4th and Niner Intervention Needed
I’m pretty apolitical and capitalist but this GME stuff has got me going
Having been a free market capitalist my whole life who has laughed at Occupy Wall Streeters and others like them, seeing the system laid bare before us have been disenchanting.

The fact that these hedge funds can short stocks that don’t even exist is disgusting.

That they can take a company and run it into the ground for the benefit is disgusting.

That they control the news outlets like CNBC, MSNBC, Yahoo Finance, etc. is disgusting.

That brokerages are preventing their customers from buying and selling certain stocks “for their benefit” is disgusting.

That retail investors are being blamed and vilified for playing the exact same game that all these hedge funds have played and got fat off of for decades is disgusting.

Initially I was in it for the money, but it’s become a little more personal. And I’m going to smile extra wide as I deposit their money into my bank account.
