    Man this dude just keeps getting hits to the system. This shit is spread wide open because one man decided not to be a fucking coward. He has put his life and freedom on the line. This is the definition of a hero.

      Humanity needs more Luigis for the cause of equality, the rampant capitalism has gotten way out of hand. It’s insane that 1% of the population owns 50% of the stock market.

        And actively uses that ownership to shut down any trading they don’t like and leverage the money they gain to buy up assets and change the stock market rules so they own even more. Give tRump time and we just might see more Luigi’s in the country, and they may include expansion to a political few as well!

        0.068% of the population owns 1.5% of the stock market… It’s the Norwegians with their pension fund!

        Funny how nationalization of natural resources and investing for the future can enrich a whole country instead of a few billionaires…

          another huge problem with the stock market is when they privatized retirement you have no thought investment. Huge amounts of the market value is due to there being nothing else to do with the money. Most of the extreme wealthy can’t do anything with their money so they throw it in and then retirement can’t be used until retirement so its thrown in. Only a really small set of investors are analyzing companies for actual profit potential. Its why the whole thing is such a house of cards now.

      I agree with you except that Luigi is innocent and being railroaded by the system. He’s a hero because he’s enduring cruel and unusual conditions and not letting it break him. The system needs him to be guilty because otherwise it becomes open season on CEOs, so they plan to publicly kill an innocent man.
