Yes, more financialization, more speculation, more debt leveraging. Fuck anyone who comes after my initial investment.

As long as I get mine amirite? We're all doing it. Right?

    Those are several different ideas, so no, you're wrong.

    Money isn't bad and making money isn't immoral, which is the fundamental misunderstanding that many of you have. If you don't like money, okay, but if Sandwich Guy 1 sells more sandwiches than Sandwich Guy 2, he makes more money.

    There's no moral judgment beyond your indignant projection. He just has more dollars in his pocket because he sold more sandwiches.

    Investor 1 invests before Investor 2, Investor 1 makes more money.

    If you get a 50% head start in a race, you're probably going to win.

    Have you heard of the coconut island analogy?

    It plays very much to your headstart line at the end of your comment.

    It goes something like; You're one passenger on a plane. The plane crashes. You and another person survived the plane crash. This is a deserted island with it's only resource being coconuts.

    This other person has awake from the crash much before you've awoken. This person has had the time to collect all available coconuts on the island and has secured them for themselves.

    You're dehydrating rapidly and plead for a coconut from this person to satisfy your thirst. The person offers a coconut, in exchange for some sloppy toppy.

    You gonna show them what that throat do? 🌴🥥

    This sound like a fair system?
