Regarding the Wall Street situation...

“For years, the same hedge funds, private equity firms, and wealthy investors dismayed by the GameStop trades have treated the stock market like their own personal casino while everyone else pays the price,”

That’s the wise, tribal woman genes she is tapping into.....that .00275%, which ironically, is about the percentage of time I actually agree with her.

Warren is saying that shite because it’s the popular thing right now. I don’t put a lot of stock in what she says. I have to give AOC credit on this one. She may be nuts but at least she’s honest.

It feels like there is an Indian casino joke somewhere in there.

Let me translate:

"I'm going to say some shite that sounds really ominous and threatening and then we are going to pass copious new amounts of regulations that create a massive barrier of entry to new companies working in the Wall Street space while ensuring there are adequate loopholes and workarounds for established hedge funds to spend an extra 10 million a year on lawyers and accountants to effectively bypass all these things we're supposedly doing to make the semi-retarded half of the country believe we are out there working hard for a single mom making $12/hour, when in actuality, we are doing less than zero to improve their economic circumstance."

That bitch would throw you in a concentration camp and watch your family be raped and murdered and feel zero remorse if it ensured her family stayed in power for perpetuity.

During the primaries she said that we need to bust up big tech.

But what she meant was big tech hasn't donated enough money to my campaign.

Exactly. What she's doing is signaling that if Wall Street hedge fund managers give her money, she'll help pass legislation to protect them.

They're called talking points. They're put out by various groups every day and they all stick to them.

She is absolutely correct. I have lived through a hedge fund take over. It's no fun at all. Lost a lot of good co-workers. Now we are overworked and under paid.

How have private equity firms treated the stock market like a casino?

She’s just licking her lips at all the short term capital gains that she’ll be able to tax this year.

Did she say it first or AOC?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC
Gotta admit it’s really something to see Wall Streeters with a long history of treating our economy as a casino complain about a message board of posters also treating the market as a casino

Sir, you have just articulated what I have thought for quite some time. I try my best to tell myself I'm being rash for thinking that way, but I fear I'm not. These are interesting times we live in. Devine Providence is being communicated with from this corner right regla these days, and I don't waste His precious time no more than I have to, being that He's a pretty busy supreme being right now.
