Like, maybe some failson at a hedge fund will take the fall for this and get hired in the same position somewhere else within a month, but the people who are going to get hurt the most are the poor people who come in last minute, think they're making a safe bet with their meager savings during a fucking depression, and get burned big time

    The 'house' here is the capitalist system itself. This is an opportunity for other firms to buy out the ones that lost in this event as part of the ever-increasing trend towards monopoly. Sure certain ghouls are losing some money and status (not enough to actually have to worry materially though) and will cry about a lot sure. But this isn't really bringing us any closer to liberation, and while we should point out the contradictions sure, we shouldn't be engaging in stock speculation.
