minus-squaresnooggumslinkfedilink1•6 months agoThe stock market is the reason for chasing quarterly profits and a massive part of what gets counted as the economy. It is the main driver of all the shitty late stage capitalism practices we are discussing.
minus-square@Coreidan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•6 months agoThe stock market is certainly part of the problem but it’s not everything. Capitalism in its entirety is the issue. Capitalism is based on infinite growth which is unsustainable and impossible. The stock market is just a tool to extract wealth from the populace. Without the stock market it would still happen but with less efficiency. You have the same problems with or without stocks.
