IDK why, but this idea helps me sleep at night.

    Fuck Martha Stewart too

    People don’t realize that “insider trading” isn’t fucking over a corporation, it’s fucking over everyone that’s invested and doesn’t get the tip off.

    People’s retirement/pension and all types of other shit are tied up in random companies like this.

    Absolutely no one should respect a billionaire who fucks over others to slightly see her numbers go up. She didn’t need that money from cheating, but she did it anyways and fucked over everyone else.

    She’s a psychopath.

      Exactly this! Both her and Elon iare garbage humans!

      And don’t get me started on Ophra. “Dr” Oz is where he is now because of her. She promoted so much pseudo science garbage in her show.

      To add some concrete numbers. Martha Stewart’s net worth is about $400,000,000 and the insider trading was to avoid losing $40,000 in stock value. In other words, she fucked people over to avoid losing 0.01% of her wealth.

      As far as I can see from the documentary she was getting on a plane to go on vacation and her broker called her and advised selling $40,000 worth of some stock and she said ok.

      Fuck Martha Stewart too

      Obviously, that’s the point.

      It’s like when someone says “oh Steve… that guy doesn’t have the intelligence of a toaster”

      Clearly Steve’s an idiot, but you don’t have to jump in and attack toasters, nobody’s claiming toasters are geniuses here.
