Indeed, that’s a big part of why the story won’t go away, because it very publicly proved that the rules only apply if you’re not connected.
That’s the big point there. Idk if it was really the “little guys” who benefited - mostly people who had the money to invest. But it proved how fucking arbitrary and stupid and meaningless the stock market is.
We’re told that rich people earned their money through hard work - the guy I knew who put his money on GME for the lols and made bank earned more money by doing nothing than I made working 60+ hours a week as a teacher.
