    sir, this is a Wendies meme. In the end it boils down to the capitalist goverments bayling out those who don’t need it (billionaires and millionaires) and giving credit for virtually nothing. Ofc it’s a simplification since this is a meme, not a chart for econ class

      But that’s how capitalism works. You invest your money into something instead of using it on yourself.

      And in exchange for the risk taking, because each investment is a huge risk, you become (in case of stocks) a shareholder. And a as a shareholder and risk taker, you get compensated for your risk taking with dividends.

      Why invest your own cash into something and take a risk without getting something in exchange? That would be considered stupid.

      I invested into Wirecard back then and guess where the money went… Investments are bound to risk. And taking a risk must be rewarded.

        I believe that’s how it works, but I just don’t understand how that makes any sense. They’re just playing with numbers in the air, making a line diagraph go up and down… I just don’t get it.

          The “line diagraph” represents real physical things that you can eat or sleep in or wear.

            So they make the worth of that different? People give money so the worth of those things change? Who decides what worth is? What am I missing?
