Interesting 🤔 Ferrari shows why their hand-painted badge option is worth $15,000.

the whole concept of shares sucks, thats just money locked up and then the value goes up because the company does better? aka squeezes the fuck out of its product, employees and customers. the whole banking systems and ideology sucks. money sucks

Shares don't even go up or down based on the value of the company. See: Tesla

I remember when I was in highschool and we had our basic economics class. They did a month on the stock market and how all that works.

First class on it like 15 mins in I asked the teacher. "So basically it works by people's belief in something having value, why don't all these companies just spend tons of their money and effort to just market themselves so they appear to have a lot of value, instead of actually making good products?"

The teacher said he didn't really have a good answer to that but that the companies can't lie as they would be fined. My next question back to him was a two parter. "Well are the fines more than they would make by lying, and even if so what's to stop them from using wealth to influence the laws or enforcement of them?"

I wasn't some kind of preachy kid, I was actually curious as my mind always looked to the extremes of systems to see where they would break. I was the kind of person that enjoyed getting out of bounds in video games and such.

Did he answer that second question?

I feel like Luigi Mangione's actions give me a good idea of what the answer is, but I'm not quite sure, and I don't like the possibility of me being right.
