I hate this framing too. I don't understand all the hand-wringing over people losing money in the stock market.

If you want to be mad about people losing money, be mad about the ones where it's rigged against them -- lotto/casinos. Not the ones where they average positive. Hard for me to take this even remotely seriously.

Options/futures (which I'd wager most of Robinhood's customers use) are zero sum games.
