    Yeah it’s crazy we let those “financial” markets exist.

    Like those bot wars who trade every millisecond (the same thing, buy sell buy sell buy sell), if you want to invest, there should be at least like 1 single day you have to hold on to that stuff or what is the real reason you’d invest?

    Also fuck this idea the borrowing to pay for something today but we’ll pay it later, and then later we’ll just borrow more to pay off the interests. Grrr.

      It gets worse with naked shorting, they don’t even need to borrow money they can just lie about it instead.
