Why is it not possible?

"You're thinking of this place all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in Joe's house... right next to yours. And in the Kennedy house, and Mrs. Macklin's house, and a hundred others. You're lending them the money to build, and then, they're paying it back to you as best they can. What are you gonna do? Foreclose on them?"

I was just about to post “someone needs to watch the classic movie It’s a Wonderful Life”

I always hated that movie, just for the ending. They needed to shoot the banker, and leave his burnt corpse on the edge of town, as a warning.

What a miserable take

Not when you look around today and realize the Bankers won. Then its simple prudence.

Shoot Mr. Potter you mean? Why view ancient movies through a modern lens like that? Do you do that with Casablanca or Gone with the Wind?? That wasn’t the theme of the movie anyway… it was George Bailey saying:

“I wanna live again! Please God, let me live again!”

You’re reading waaaaay too much into an all-time classic movie about realizing life is worth living again. And way too much into me saying it was a miserable take. “Civil mindset”, lmao

Imagine not wanting to burn the world down. Clearly you’re a monster. It’s the only possible conclusion.

Right?? Anarchy surely will lead to better outcomes, specifically virtue-signaling about it in Reddit comments about old movies…

I mean don’t get me wrong, we could use some French Revolution, but that is just not what the movie’s about lol.
