    Replacing pensions with 401k was a stroke of genius for the ruling class. Now every worker is invested in the stock market and is forced to pray to the money line so they can retire, which means they vote for whatever party promises the most economic growth. Truly masterclass.

      It also makes them believe we should guarantee the success of the stock market. That’s the real scam.

      If a company want to fight a union to keep their share price up. The average person cheers. They value the share price more then the people

      They don’t get if workers make fair wages, they have more to spend and the stock will go up.

      Technically there trickle down. Yet we’ve got the average person to vote again their own best interest.
