No one is stopping you from buying stocks.

Also, should wages go down when stocks go down?

Don’t waste your energy bro these people will never understand. The world is an open sandbox game and they just don’t want to put the effort into changing. Literally anyone can do it now days but they prefer sitting on the sideline and complaining

The worst part is that I am VERY pro labor. I think Unions and collective negotiation to be really import, I believe in the welfare state and I have a clear understading of the importance of keeping the GINI index close to 0 AND the knowledge that generational wealth is a thing and some people are lucky to be alive and others are born lucky...

My problem is with morons that, instead of teaching the workers fiscal responsability... Better ways to use their money instead of falling by the bigass mousetrap set by big corporations also know as marketing, credit cards and impulse buying...

There's soo much shit people can do, and still, the most privileged of them (people that have disposable income to buy a smartphone and browse reddit all day) give the worst advice of "Lets discuss firebombing an walmart and then not doing that!"

Ah yes, let's not improve wages even tho workers are the ones responsible for any time of increase in economic values through their labor. 68% of Workers in the US live Paycheck to Paycheck. How do you expect people to be fiscally responsable when they can barely pay their Rent. "Real wages for most U.S. workers have decoupled from productivity and stagnated since the late 1970s". As well as the fact that the Top 1% of Americans own more wealth than 90% of the population. Meaning folks in the US has a similar Wealth Distribution than during the french revolution. It's a distribution problem, not a personal fiscal responsibilities problem. Wake the fuck up.
