[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing prevents anyone from owning stock and from participating in the fortunes of the companies whose shares they buy.  No reason to sympathize with people who choose not to be investors.  You can open a brokerage account at some firms with $0, and some require maintaining a balance of only $100 or more.  Many brokers allow tradiing with very small amounts, regardless of the minimum opening balance.

So tone deaf. $100 invested in VTC isn’t going to replace lost income and benefits of a job. [/quote]

Yep. Millions of folks literally don’t have the extra cash flow. It’s like anyone can get rich but not everyone. And we pretend the lowest wage jobs are still temporary stepping stones instead of a way of life for so many people.

I’m fully bought into the radical idea that one should be able to support themselves on a single full time minimum wage job.[/quote]
