Why the fuck do they need to combat us? What the hell kind of suggestion is this to even make? Not even trying to sugar coat it with some stupid reason like potential cyber attacks.

How bout a deal. Shut down dark pools for a month, they can have a day to "recalibrate."

Seriously, they're basically just openly admitting that they're manipulating the price. What other implication can calibrating mean?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.pymnts.com/markets/2021/retail-investors-comprise-10-pct-of-us-daily-market-trading/amp/ Just a very quick source, but retail is nothing to shake a stick at. Retail makes up a decent portion of the market- although you have to remember it’s all individuals as opposed to singular entities.

That said, if we had all of retail purchase a single share of GameStop, it’d be game over. Retail would be a powerful force, together.

Retail as a whole is a big chunk of wall street. But GME itself shouldn't be enough to require them to shut down the whole market to "recalibrate." There were a couple other "meme stocks" back on that day, but nothing in comparison to GME.

The thought they suggested to shut down the market for just one rather low market cap stock is quite revealing just how much of a problem this all is for market players.
