Beating them at their own game like this, costing them billions of dollars, is one of the funniest things anyone could ever do – even if the government is just going to tax you with inflation to get them all their money back.

The fed will write a blank check to wall street, and then the SEC will investigate and find us "commoners" can't be trusted with our money.

Congress will make at least 3 laws that prohibit trading by "non-professionals", prohibit talking about trades with a "non-professional" and prohibiting anyone owning a gun from trading - or some bullshit like that.

This will effectively kill any trading websites as they currently are, cause fees for trades to skyrocket (who doesn't want that? LOL) add a tax for trades (what government really wants) and stabs everyone in the back based on buying some imaginary paper.

While this little stunt feels good and is hilarious to watch, it will bite us hard in the aftermath.

And think of how many it could redpill. Worth it in my opinion.

assuming anyone will even keep using this shit? Trading accounts are abysmal in new numbers, and most millenials dont have the cash to sprinkle into brokerage accounts, so these laws will fuck them over even more

It won't redpill that many.

The news is obviously skewing the reporting, making it sound like "hackers" are fucking with people's 401ks, making reddit out to be the bad guys in the minds of normies.

When the new laws come out to punish common investors (and online trading sites) the normies will cheer for their money, not knowing that their money is still being fucked with, and now harder for them to actually protect it.

In the long run, the small percent of day traders will be crushed, the elites will make even more money, and regular people just won't realize they are getting fucked even harder.

I would love a big redpill moment, but for most normies, I doubt they will notice a fucking thing.

I can certainly see why you'd be pessimistic here, considering the last couple years. A lot of people are NPCs and will believe whatever the fake news says. But how many young people have 401ks?

Even if they do convince people this will fuck with grandpa's retirement, boomer hate has been growing for a while now. Remember when kids were calling covid "the boomer remover"? I'm not gonna get my hopes up too much but I think the media spin may not be enough this time.
