Fidelity has 31m brokerage Accts and charges $0 for stock trades. If they sent out a text from an analyst with a big price target on a stock , is that manipulation ? If you want to help the workers, incentivize companies to offer shares to ALL WORKERS
Just think how happy the people who do the work would be if they had shares to sell into these short squeezes! Yes the SEC needs to investigate to see if this is a coordinated pump and dump. But the SEC is going to be useless on this and every comparable type situation
As much as you have had your heart in the right place to improve consumer protections you and your peers have allowed the SEC to continue to be a joke. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. It’s gone on for years. The SEC could write bright line regulations
They could be very clear about what is allowed and what isn’t but they won’t. Why ? Because their entire workforce is built on lawyers who want to Litigate to Regulate. They don’t want clear delineation. They want to sue. They want to intimidate.
If you want to help the little guy demand the SEC introduce bright line rules that anyone can understand and follow, otherwise we are going to see them attack defenseless traders to say they did something and do a Press Release
If you want to see how useless the SEC is for small investors and traders, get someone in your office to call the SEC to ask a question about anything. Last time I did it a few years ago they sent me to a page that asked me to FAX 8 copies of my request. That’s the SEC

Lets talk $GME shorts vs De-Fi. When someone shorts a stock that is already heavily shorted, they have to pay a fee to borrow that stock. In the case of $GME that fee has been hovering around 30% this week. Shorts have to pay (Price x .30)/360 per day. In DeFi thats a 30% APY.
For RH Traders that own $GME that money, as best I can tell, is held in street name. Which means that 30% APR goes 100pct to @RobinhoodApp 😬😬😬. Imagine if you pooled your crypto and the platform was getting 30% APY and didnt pay all but fees to you ? What would happen ?
This is one more way that Wall St takes advantage of the little guy. If you are moving from RH, look to see if you can find some place that allows you to hold the shares and lend them in YOUR name, so you get the Yield (Yield Farming in stocks !). Not all will allow it.

What we learned in 2020? This country can't efficiently deliver Food, Cash or Care to those who need it.
We need required Direct Deposit accts for cash Deposits. Mailing checks for stimulus payments based on IRS info is crazy. These accounts should be supported by all digital payment systems without fees.
This account can also be used to support existing Gov Debit cards and provide funding for care and food

This is a generalization, but it seems like Reps feel like no one will give to their candidates so a food bank is a good choice. Dems get angry and think they need every $ they can get to win. No one seems to just trust the voters to decide for themselves
And then there are us independents who think that both parties care more about power than listening to voters.
And then there are the progressives who think no matter what I say it’s wrong, simply because I’m rich. Even when I say we shouldn’t listen to the rich or powerful politicians , we should ask voters what they want , I’m wrong. But they know they are right all the time

It's time to face the fact that PPP didn't work. Great plan, difficult execution. No one's fault. The only thing that will save businesses is consumer demand. No amount of loans to businesses will save them or jobs if their customers aren't buying.
It's time for trickle up economics. We need a transitional fed jobs program that trains and hires millions for a federal tracking/tracing/testing program as well as for support for at risk populations including long term care. We need to dent unemployment with stable jobs
In addition, because this will take time, we need to consider an interim spending stimulus program. All 128m households could get a $1k check every 2 weeks for the next 2 months that MUST BE SPENT WITHIN 10 DAYS OF RECEIPT OR IT EXPIRES. This "use it or lose it" prog will

The "Fabric of Who We Are" is being innovative, entrepreneurial and resilient. That Fabric will lead us to create new companies & opportunities that recognize the changes Covid has forced on our world. Pretending things will return to how they were 10 weeks ago is a huge mistake
Yes, we will have to take intermediary steps like Federal Jobs Programs to get people working and give them confidence to spend money without fear of losing those jobs. We will have to evolve from top down to bottom up support to build over all consumer confidence.
But from these changes in approach the USA will do what we always do, we will innovate and create a better way of doing things that revitalizes the economy and the country. I have complete faith in this statement. But we have to allow change, we can't conserve the past.

Yes. We absolutely need a federal jobs program. 50m people unemployed and underemployed! We need millions trained to be Healthcare professionals who will do tracking and tracing within HIPAA privacy protocols to allow us to learn and to be prepared in case of a resurgence
We need to address Long Term Care shortages of facilities and trained Health Care Workers for the growing elderly population. That's needed infrastructure and millions more jobs.
We can use @AmeriCorps to create additional community need jobs. This not only puts people back to work asap, it serves as a foundational program for possible disruptions from the accelerated adoption of AI as big companies look for increased efficiencies and smaller payrolls.
