    Oh yeah, those stocks are going to really help me pay for my grocery bill which has nearly doubled, or the massive increases in rent that just keep going up.

        Maybe people can’t afford stocks when wages are suppressed and they’re struggling to pay for rent and food. Maybe stocks shouldn’t exist when their only purpose is to extract wealth from the working class. 🤷‍♀️

            I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that wealthy parasites have been spending decades siphoning money away from the working class, suppression unions, and propagandizing working people against their interests. No, it’s because us poors choose to waste money on trying to stay alive instead of throwing it away by gambling it into the stock market. You nailed it, champ.

        Once again, how is that helping me with rent and grocery bills? Once I sell the stocks I don’t have them anymore, yet expenses keep on going up.
