        I mean, stock prices do go up after stuff like this. It’s a reliable way to profit.

        The system sucks, but this is literally how rich people turn money into more money, while we complain we don’t have enough.

        I may be a socialist, but I live in a capitalist dystopia, so sometimes I just exploit the system that exists instead of constantly taking the idealistic high road and getting kicked in the teeth for it.
