    Basically all of modern society functions off of the back of an elaborate , rigged gambling system.

    That’s what the stock market is, in a very real way.

      I still don’t get how they make the stock market appear distinct from horse racing for example. Same shit, different name. And don’t hit me with the “but you could research the stocks beforehand so it’s not random” yeah and you can research the horses and riders and it’s still fking gambling and basically 99% random. Well except for insider trading. That’s like a Mafia in gambling, it’s somehow even worse.
