> American finance right now is not that the public markets are overrun with *failsons* picking up stock tips on Reddit,

Had to look up failson:

White, middle-class, male, useless people—who have just enough family context to not be crushed by poverty.

Seems a bit of a harsh, and loaded term.

It's a slang pejorative for "professional managerial class" that's been around for many years.

It’s also racist.

No It’s just the usual gentrified self contempt.

This used to be ok. These days, comedy with race motifs is playing with fire.

I’m not happy about how everyone is on the edge. Pissed off. Ready to be instantly offended. People gung ho about race, class, status what have you.

The world sucks right now so badly.

It’s not the real world just the media’s world if you ignore Them their evil actions and effects “mostly” goes away.

If it upsets you don't perpetuate it.
