Ok, so who benefits from this weird shit?

I get the basic premise of having a stock market. It’s supposed to allow companies to raise funds for growth, development and expenses. But what seems to happen mostly is the money made gets hoarded and bare minimums are spent on actual business expenses. Which defeats the purpose of the stock market, IF it was supposed to be a way for companies to do better for their employees and customers. Which it’s not.

I do not understand this stuff, but it seems like we need a lot more laws, enforceable ones, to keep the market in check. I have no money in the markets, we lost everything we had in 07 and 08 when the market took a dump. We never recovered. I’m 60, husband is 54 and disabled. People like us, what do we do?
