I lost practically everything in the housing collapse, too, as did a lot of people. However, the housing crisis hurt more than just people. I feel for the ones who had to send their pets to shelters because they were going to be homeless or moving in with a relative and could no longer keep their furry best friends. I'm sure many didn't make it out of the shelters alive because the kennels filled up so quickly as space was limited. Fuck you, BAC, and every other institution that has blood on their hands because they reaped the rewards after harming so many people and the ones they loved.

so what you are saying is you could not pay your mortgage and it was someone else's fault, is that it?

Yes. Long story short, I got screwed when Bank of America took over Countrywide. I had a 3 month deferment with Countrywide, but when BOA took them over, they wouldn't honor it, so I sent them 2 months' worth of payments, but they sent it back to me with a different amount requested. I sent them the amount they requested, but this money was returned to me, too. This scenario played out five more times before I gave up. Eventually, I entered the investigation that was being conducted and I was awarded $2000, but BOA got my house, which was originally purchased for just $70K.

No longer about money...

While this was happening in my home, I saw hedge funders literally drinking champagne as they looked down on the Occupy Wall Street protestors. I will never forget that.

When I think about OWS, this is the very same thing that comes to mind.

I remember taking part in the Occupy Wall Street Protests back in the day.

I set up a jungle hammock outside of Philadelphia's City Hall, took few blankets, and stayed there for several days.

At first it was really amazing, I thought we might actually make a difference. Protesting bailouts and demanding bankers be given justice.

But instead of people protesting bailouts, it rapidly morphed into people demanding their own bailouts.

Students demanding their liberal arts degrees be paid off in full, home 'owners' who never read the terms of their mortgages. It was bound to fail.

That's why this GME protest is so much better. Instead of whining and protesting, which never works, hit them where it actually hurts.

Their positions.

Enough people do this, and we can consistently fuck them over. All it takes it one smart person, to notice a stupid short position, and for everyone else to put their money where their mouth is.

Yes, but time is running out, there's a flaw, a breach through which they really can be hit bad, and they are going to do whatever it takes to put a stop to it, to close loopholes

Now, the fun part, is that by doing so, they'll trigger some sort of streisand effect/event, a "the king is naked" moment, by rendering the public market inaccessible to the public essentialy, by turning it into their safe space, with half the woke politicians coming at their rescue and the other half screeeching about it, total clusterfuck, it's going to be real fun to watch, a true eye opener for everybody

Eventually, as a side effect, they might end up rendering their own terrain impracticable

Unintended consequences are a thing

This is the greatest story ever told. I don't care if it's fiction at this point. As long as it gets people to hate jews.

Ouch. If not a LARP, things are more interesting than I had calculated.
