Operation Protect Our Children Puns

Dear Goodladys and Goodsirs of this subreddit.

I am deeply concerned about how the narrative of this community is developing.

Everyday there are new floor/ceiling posts throwing new imaginative figures around. In my opinion, this is really bad and we need to control ourselves. Let me tell you why:

First and foremost, the motivation in January/February of all the veterans here was one thing and one thing only: Justice.

• Justice for businesses which weren't granted the possibility to recover from market developments, previous management decisions and tolerated business heaviness by transforming but were subject to so called market makers leeching them dry and filling their pockets leveraging mass media FUD and short selling; ultimately leaving people with no job, social insecurity and their dreams crushed.
• Justice for retail investors who supposedly should have financial freedom and equality to drive a stock price, to support an idea, a product/service or a specific individual who is bold enough to risk his/her equity by starting a business and to preserve or underline values (e.g. sustainability, peace, equality) but were subject to financial mechanics destroying their wealth and leaving them with the feeling that they are puppets and the markets are everything but free.
• Justice for our kids who we tell that they can and must change the world to become a better place but are ultimately confronted with parents demanding progression, though they didn't drive progression themselves.

With every floor/ceiling post, I see new hubris since of course, the numbers are rising.

Why do we need these posts? They are pure speculation and therefore lack substance. Of course they might somehow raise the spirits. But neither do the hard-seasoned veterans among you from Jan/Feb need it nor the youngest members of this community. Why? Because just look at the price chart and zoom out. Everything to calm yourself is there.

At this point, we need humbleness and expectation management. People should think about their personal risk appetite and have an exit strategy which they can still adapt, once the MOASS is ready.

But we do not need posts which make us exactly what we despise about our HF counter parties: Greed.

I(27F) wasn’t sure which flair to use but do any of you have this reason why you aren’t bringing your unborn children here? I have personal reasons as well for my time & financial well being, and for peace and quiet’s sake because kids do annoy me but I fear for the safety of children in today’s time. They can’t even play outside much anymore like I used to do and I think my generation(millennial) were the last to be able to play outside(or is it gen z, cause my little sister played with me outside too). I’ve been shaken up especially last night when a neighbor said a car was following her around the neighborhood with no lights on right when me and my cousin and her babies were leaving out. The same car came around and slowed down to my cousin’s car with her babies(2 month son and 3 year old daughter)and I was scared because my only thought was that she and the kids were in danger, we were all in danger at that point and the car kept going and the police stopped them immediately after. Sex trafficking is a big issue in my area and my sister’s car was marked!!!! And not that long ago there was a sex trafficker attempting to take a little girl outside of a grocery store 10 mins from where I stay. Lately I have been afraid to go anywhere alone and I just been having the trouble to find reassurance that I can enjoy being alone. I can’t imagine bringing little ones when I fear for my own safety. I don’t like living in fear but I can’t imagine someone taking my children away and me never seeing them again. Or having to shield them from any immediate danger. I also feel like I’m too much of a worrier to raise kids in this world because I already fear for the safety of me and my own family a lot and have been trying to worry less but it’s kinda hard..😞

My unborn kids are safe where they are right now and that honestly makes me happy.

"..we have to protect rich kids futures."

I mean, think about it. All the families that are losing their homes, their children's future is getting bleaker by the day.

All of the children of poorer families are getting ruined.

Republicans aren't protecting any children but those of the upper class. By ensuring there will be poor people for those children to be above when they grow up.

Edit: You know, where are the Democrats with the balls to stand up and say this to the Republicans when they start making that argument?

On the other we don't want them to be pussies.

Sometimes, no matter how hard we try to keep above the many forces that are affecting us, we unintentionally put this on our children. Even those of us who are aware of our behaviours, and are actively trying to reverse them, end up pushing our children away, one bad reaction at a time.

So many factors contribute, and it can be over many years, but sometimes, one last argument and they walk, for their own well being. This I understand.

However, there are many sides to the story, and many more factors.

As the parent who hopes with all my heart that one day my son will understand that I tried my best despite everything I was/am fighting, that I was sorry and sat down with him to apologise after every fight, that I was always in his corner and gave him everything I could, did everything I could, even though I had nothing else left to give to myself, I hope that he understands and comes back to me.

That I had to fight and defend myself to the damaging effects of his father on-top of all my health challenges, the man I trusted and who hurt me in a million ways, that I had no choice in the end but to walk away from. And that his blame of me has been inherited by you, but without your awareness. Your father, who is so unaware/uncaring of his covert narcissism, but so calm around you, and therefore the winner in the end. You have no idea the fights he has started, and twisted your custody against me multiple times. Me defending myself was twisted into me starting it. And yet I had to remain silent, for you.

That I had to fight for your child support for your basic needs, that wasn't even much but went entirely to you and your sister. That I paid for and took you to all your school, social, medical appointments, beyond what I could afford. That you would actually talk to me about everything, and we had the most amazing, deeply philosophical conversations and I saw your true heart and spirit, before you began to close off, and apathy took over. I know you, but you think I don't, and that because we have argued, that we have nothing in common. Your words. We have shared so much, we have had your entire lifetime of wonderful memories, but my illness clouded it, and I hurt you just enough that you have walked away. I get it completely, but it still hurts.

Know that I see you underneath your anger, directed towards me, and deservedly so. That when you say you feel nothing it's because you felt everything for too long. It was hard being my child, you suffered w
