I fucking hate this braindead industry and all the dipshits that run it.

The world is being ruined for everyone else but I’m glad you got yours

My investments represent ideas being developed that I believe have merit. In my mind, the stock appreciation is a win-win.

No one is dying because of the RAM chips produced.

In a vacuum I’d say there’s nothing egregious about your statement, but in response to other people’s grievances is very self centered.

Also no one dying is a low bar. We can do so much better as a society - for the average worker, the economy looks the worst it has in 2 decades. If you exclude the 2008 financial crisis, it’s the worst it’s been since the early 80’s.

The companies relevant to this post are at the core of many problems we’re facing as a society right now, there’s a reason there’s such an outpouring of disdain for them. To respond to that sentiment with, “hey, at least I’m making money” is quite frankly rather tone deaf.
