So, Trade Republic has done the same shit in Germany as RobinHood it seems.
The reaction is a mix of intersting (but most likely futile) stuff like reporting them for market manipulation to petty (but hilarious) stuff like asking for a complete list of all personal data gathered by their company, how they gather the data, what they need it for, what they use it for, who they give it to and so on (which they have to answer free of charge within a month).

All I can hope for is to watch shit burn to the ground and warm my hands in the bonfires.
Thank you based GDPR.
 
I'd take some of these numbers with a grain of salt, since it looks like they're talking just based on savings accounts. The benefit you get from having money in one of those relative to the pain of switching around to checking is a part of why I personally don't even use one. That said, the fed study focusing more on unexpected expenditures gives the same gist - lots of people are treading water at best.

HOWEVER, we really need to think more about the plight of wall street bankers who can't afford their fifth home. Won't someone think of the poor, poor hedgies in this? Maybe they should open an onlyfans.
 
If Biden stepped in to manipulate this, I will gladly cheer for his head.
I'm eager to see journalists in their rightful adversarial position, eagerly taking Biden to task by asking him just how much he fucking hates those white supremacist plebs and how rock fucking hard he was while he bravely made that totally necessary phone call.
 
On the other hand, it's disheartening as fuck how many people are still so thoroughly programmed to the point where self-professed socialists and hard leftists are springing to the defense of fucking hedge fund managers because daddy media told them that /r/wallstreetbets posters are racists and mysoginists and white.
Communists are property of the state.
