I wonder if the rich are sweating this at all. Basically, we overthrow them...and our lives get better? Bring it on!

"people are fundamentally egalitarian but are led to collapses by enriched, status-obsessed elites, while past collapses often improved the lives of ordinary citizens."

Financial advisors will tell you that you should be investing some of your money in stocks. But do they tell you that if you do so, that stock can suddenly be rendered null and void with the stroke of a pen? And you have basically no recourse?

Seriously, how is this legal? And how are we non-One Percenters supposed to trust *anything* about the financial system when shenanigans like this go on?

Mission Local · Philz Coffee close to closing deal to sell to private equity firm for $145 millionBy Jessica Blough

The world is so frustrating. Wages stagnating. Jobs harder to get.

Meanwhile every company is tacking on add-ons and extras, making their services more expensive.

Companies cry inflation while seeing record profits.

The rich are doing their thing, while PE buys up and destroys entire companies.

Anyway that’s my Saturday morning thought.

@campuscodi The CEO of atlassian has a net worth of $12 billion (At one point $24 billion). That is all money extracted from mostly Atlassian. If we assume that even half of it was from Atlassian, that is enough to give *each* of these 150 employees $40 million. Firing this many people at once is a big fuck you to the worker class. No one deserves or needs $10 million, let alone $12,000,000,000 dollars. He literally can't spend it quickly enough yet is firing people. #eattherich
