Wow. The whole GameStop short selling thing is absolutely amazing. I completely support the cause of the wallstreetbets Reddit boys, and I live for the fact that it really shows us not only who the rich people and Wall Street brokers care about, but it also shows us what the mainstream media cares about. Don't get me wrong, I'm a registered democrat who voted for Bernie in 2020, but I can't believe how even the originally reputable news sources are trying to spin the whole story in a way that incriminates the individual traders and tries to claim that what they did was 'illegal' in some way. It definitely clearly shows how the people truly have power, and we can't trust media that's funded by big organizations with corporate business motives and conflicts of interest. The whole event also seemed to unite a lot of people as well, and I even bought an AMC stock the other day in support of the cause! It was mostly a sign of support since the stock was only $14 (and I've already lost $6 of value since then), but since I can't really bring a sign into the street that says "We like the stock," I figured that making a little dent in the wall street broker's plans and buying some cheap stock in hopes of another short squeeze that'll give the corporate wall street market manipulators a bit of a shock. As I've seen in many memes since then, rich people always say to 'invest' and 'make your own wealth,' but as soon as thousands of normal people start playing their own game they start to backpedal and cry fraud. How suspicious.
