    Pretty sure if it’s true that the 1% own 80% of the stock market, that’s a far bigger problem. Gen X is just a drop in the bucket by comparison.

      More like the publicly traded mega corps depend on people / the market wanting to buy their stock to inflate the value of their shares with speculative claims about their products cough artificial intelligence so they can leverage their ownership of that asset.

      Yeah the means of production being owned by the billionaires is a problem but it isn’t what’s going to gut people’s retirement funds lol
