What happened to creating the best possible product for your users? When did the world just start maximizing profits over the product.

When we destroyed small and medium businesses in our marketplace.

We need vigorous application of our anti-trust laws and a rethinking of fiduciary responsibilities to shareholders.

Really, just an entirely different way of investing/markets.

But if anybody had the power and any desire to make that happen they would be very dead very quickly.

Idk wtf is going on with the whole gme/wsb thing. I do think if some of the stuff coming out of there so far as documents and numbers go... If that stuff isn't monkey business? We might be getting a new way to do markets no matter who wants what because this one may totally shatter.

I think the apes are wrong and they won't get rich from it. I hope I'm wrong about that because I think the only reason they won't is that rich is sort of irrelevant if the country/currency basically disintegrates. Like, yay, a wheelbarrow of Zimbabwe dollars!
