    The point is parasites are gambling with, and profiting from, assets that were aquired through other people’s labor. It’s often mandatory for blue collar workers, and if they don’t want participate, they’re penalized for withdrawing their money.

    If this offends you, I don’t care. This entire “industry” is parasitic, and immoral. And so are the people who defend it.

      If you think all investing is parasitic gambling and aren’t willing listening to arguments I’m sorry for you.

      I’m noy offended by other opinions and I’m willing to change my position (although of course that will require lot’s of points for such strong positions).

      Just calling something bad without elaborating is not a useful addition to any discussion, so if you don’t want to argue actual the actual merits of your opinion you won’t convince anyone, you’ll just get positive feedback from people tyat already have your opinion. So, I guess, enjoy your bubble?

        I’m sorry if I gave you the idea that I care about your opinion, or anyone else’s on the matter. 401Ks are gambling with someone else’s retirement money. If you’re involved in this “business,” you should be ashamed of yourself. We’re done.
