I'm always for a free market, and for the abolishment of th…

Why was the SEC created?

Probably to "protect" retail. Now look who needs protection.

Ok, I asked it wrongly. DO you know the facts that led to the SEC creation?

Well yeah, it is for protection purposes. Do you want to be protected?

No I don't, but I know how to manage risk. From a systemic POV I don't know if they are good or bad. Do you think no systemic protection is the way to go? I would like to learn more about that, do you have some tip for what to read?

Be careful about such rhetoric; "I am of course enlightened, but the plebs needs systemic protection..."

Look, you can't get massive bailouts, bribe govt officials, and then do a "it's a free market" shrug as Robinhood saves you by restricting markets.

Thanks for the warning, but please don't try to put words in my mouth. You are deviating so you can keep the conversation detached from facts.
The subject is if having an SEC is beneficial or not to society. If you don't want to discuss it, fine.

I know a central planner when I see one. Be careful here on Twetch as well, it is probably not that regulated and therefor very scary!

OMG now ad hominem?
I follow you, I was trying to have a conversation. I am not a "central planner", c'mon. My sin was to ask for facts? I have not even advocated for the SEC. Disappointing. I thought you were a scholar.

No, I am the one disappointed, because I have seen this attitude a thousand times in my life, and have to see it again on platform where libertarians hang out. The condescending "protection for others, but not for me" attitude.

What attitude? Making questions and seeking a fact-based discussion?
You are not willing to discuss, you are trying to discredit me.
I am unfollowing you, you tricked me with an intellectual pose, you are an emotional, attention-seeking lazy man.
Bye

One follower lost, another gained.

Thanks! I might have misunderstood @243, I don't know at this point. Still, this issue with $GME is infuriating and I did not quite expect being questioned on SEC-facts like a child when bringing up the subject.

"like a child" is another attempt to discredit my arguments using no logic, no facts, just "I am superior" bullshit. Social media people only care about building an audience, you are the AOC of twetch.
Fuck you, Emil.

A good day to you too.

It's a rough day emotionally, isn't it?

Maybe making a poll about who is the AOC of Twetch would lighten your mood...

You can put my name on it!
And yours, if you are ready...

Isn't life a wonderful experience?
Everything is gonna be alright

Not for me, I am very calm. A well deserved "fuck you" is no sign of emotion.
Go ahead, make the poll.
Yes, life is great and many things will be alright.
