In prison for what? They are allowed to buy stocks. You are allowed to discuss stocks. If not, Jim Cramer must be going to jail, as he has an entire show talking stocks...

The elite gambled and lost. Too bad. Now lock up Nancy Pelosi for her corruption and insider trading.

They shut down trading of multiple stocks for retail investors and the hedge funds can still trade them. Fucking Merica.

Libertardians be like "hey man its muuh private company, they can completely fuck you over if they want. Just start your own collection of trading platforms"

You literally have to support Robinhood shutting down trading. The fairness or unfairness of the overall stock market has no bearing on this.

Libertarians are not like that, fuck you.

Libertarians want economic freedom for everyone.

Lol I was a libertarian for almost 2 decades. You absolutely support Robinhood, a private company, halting trading whenever they want. That's libertarianism. "Well as long as they had some asterisk deep in their 25 page Agreement and you signed it....I mean, just make your own trading platform."

You worship the market.

In fairness to the libertarians (yuck, just threw up in my mouth a little.... j/k lol).

Seriously, in fairness to them, in their world, none of these hedge funds or corporations would have become big enough to control the markets and amass trillions, and therefore, none of them would have become too massive to challenge. In that world, you really could solve the problem by making your own trading platform and increasing competition. The problem with that is that human nature doesn't really work that way. Competition is not an arbiter of equality, it's a method to determine winners and losers. Yes, corruption allowed the government and the already powerful to pick the winners who are now and have always been exploiting their influence, but in absence of that "help", a select few are still going to rise and exploit their influence. The only difference is who is doing it and through what means they rise to power. It's still probably going to be some rich guys because they'll have a head start.

Perhaps we need some sort of economic bill of rights that protects the minority in terms of economic influence.

Thanks for telling me what I support, and alienating our natural allies.

That's a broad brush you're painting with there

No you weren't. You're only here to cause a divide. I'm a libertarian and a proud supporter of Donald J. Trump. You are just a piece of shit shill and no one should take you seriously. The only idea you have that's genuine is trash talking a large group that supports this community, even when and where we differ, and the Trump family.

That you are doing this by making up bullshit I don't believe then applying it to me tells me all I need to know. You walk and talk like a two faced democrat.

Right it down, they will end up finding reasons to arrest some of the WallStreetBets folks, even if unrelated to this.

"Looks like you posted a disrespectful meme in 2015 and pirated a movie in 2013."

They will, and they’ll go to federal pmita prison for fake “process crimes” like they pulled on Flynn rather than any actual crime.
