Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt - Is Wall Street Rigged?

[ceetee9]

Wall Street is rigged? I'm shocked! Who would've thunk it? I'm sure no one here on PA. ;)

And, of course, Wall Street denies it: Wall Street Responds to Michael Lewis' 'Flash Boys' (http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/31/investing/high-frequency-trading/)

And then there's this: How the Supreme Court Could Stop the 401(k) Rip-Off (http://news.yahoo.com/supreme-court-could-stop-401-k-rip-off-143605439.html;_ylt=A0SO80dMszpTQw8Ai3tXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzdmtyZDVsBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2dxMQR2dG lkA1ZJUDA0OF8x)

Nothing to see here people, move along now.

Raise your hand if you're seeing a pattern here. :wave:

Wow! I am shocked now. Not even one person on PA could muster any type of response to either of these "revelations." Maybe it's true that the chemicals in the Chemtrails (drinking water, GMOs, etc.) or the mind control EMF from the GWEN towers, HAARP, TV programming, etc. really are dumbing us down to the point where the only thing that warrants any interest (much less any concern or motivation to investigate) is mindless entertainment garbage and social networking doggerel.

Am I way off base here? Maybe I should be watching Dancing With The Stars or the mainstream evening "news." :confused:

I think I saw another thread on this just a day or two ago ... of course none of this is surprising info, but surprising someone has the balls to put it out there ... I remember now! --- not a thread, I saw it on the Daily Show last night. He (John Stewart) had Michael Lewis I think on the show. Great interview!

I agree none of it is surprising info, but I thought at least a few PA'ers would have something to say about it. There's just so damn much graft and corruption in virtually all of our institutions that for the life of me I can't understand why everyone isn't up in arms about it and demanding answers, accountability and change from our leaders rather than just a handful of people who think, maybe, what's going on around us is just a tad bit more important than all of the "feel good" mind-numbing entertainment that the majority seem to crave.
