    He doesnt make that in actual money tho. Rich people’s value are vibes based egregors summoned through the stock market. So, in a similar vein, if the stock market crashes and never recovers, he loses most of his money. This is why I propose ripping down Wallstreet to starve the machine.

      You don’t want the stock market destroyed. That is how retirements are funded as well.

      You want to restrict ownership of an individual stock. Limit them to 5% or so. Also make every stock have 1 vote, no exceptions.

        Well, those suggestions would destroy the stock market. Nobody would ever register their company on the stock market if it meant giving up 95% of the control.

          Really which company do you have more than 1 vote per share or have more than 5%? Very few people are given either.

        Thus illustrating [one of] the ulterior motive[s] behind replacing pensions with 401(k)s.

          Pensions are funded by the stock market as well. Pension funds are some the largest landlords as well.

        No, the stock market needs to go. It is the primary vector of mass exploitation and binds us all to these immoral chains. It makes Mr and Mrs Greenbury down the street as complacent in Nestle’s filfthy acts as the CEOs themselves, because everyone is drooling for line go up, nothing else. Wealth chasing is the heroin addiction for Mother Terra, and we will chase this dragon until the world is charred.

          The stock market is how pensions are funded. That means the largest loss of wealth to the middle class.
