    Can we all be hedge fund guys?

    The artist, the craftsman, the farmer, the soldier, the builder, the factory worker, the teacher, the chef, the bus driver, the fishermen, the miner, the street sweeper etc...these are the people that make society able to function, yet they toil day in day out with little in return save for some personal gratification perhaps.

    Yet some people make more money in an afternoon than you will make in 100 lifetimes by playing a game rigged in their favour.

    So why don't we all just be financial advisors and hedge fund guys?

    if we can't, if we need every single person in the house of cards that is society to help keep it up, to feed us, to protect us, to teach us, to house us, then this is a good argument for some kind of re-distribution of wealth or universal basic income or something.

    Also, i_monk, when you were asking for career change advice? Get into finance, stop fucking around, everything else is just a waste of time. :)

    • You need to project your disdain less towards the hedge fund guys and more towards the Fed + Gov's who are print money like there's no tomorrow.shapesalad
    • Gov's get into debt, but that's normal it'll never be paid off. Instead to avoid hyper inflation they have one tool... Tax.shapesalad
    • So expect higher taxes for all those that you say make society. Who will all struggle with said tax increases while seeing their $ devalued.shapesalad
    • Hence folks in lockdown with nothing better to do than download robinhood and check YT or Reddit are trying to at the very least send a msg to the fed/gov.shapesalad
    • And given the responses...looks like it's worked, they've got the msg and had their feathers rustled.shapesalad
    • yeah good point. for sure, we're all responsible for this mess, governments especially._niko
    • Redistribution of wealth or UBI is not taking from the rich and giving to the needy - it's generating more money by the Gov.grafician
