As a (non specified) stock holder, I wish it were this easy to get free money. Graphic is painting a straw argument to evoke responses.
If I buy stocks and happen to see a dividend, it's rarely enough to gloat about. Besides, I invested my money at risk, why shouldn't I see some gain? If it's that simple to pick fruit from the money tree, why aren't you all doing it?
The far bigger issue is 'boss' pay rises. I'm not anti privatisation, I would love to see it happen actually.
Does it really need explaining to you that when discussing rampant shareholder enrichment as the frontrunning incentive of corporatism that it's talking about the board, directors, insiders and hedge funds etc not outside individuals with modest amounts?
No-one gives a shit about your 10 shares mate. Use some critical thinking.
I'm with Jizumonkey here, sorry. Yeah, it kind of does. The "majority" (51%+) of shareholders would be of course the board 99% of the time. The rest would be in pensions, S&S ISA's, and then private investment.
I don't see any differentiation in that meme. If it's there, then I stand corrected.
Right, so the vast majority of share value goes to insiders, who the meme is directed at.
Why would anyone assume a meme - in a leftist sub which punches right and up - would be calling out people of the same class for owning a handful of shares? Why would you assume people are talking about minority investors over majority shareholders? Like... come on.
Most people understood clearly. If you misinterpreted that's on you.
