It cuts both ways though.
In theory one could argue that eliminating ETFs would hurt the company owners and investors, who technically are people.
So it does kind of matter which people are being hurt and if they deserve it or not.
Extremely bad take, lol.
If the company isn't financially sound without charging customers to no longer be customers, the business isn't viable.
What an asinine attempt to justify predatory, anti-consumer behaviour from corporations.
I'm not sure what part of my "technically are people" language (or comment elsewhere in this thread here) made you think I'm justifying it.
But that is the fiscal conservative argument whether either of us thinks it is a good one or not, and thus a broad "it hurts people" needs greater specificity to scope it to main street concerns and not wall street concerns.
Seriously. Circular during squad moment.
