1. No, the government needs to use its excess cash to buy stocks especially after a recession and use it to finance their deficit spending.

2. MY CEO RIF’d about 1,000 people and is giving himself a $12M raise this year after getting a $16M raise last year.

3. Half of companies offer employees a share buying program. Looks like the current estimate is that 20% of the market is in 401Ks, so I’m not really seeing. What changes should there be?

4. Fuck your stocks. Cash bitch.

5. No. That’s just encouraging more corporate governing. 

6. You mean the thing employers used to do, then stopped because it wasn’t cost effective? Like bonuses, vehicle stipends, pensions, etc?

7. That’s just BS to anybody who is working and can’t afford basic necessities, WTF will stocks do for those workers. It’s time to pay workers a livable wage. It’s time healthcare, education, and housing is affordable for the population not just the top 20% or whatever it is.

8. So that’s the amount the more generous/outspoken one thinks they, as a class, need? Now it’s time to *consider* giving only some of the future success back?

9. 

10. Stocks don’t buy groceries Mark, how about we just stop manipulating the market and pumping stocks. Us filthy poors deserve more control over market speculation than we have a need for stocks.

11. If they are treating stocks like cash then we tax it, I like it.

12. maybe, just maybe pay people a livable wage instead of hording and you know pay fucking taxes.

13. They want to give people stocks? To share in their success?? Sounds like the stock market is about to crash,…

14. Yea so they can pump and dump it? Fu mark

15. I’ll take a higher w2 thanks
