Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

i saw mine has increased 100% in the past 2 years and it grossed me out because i know this shit has consequences. but what else do i do? my work matches a small percentage, so turning down free money feels absurd, and maybe not being obtusely poor when i retire(lololol) would be nice.

Figure out what can you do in order to make yourself less dependent on it or how can you build a better world that wouldn't require it.

Don't just throw out what you have, figure a way how to utilize it.

Communism is all about the community (if only the name would make more sense), ask yourself how safe are you if your savings lose all value overnight? Who do you have to lean on? Have you lived a life where the community will come to your aid? Is there any community left?

Edit: Well if the stock market crashes then y'all are gonna say: Ah, so that's what Богданова was talking about. And it will bring me no satisfaction.
