawed and somewhat unstable but damn, even with a deal in which you get a lot of money than the initial payment, you still beg for more (like a dominant animal wanting to eat all the prey without caring). Fuck that noise honestly.

>He gets ranted about some in the left and some attention i the mainstream but he never has a laser focus on him yet his stuff is so much worse. He is someone I try to sight to people I get into political conversations with. Even if somebody is far left and takes it as only something ultra corrupt crony capitalist do, it still plants a seed. Anyone who does serious research into what he does will be able to at least partially see how all this speculators, dark money billionaires, and government action all influence each other.
It may be more into /biz/ territory than conspiracies but like you are saying, all the movements, all the opinions created by media are symptoms of their background (and somber) inversions or financial bets.
Politics of today don´t depend on ideas, that´s what they want us to think and waste our time. The actual deal is this despite its innocent and careless cover. It doesn´t seem to influence on anything at first sight, when you dig a bit deeper, you notice that your country´s economy relies in the name of a few ones who you cannot vote nor decide about their power. The only way to make politics is....with your money, using the capitalist system everyday.
If you are trying to plant a seed, then you can feel proud of yourself for trying to enlighten a little bit the society and do your part as a citizen even if it feels useless (although there are results over time). Not many are used to this noticing dynamic and they forget that one of the reasons why WWII happened was because the American bank was in bankrupt. So we have to depend and rely on the Wall Street economists and...drive our future. Money (maybe gold) is by itself the power to decide and change the world...nothing else apparently.

>Spain's debt was and still is healthier then the other crisis countries such as Greece and Italy, and I've heard that your economy is healthier then most of th other so called "sick" countries in Europe, but that it was mostly from exports and it hadn't translated well into wages and what not. I'm not sure that exports will be good foundation with the rise of protectionism not that I'm free trade maniac and the exposure to the downturns of other countries.
We have not fully recovered, the average people have not noticed a better trend in their lives until 2014 or so and even then, it´s in a few spots (the medium class is a shadow of what it was).
While it´s true that we are placed in a better situation than Italy/Greece, our standards are looking at France or Germany considering that we are the 4th economy in the EU. The wages haven´t improved much and there is still a lot of fiscal pressure for paying taxes (very high). There are still intentions to upper more the taxes when we have been suffocated, making a temporal sacrifice and having to deal with the past mistakes in terms of decisions and systemic flaws. The payoff hasn´t come save in a few spots. The rural zones haven´t found its way to get back to the 2000s for the most part but the main city and the coast which have done their homework (with tourism and construction as always). The debt is mostly stable fortunately...for now, I hope.

>There what "normies" are suppose to think is high level deep corruption.
it isn´t that deep nor confidential. The actual deal comes from....anonymous speculators...yep. They don´t get as noticed and good luck at discovering those few people who decide over the rest.
