It’s all GameStop fuckery. It’s all about profit. I’m not talking about these silly day traders on YouTube but the hundreds of billions of dollars that can shift the economy. It’s disgusting. People get hurt either way.

Well, I brought up GameStop because it’s an example of the stock market not working as intended. I’m saying the stock market usually works as intended. And it is intended as a means of buying and selling companies, their assets, liabilities, and crucially, their employees.
You’re saying it usually does not function properly as a means of buying and selling control over companies? Because Musk bought his first big piece of Twitter on the stock market.

I’m sure you did. The stock market is nothing more than legal gambling.

It does not function to improve the economy.
What do you mean by “improve the economy”?
