Look, I'm not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don't care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn't want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They'd rather buy lottery tickets.

Yeah also stopped there.

The commenter above was making that very point, that it's so worthless to give us financial advice and knowledge of the economy when a large portion of Americans are scraping together their last nickels to pay their water bills or their electric bills and not always both. Most people don't have a savings that can withstand a minor home emergency or health problem, investing or saving with intention is almost impossible for millions of people.

The funniest part here is that the commenter got a lecture about the economy anyway.
