I'm not an astronaut stuck in space. I'm not too worried about it.

There was an article recently that was clearly just PR about how they're not concerned being stuck up there because there's so much to do and the views are amazing and so on.

Sure.

Then claw it back from the fraudulent CEO and their board of flunkees.

I believe several stocks are a complete grift and that CNBC, at the behest of whichever Hedge Fund/Market Maker greases them, is part of the disinformation dissemination scamming investors/swaying sentiment.

Capitalism in on itself isn't bad, it can be the most efficient system for everyone to grow.

However

You need to have a solid set or rules in place that makes it work well for everyone. No monopolies, for (a simple) example, bit also if a small company does, there is bankruptcy, the the same needs to apply for a mega corporation. If a corporation is too big to fail, and require bail out then at least sack and replace the entire C suite, and upper management, no golden parachutes, no bonuses. Hell, if the company is so important that govt need to step in with billions, hold C suit personally responsible. If I fucked up and my company goed bankrupt, I can lose my house, why should a CEO get a bonus for doing the same thing but 100.000 times bigger and worse?
