it's not just that people are stupid
it's that the filthy rich hedge funds and corps that tried to short gamestop to death in the first place are nigh invincible
...especially when the SEC is asleep at the wheel and the only person they can think to investigate is DFV for some stupid fucking reason
yup
People don't care about it going down.
What's the primary issue, is that when they the hedge fund managers start loosing money, they can minuplate the market, and change the rules.
except it's just a classic pump and dump scheme we've all seen before. people are going to lose the shirt off their back from this stupid shit. the finance sector doesn't give two shits about GME. it's 1-3 hedge funds losings billions which is basically nothing compared to the flow of the finance sector. anyone who bought into GME in the last 3 weeks are going to be hurting in a month. quote me.
It's not a classic pump and dump. Primary issue with a Pump and Dump is that you have to prove that wallstreetbets were making misleading claims, or exaggerated ones to get people to buy.
They never did that. And then some of it goes both ways. if you saw the video I sent (legal eagles) it's not super clear
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
The democrats were actively pushing for 2000 dollar checks as their big issue in georgia even after it became obvious that a stimulus bill including 600 dollar checks was going to be passed, and I can bring up plenty of concrete examples of this. Did they campaign on completing out 2000 dollar checks over 2 or 3 months? No, they campaigned on the promise that they would immediately pass a bill sending $2000 checks out the door. They lied, and I'm sick and tired of neoliberal types making excuses for this bullshit cheating of the american people. People need that money.
I'm personally just sick of the two party system.
Like for example, democrats finally purpose a bill to raise minimum wage. Great!
But... it won't come into 2025? what, the actual fuck. That's too late too little.
15 is already too low. Our rent is about 40% of our wage (likely more)
So here's the democrats doing meh, but then you get the republican party shitting all over the damn floor with a identity crisis, since right now they are quite literately the party of lies. almost non of their stances are based on fact.
And even then, that meh the democrats are doing is leaking shit into their damn pants, since they lack a actual back bone. While republicans are just completely spineless.
Personally I'm just tired of seeing people settling between lesser of two evils. I hope people finally wake up and just vote with their conscious this time. Don't settle for a garbage or lesser garbage. settle with something that is actually pallet able.
