There's a very alluring populist type narrative to all this.

I find it attractive too to some extent. The financial system is bonkers and unfair. But...

I think that populist sentiment also blinds folks to a great number of things. I know it brings in a whole other mess but Trump, he loved his populist rhetoric too, even if his actions were anything but that.

It's also not entirely clear to me who, other than some hedge fund, actually shot shafted here and who... maybe the man, is also along for the ride / possible profits here.

People will unwittingly vote for the man to stick it to the man.
