Because for all the big talk and anti-rich/anti-corporate talk that many Dem politicians preach--they aren't really willing to do anything other than talk about it in order to get votes.
Republicans aren't out to help you. Democrats aren't either. And most of Lemmy is too busy playing PokemonGO, to actually do anything close to a revolution that would change anything. They'll talk about it, upvote it, but they won't actually do it. lol
I mean this sucks for people who are already retired
Meh, I am already retired and doesn't suck for me. Now for people who were just about to take out a big chunk and sell it all, yeah, the timing sucks.
But unless you are planning on selling right now, all good. The market will come back. And most rich people are actually buying up stock right now and laughing at the panic sellers. This happens every single dip.
Almost as if you’re just saying divisive stuff. Hmm…
Just because I say something divisive, doesn't mean I'm doing it on purpose. You do realize that some people just have different opinions than you, right? Hence the election results.
My point being, not everything is a trick or troll statement. I believe what I said; in spite of you finding it divisive, not because it's divisive.
For the record, my gf totally disagrees with me, and is making the really really silly mistake of panic selling. Even tho I showed her facts and historical context. She's making a huge mistake. And I'm sure I'll hear all about it when the market comes back up and I profit (small, but still profit).
Advice? Don’t panic sell. Odds are pretty good the market will be back up eventually.
100 percent this. You only lose money in a down market if you sell while it's down. That's why rich people see everything as being on sale, and they always profit in market dips like this. It's because they laugh when people panic, and then buy everything at the super low prices.
I'm not even rich, and I'm following this strategy! lol
I meant Lemmy as a whole. And I agree with you that we shouldn't be trying for that. I personally have been bullied and there have been plenty of attempts to push me out--all because I post links to news articles that have conservative points of view. Even when it's AP News, I get bullied. lol
Agreed, those are bad things. Just making a point that not all MAGA or conservatives believe those things. And if you are online, you're not going to change their mind. So better just block and move on.
You are totally free to fight it, but it won't get you anywhere.
I thought they were either shoved out, bullied out or pushed
That's not something we should be trying for though. Wouldn't you be mad if suddenly conservatives came on and said that same thing about left-leaning people?!
