You are describing what should be done with a powerful economy. Not how to create a powerful economy. Abolishing the stock market will not encourage wealth distribution. It will make the economy weaker, and could easily make wealth concentration worse.

The right move is to reform the stock market, imposing rules on company ownership. That's why I brought up Germany. All companies in Germany above a certain size must be 40% owned by their employees.

Whether "state" includes the people is ambiguous.

So, the government, then?

This is just the latest indication that our parliament will never enact electoral reform. Where do we go from here?

Is that directed at the people, the government, or both?

Canada has not been in control of its government for a long time now. This vote in parliament is just the latest indication that this will never change. I officially give up, and am moving to Europe. I have already applied to the university.

To the Liberals, the Tories, and all of their supporters: you made me leave. Please stay the fuck in Canada.

To the rest of Canada: join me.

What do you mean by "improve the economy"?

"Stupid" is a characteristic of stupid people. Do you disagree with its usage as well?

I like it better when I can hear Navalnyi, and the English captions are quite serviceable.

I didn't use it as the main post because I thought there might be language rules.

You're saying it usually does not function properly as a means of buying and selling control over companies? Because Musk bought his first big piece of Twitter on the stock market. That's an example of the stock market working as intended. I would argue that this is how the stock market usually works. This is not gambling. This is the purchase of a tangible asset.

It then goes on to say

Noun

пидора́с • (pidorás) m anim (genitive пидора́са, nominative plural пидора́сы, genitive plural пидора́сов)

1. (vulgar, offensive) fag, faggot (homosexual)
2. (vulgar) asshole (mean or rude person)

Well, I brought up GameStop because it's an example of the stock market not working as intended. I'm saying the stock market usually works as intended. And it is intended as a means of buying and selling companies, their assets, liabilities, and crucially, their employees.

Sorry, I don't follow.

Yes, I see. I'm sorry. I really thought it would be pretty clear what each Cyrillic name meant, even to people who had never read Cyrillic before.

The English "pedarast" is not a great translation. Not vulgar, or like, swear-wordy enough. Doesn't capture the Russian connotations. See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81

It is not respect for the language. It is the minimum amount of respect every person gets when addressed by their true name. Even Путин deserves to be called by his true name. Though that is really all he deserves.

Were you confused by what I had typed?

But I do immensely enjoy the ironically homophobic joke. Homophobic jokes are appropriate when making fun of a country of homophobes.

I use the Cyrillic spellings to better reflect pronunciation. I don't give a fuck about Russian's totally fucking insane grammar. I know Russian grammar. Only too well.

The first two are actually right. Both are nominative singular.

Only "Путин's fate" is wrong. If I were to respect Russian grammar, but again, why?, it would be "fate Путина".
