This GameStop business is crazy. There's some very shady practices coming to light. A lot of politicians and big business bods putting their oar in now.
Anyone affected by this? Involved in it?

Currently sitting on three shares of GME.
Because fuck 'em.

It's a huge movement, hundreds of thousands of random people from all walks of life and political leanings, working together to enact change.
It would be nice if we could get that kind of organisation on more social matters, but I can still get behind the cause of making slimy people like Jacob Rees-Mogg suffer.
But I think the most likely outcome is to just make it clear how crooked our world is, when governments who won't lift a finger for the average citizen will intercede to protect hedge funds.

It's not just Reese-Mogg types that are affected. Any of us could have a stake in this... and have lost 1000s so far.

The only way to have had a stake in this and have lost 1000s is if you'd been shorting the stock. I'm fairly sure no little people would have done that or if they had, then I'd say well deserved.

That's not illegal, but in any case you're wrong. If you had significant investments in those funds you might have lost money.
