You might think the "worst economy in history" wouldn't have near record profit margins, but you would be incorrect https://www.wsj.com/articles/should-you-borrow-to-the-hilt-and-put-it-all-into-stocks-11608134838

I love the implication at the end that capital should be able to find short-term no-risk high returns.

"Profit margins are close to record levels, making further gains difficult" is Marx chef kiss emoji
"lost skills because of the pandemic" is a hilarious way to phrase the attack on wages, which is depressing growth and boosting profits at the same time. Capital cracks me up man.
The problem with investing money is that you could lose it, whereas lowering wages means you keep the money. I am the big monopoly man with a top hat.
Anyway, good morning, happy Wednesday
