    No, the stock market needs to go. It is the primary vector of mass exploitation and binds us all to these immoral chains. It makes Mr and Mrs Greenbury down the street as complacent in Nestle’s filfthy acts as the CEOs themselves, because everyone is drooling for line go up, nothing else. Wealth chasing is the heroin addiction for Mother Terra, and we will chase this dragon until the world is charred.

      The stock market is how pensions are funded. That means the largest loss of wealth to the middle class.

        Thats great, you can still save pensions. Use the wealth you are redistributing to ensure pensions. The billionaires have enough for all of us to retire. I’m not advocating for instant destruction. I’m advocating for removing it and replacing it with a system that promotes cooperation and resource efficiency instead of one that solely focuses on financial gain.

          The stock market is one of the reasons why we don’t have pensions anymore. Companies realize that it’s a lot cheaper to pawn off the responsibility of covering your own retirement on the people who work their entire lives for you.

            They actually gave the job to a bunch of sycophants who transform it into some immaterial form using strange magic. It is unclear if this will hinder or benefit you. The sycophants use their commission to buy blow.
