The frustrating thing is if I make $100k breaking the law and then get fined $5k, I'm still ahead $95k. WHY WOULD I STOP BREAKING THE LAW?!?!

[@SomeYouTubeTraveler]

Yep. The sad irony is that some wealthy _do_ pay "taxes," just in the form of wrist-slap fines.

[@Rubingah]

It's so telling that when you ask a guy like this if he can imagine a *financial system* better than a toothless SEC and a dangerously criminal finance industry his first response is that he "believes in American democracy". Dude, everyone asking for a fairer financial system believes in American democracy; that's the whole dang point. If you believe in American democracy, maybe you ought to have an answer when you're directly asked to imagine an alternative to plutocracy.

[@boristheamerican2938]

The SEC is only toothless during republican administrations. They defund it so it cant function. When the democrats take over they fund it as much as they can and they are playing catch up. Then republicans come in again when we get fat and happy and greedy and the cycle repeats. Go ahead and tell me Im wrong or a liberal or whatever but ask yourself this, why is there always a financial crash under republican administrations?

[@IRLC]

@@boristheamerican2938 To think that any financial crash is purely the outcome of a few years during a single presidency is completely absurd. To think that the sitting president has meaningful sway over what the Fed does is absurd. Learn about the longterm debt cycle, read about how the banks were over-lending mortgages for the better part of a decade before 2008, just please wake up and realize we live in the same messed up financial system all year, every year. Politicians want to make this a partisan issue so they point to "who was currently in charge" and will swap between president and congress depending on which helps the narrative. It's all coincidence, the whole thing is messed up down to the very money the FED and banks are constantly printing into existence via debt vehicles.

[@matthewdunley6398]

It's so funny. The modifier "American" in front of Democracy doesn't strengthen America, it weakens Democracy. We have the shittiest version of Democracy on the planet at the moment. And this tool thinks it's cool to extend that to our financial markets? Yikes.

[@u-mos8820]

u know, that's kinda the problem isn't it? At least that's why I think Mr. Stewart does these things is cause 1. it's NOT always hot air even if you think it is and 2. many people simply stop listening when they hear something that betrays their expectations. It doesn't make for much of anything but a circle jerk. Thankfully I don't get that at all w/ the interviews I've seen from Jon Stewart. He's had hot air blown at him for sure, but his composure gives the statement of humility and purpose. One of my new fav interviewers!

[@nunyabidness3075]

Not so fast. Th powerful use the gatekeepers like shields. You can’t get them unless you take away the shields. When a CEO wants to pull a scam with multiple entities or using some loophole he always hires professionals to protect him. If the professionals realize they will be ruined if they take his money, it goes a long way towards stopping the bad behavior. BTW, it often happens that the accountants and lawyers think up the schemes and go to the rich and powerful to get money and access to make the scheme work.

Imagine if getting caught robbing a bank only came with a small fine. And, most banks had security that was easy to fool and guards easy to pay off. That's the world the corporations and super rich live in. It costs them more NOT to rob.

[@jaybockstoce]

It's nothing more than "pay to play". If you want to do things your way, you'll have to cough up some dough to do so. But the sky's the limit, if you have the funds to make it happen. Example: A speeding ticket can be viewed (through a wealthy persons eyes) as a "go fast license fee". Worried about losing your license? Just donate to a cause or campaign that's close to the judges heart and watch those 'points' disappear. The amount of money required to make something like this happen is pocket change to the wealthy. Pay to play.

[@jgmediting7770]

@@jewulo only a small proportion of a population is capitalist. The majority are workers. In a democracy, the interests of workers would be primary in terms of policy. So capital has to corrupt the democratic system in order to sustain its interests. The interests of capital, namely freedom of capital, is not congruent with freedom and democracy. Anyone who thinks the right wing (capital) really stands for freedom and democracy, doesn’t understand the nature of private capital. The freedom the right wing cares about is freedom of capital to do what it wants and go where it wants. But for that to happen, it has to rely on corruption and propaganda when the majority of a population are workers rather than capitalists. Capital wouldn’t get what it wants in an uncorrupted democracy, and it certainly doesn’t want workers to have freedom. In an actual democracy, there’d be far less private ownership of capital, assuming it wasn’t abolished all together.

@@bobbygunz9254 its pretty farfetched for hodlers only... I leverage on the volatility of the market for significant returns rather than holding and loosing value to the volatility of the market I made my first mill from going diverse, mainly stocks, ETFs, few Cryptocurrencies and bonds. It’s a long term plan for me so I invest and re-invest. building wealth involves developing good investment habit and understanding.

Can you blame them? I don’t want to hold cash right now, either.

Jon is a fucking legend! I keep wondering why celebrities are so quiet on the meme stops. I can only conclude that they're run by these companies and they hold their investments. Youre going against the grain Jon, and we appreciate you more than you realize! LFG! 🚀

[@brianegendorf2023]

Jon: "Can you get anything done to help the public fight this corruption", Gensler, "No..I'm too busy getting things done".. EVERYONE ELSE- "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?"

[@albertgriffith5801]

How can you borrow and sell more shares than actually exist? How can that be real? You're a good man Jon, I know what you did for those firefighters, thank you for what you do.

Any time someone in Gary's position says "I believe in getting things done" it means they are not going to get anything done that benefits normal, everyday people.

Omg! Finally, someone held GGs feet to the fire and asked the pressing questions that every other interviewer danced around and every retail investor has been dying to hear. Although he was vague as usual the full frontal head on reads were like torpedoes from Mr. Stewart and shone like a mega spotlight. Well done. I hope we are closer. Love it!

[@cryptoclasswithjay]

GIVE ME A BETTER SYSTEM! End of story. Thanks Jon 🙌

[@vaibhavbijapur6037]

such well done interview. Jon did such a great job in delicately handling such a high profile individual.

[@MrOliverwoods]

Why ask the crooks how to make laws ? Do we confer with the Mafia about extortion laws ? Also, he wants gate keepers to take responsibility. He is literally the head gate keeper.

Jon Stewart wasn't letting any BS slide! 👏👏👏

[@DaveE99]

As soon as he said “I want to get things done for the investing public” I realized the whole point of the sec is to protect the top 10% who own 90% of the stock market. It’s a institution to protect the rich.

Thank you Jon. Time to fire gary gensler and bring lawsuits for allowing dark pools to steal retails money

[@yeheard]

This angers me to the core. Hedgefunds committee crimes out in the open and take millions from retail and they get fined!! Regular people take money in some states worth $500 and it's a felony. System is soooo broken!!!

[@williamduffy1227]

Maybe is the people of this country, after the 2008 financial meltdown, then penalty free bail out to those who caused it, had hung some of these bastards from lampposts outside the stock exchange, and left their bodies dangling for a few weeks.... maybe THEN there would be some reform. But probably not.

[@EddJan3269]

Thank you Mr. Stewart and every Apes 🤭💩👍👍

[@Jsan2222]

I always love coming back to this and seeing Gary throw the DOJ under the bus 😂😂

[@ThirdEye1990]

Jon Stewart should run for President !!

All the millions apes appreciate you and your wonderful team Jon, keep fighting with us.
