    You were in a financial cult built around a dying retailer led by a man who tweets poop emojis. Congratulations on getting out.

      Well, while there may be some truth to that, the unadulterated larger truth of the matter is that the world-wide Wall Street network and regime is - without a fucking doubt - a far bigger and more powerful cult with mantras of “greed is good!” and “pull yourself up by your bootstraps, kiddo!”

      The amount of power and money and propaganda associated with the Wall Street regime and network is more than any other in the entire history of humankind.

      That you mock and ~chastise people who are working against (which is, again, the larger truth of the matter) is telling of your basic character and education… and quite disappointing. My guess is your grandparents would be ashamed of your behaviour.

        The sheer fact of the matter is that the larger Wall Street network is undoubtedly corrupted and there are loopholes among loopholes among loopholes made possible through both lobbying power and sheer human imperfection in crafting regulation.

        That which is the GameStop shareholder collective, as it were, have educated many of themselves and others during the process. One such educational aspect being: if someone holds shares/stocks with a broker, they - unequivocally - do not actually own those shares. As such, those shares can and. very, very, very likely are and will be used in such a fashion as to, ostensibly, siphon wealth from holders in convoluted and, even, simple functions of the market.
