Rant incoming:

Got some problems with the docket for today's hearing:

"H.R. ____, to require the Securities and Exchange Commission to carry out a study on the impact of the gamification of online trading platforms, and for other purposes"
1/5

Anyone else find this gamification talk condescending?

If I wanna burn my money, let me burn my money.

Also, you know, maybe we actually know what the fuck we’re doing; plus... we were raised on videogames... bigger fish to fry than "gamification"
2/5

"H.R. ____, to amend the Securities Act of 1934 to establish certain requirements with respect to retail investor options trading, and for other purposes.
"

"Retail" doesn't need restrictions. This plays into the same "dumb money" narrative we've been fed for so long.
3/5

In short, we don't need protection from ourselves. Over the past few months we've seen incredible talent, know-how, and fortitude.

We want transparency, a level playing field, and consequences for those at the top who gamble with our future.

No more half-steps.
4/5

We don't want half-steps and we don't have delusions about the incestual relationship between the market and our policymakers.

Make no mistake — this is about rich vs. poor and they want us "protected," divided, and conquered.

Stay loud.
5/5
