Crypto v. Pandemic v. GameStop v. Capitalism

What is the "shareholder class"? I know plenty of middle class who are happy about their 401K's. If Amazon and Walmart stock tanked as the writer opines, many more folks would be in dire straits today.

I would define it as those who live off their investments as opposed to those who are hoping to do so in the future.

Don’t we ALL inevitably live off of our investments? Whether that’s our forced investment in social security, or a 401k, or IRA or annuity of some sort? And almost ALL those investments depend on the positive performance of the market he so gleefully hopes collapses.

Interesting how it’s blame government first and then the pandemic.

...governments don't spread pandemics, people do

Hopefully we get Batman and not Joker out of this.

So if I'm retired I'm now a member of the shareholder class?

If thats what you're living on, I guess so. feel free to make up your own definition.

I didn't use the term. Why would I need to define it?

Airport, last week, it was pretty quiet. Walked straight through security for the first time in about 40 years, plane was maybe a third full. it was great

Well, that’s because you live in a lockdown state. I just flew to Phoenix Sky Harbor from San Antonio and both planes and both airports were PACKED. It felt like the old days.

Charlotte to Nashville, dipshit.

hopefully - it also depends on Congress keeping their thieving hands off of our social security

Most of the money in social security is currently allocated to privileged white people and needs to be reallocated to make up for past inequities and oppression. Same with police, fire, construction and similar union pensions. Sorry.
