So a bunch of rich dickhead bankers and investors dumped money into trying to artificially depress GameStop's stock, AMC's stock, and others, and instead they ended up getting shafted by idiot poor people on Reddit, and it might cause a market collapse that will adversely affect those same rich dickheads, and not the actual poor people who largely don't hold stocks?
