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
