So what you're saying is you and thousands like you don't mind risking losing money because you think it's worth it to stick it to the man.

Who do you think is making money off all the trades you're losing on? Doh!

Some billionaires will lose money - actually they already did a few days ago when they exited. Some others will make a few millions or billions. Robinhood looks like they've got some explaining to do. Just another day on Wall Street.

That might be a compelling argument if they weren’t making money off of us in the first place.

When the choice is status quo vs actually hurting some of them even if the rest get the status quote, it’s an easy choice.

If this was true then none of the current events this thread is discussing would be occurring. You don’t need to destroy all of your enemies, you just need to prove you’re a credible threat to make the rest be wary

I don't understand what harm you think Wall Street is doing to you. In fact if you have a pension plan, you're profiting off the system too. As is your employer if you work for a listed company. Oh well, I suppose it takes all sorts.
