The Reapers

What, exactly, is a hedge fund? Hedge funds are bubbles within a boom-and-bust economy, islands of concentrated unreality. Someone can usually live on borrowed time for a while.

Hedgers apply a multiplier to that. They go exponential on it. That is a hedge fund: three-dimensional racketeering, stereoscopic theft and postal exploitation. And it's risk-reduced and insured by us. 

The profits come from us. The hedge-fund people are grim reapers. They find value and extract it within a system that has been prejudiced in their favor over time. They are insulated.

It's a game to them, grim because many non-hedgers' lives are ruined as part of the game. The practitioners are insulated from any sense of involvement or responsibility or engagement. 

Borrowed time is stolen life. Vampires live like this. Human life doesn't matter among the hedgers, not with the pressure for profits. Vampires are envious. They want more of life than they are given.

The hedge-fund guys are financial vampires and will take whatever they can get from anywhere, no matter what the consequences are to anyone or even themselves, longer term.
