Stocks, Investing, Gambling, Bitcoin .etc

Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.

    The economy.

    I’m a laborer. When the economy is bad, my cost of living goes up and the price of food goes up.

    When the economy is great, my cost of living goes up and the price of food goes up.

    The only people affected by a positive economy seem to be the people wealthy enough to have stock portfolios and large shares in corporations. It doesn’t affect me as a laborer in any positive way ever.

      Whenever I hear the word ‘economy’ I replace it with ‘rich people’s yacht money.’ I feel that clarifies a lot of my opinions on the matter.

      That’s quite frankly how it’s designed. Capitalism favors no one but those that have built it and continue building on it.
