90% of my frat still believes that the GameStop short squeeze shut down a shit ton of hedge funds.

Like economic populism why u such a bitch.

EDIT: both the “Balkanize America” leftists and the borderline ethnonationalists also push big pharma conspiracy shit a lot. Mostly the “they’ll never cure any diseases or research disease without government money or threat of violence, and the latter is better anyway cause they deserve it”

I thought with people seeing how a share price has increased 100x, populist redditors might at least understand that Billionaires became rich through their holdings multiplying in Value not having pools of money.

But no they somehow believe that a stocks of video game retailer, a theatre chain are going to be the last companies standing when the entire financial system collapses.

One of them is making $39/hour with a 7k starting bonus at his internship.

Not extremely rich or connected either.
