It's also pretty sad that this is the way they had to do it and those things weren't a basic human right.
Broken system.
I'm making a pretty chunk of change on GME rn but my grandmother just had a second stroke
Funny enough they’re also saying to donate to charity with the gains they’ve made.
God I wish. If I put my entire savings on GameStop when I bought in at 19 (which I panic sold at 21 lol) I would have been able to buy a house which I can’t wrap my head around.
Tbh, I probably got in too late. I've only made like $6. I'll still throw it towards some mutual aid fund even if it is low.
it's doing something, sure, but if that fervor isn't directed to a revolutionary project, it's gonna be suppressed and forgotten
An incomplete list of things I've seen people be able to afford today:
-
Insulin for the rest of the month
-
Life saving cancer treatment for their cat
-
Rent
-
Groceries for the next week or two (buddy had $40 to his name and an empty pantry, didn't know how he was going to eat)
-
A new car
-
College tuition payments
-
Leg surgery for their dog
-
Donations to local homeless shelters and children's hospitals
-
Cat food for their little fuzzy one
I honestly lost count of the number of times I teared up today reading all this. And the best part is that all that money was pilfered completely legally from billionaire psychopath ghouls some of whom are now bankrupt and totally disgraced. All this money would have otherwise just gathered dust in offshore tax havens or just be snorted up the noses of billionaire hedgefund pricks.
Fuck wall street.
