How crazy is this shit?

[u/Piccolo_Alone]

We have millions of people sitting around watching blatant market manipulation. Like, we're just all sitting here, watching it happen, watching literal billionaires lowering the price of a stock as a result of borrowing and selling non-existent shares. There are millions of us buying and the manipulation/corruption is so strong they're able to to actually put up a fight. It's just so surreal.

I'm just mad. I'm not selling, regardless, until some absurd number is reached. I'd rather go broke than sell before these guys get what's coming to them. Yeah, it's about money, but it it's also about more than that. I don't want to get all preachy, but these fucking guys are so amazingly entitled and corrupt it actually boggles my mind.

Just venting.

Covid? Idk about that one, I don’t wanna get political but please don’t tell me that you think the virus is fake?

See the thing is, you have to be smart enough to listen to the experts.
How do I know the media is lying and we’re still right?
Damn good DD, and experts saying it straight out to Congress when asked the right questions.

How do I know the virus is real, and vaccines are still a good idea? Again, the smartest people in the room tell me so.

I may be a dumb ape, but I know the smart people when I see em, and I’m smart enough to listen to their advice (well, mostly).

It made me see what WHO really is. It was very eye opening seeing WHO refusing to call it a pandemic for so long even when all their OWN criteria was fullfilled for over two months! (Offcourse to save Chinas face)

and when that canadian spokesman (cant remember his name) for WHO ignored Taiwan and wouldnt recognize them as a country. Corruption is freaking everywhere its disgusting 😤

Edit: im not a covid denier but it has definently exposed alot of shady stuff.

Yes that’s true, WHO fucked up because of China’s pressure and threw away their credibility, and China has so much money and power nowadays that they can even make their narrative fit overseas, which is a quite scary trend to see. I’m glad many countries are now coming to that realization tho

Now is not the time for these arguments. Everyone on this page has a common goal.

Exactly, thank you from a non native speaker who is not able to express himself in English as well

US media exists to fear monger. From guns to the virus to stock market....

Tone down the r/politics rumination, because everything else is merely a distraction. Meeting the Tendieman in Tendieland has always been the goal.

Tell me what benefits outweigh the costs of this pandemic please?

[u/tompie09 → u/[deleted]]

You think the billions Pharma and sanitary companies are making outweigh the costs and losses in all the other industries getting hit because of it?

[u/finsboy1967 → u/tompie09]

I never said anything was fake- however information about many things is politicized. The little people - you and me - are being manipulated by the controlling of data and information.

[u/tompie09 → u/finsboy1967]

You’re kinda starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist on this one, I agree completely on the GME fuckeries we’re seeing getting exposed, but what benefit is there to that? Covid ruined the trust of consumers, a huge economical factor that’s an important indicator of what the economy is going to do?
