Just a few economy memes I've come across in the last 24 hours or so....

Oh no, healthcare, climate, infrastructure, and reduced bloated military spending??? When will this radical liberal nightmare END??????

Here's a good analysis of what's happening with gamestop shares. It's all pretty funny at the moment, but now the ruling class are freaking out and talking about stopping trading and new regulations so that when they gamble, they can't lose. All the usual suspects are weighing in. I think how this plays out will be very informative.

What kind of fucked up economic system allows greedy rich pos aholes to benefit from companies stocks going down or going bankrupt?!?!?!

Hedge Funds NUKED by Gamestop Short Squeeze

 

[mongo18]

Trades on gamestop and others were blocked today, effectively freezing out the retail traders and allowing the hedge funds to manipulate the market in after hours trading to bring the price back down a bit.
Now robinhood, the trading app that is owned by Citadel, which also owns Melvin Capital, one of the hedge funds that's been kneecapped, has begun force selling it's users GME shares "to mitigate the risk of market volatility" to it's users, effectively forcing the stock price back down, and screwing users out of a lot of money.

Then you have this douchebag:

Seriously. At what point is it revolution time?

 

[Luxman]

The stock market is a zero-sum game.
For every trade made on the stock market, there are people who make money and there are people who lose money.





WallStreetBets (WSB) founder on GameStop: There is no precedent for this

 

[mongo18]

After robinhood sold a bunch of GME stocks against the will of their owners, about 100 thousand people gave them a 1 star review in the play store. Google responded by deleting all of those reviews. Begun, the class war has.

I'm doing my part by no longer using chrome or google. That'll have em shaking in their boots! Still got gmail though, there's only so much I can do....

I'm thinking about getting super crazy and trying out edge and bing. THAT'S how fired up I am!

The depth and breadth of anti-socialism brainwashing and denialism in America continues to amaze.

Thom Hartmann: History Of American Oligarchy And How It ENDS

 

[mongo18]

Wow, another political historian says it was golden boy reagan who put the US on the path to the hole it's in now. Shocking.

I think it's pretty evident now that unrestrained capitalism and democracy can't coexist.

Unrestrained republicanism is more accurate.

Here's a more in-depth interview.
