      I mean… I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, but this isnt “money from nothing”… People bought or worked for shares…

      The dividend money comes from worker exploitation, sure. But in order to get the dividend from those shares, you had to believe in the company and invest…

      $700 million. A year. For one person.

      That’s another of the biggest reasons our system is so out of balance.

      It’s not money for nothing. It’s money for the risk you take when investing in a company. Why the hell would anyone invest into anything if there wasn’t possibility to get something out of it?

          It is basically gambling yeah. Especially when you’re picking individual stocks instead of something like index funds. Bigger risk but also bigger plausible reward.

              I don’t even know what you’re trying to say there. The discussion is about the risks and benefits of buying and selling stocks. If you don’t want to take that risk then don’t buy stocks. No one is forcing you. I don’t get how “building a society based on gambling” is all of a sudden a stance I’m supposedly defending here now. That’s a strawman.
