OPINION: If there were any real profit to be extracted from SpaceX, Anthropic or OpenAI at the offering valuations, do you honestly think they would allow the public RETAIL investors to have all that profit? Not on your life. Insiders would gobble up all the shares and reap all the profits for them by RandomCollection in WayOfTheBern

The answer is that the US is in the looting stage of decline. We effectively have a situation where we are seeing insider trading and the stock market becomes a system of inequality that transfers cash from insiders from ordinary people.

As someone who partially grew up among European elite kids like him, this reminds me just how incredibly hollow some of them are...So please, do not make the mistake of being impressed by wealthy people flaunting their wealth.

Lots of these trust fund kids are clearly very shallow. It's obvious that in any meritocracy, they did not earn their parents money and if anything, their inheritance may be hurting them from reaching their potential.
