Guess we can indirectly measure the maximum value of a human life - turns out I could buy several with my walking around money.
So assassinating CEOs is good for the stock market? Hmm.
It's a strange thing but the chart is right there in front of us
Given how much CEOs are leaches on companies, it should be true as long as they don't replace the CEO.
Jokes aside, it's almost certainly because the algorithms tell them that press mentions=interest=buy
I think it's because they released their earnings report and it was positive actually
I mean, yeah? They don't deny claims because it loses them money.
There's a mission exactly like this in GTA V, you kill the LifeInvader CEO and watch the stock market go brrrrr
I really liked that one, it was soooo fucked though (no spoilers, but let's just say it's a bit mind blowing). It lead to similar side missions where you got to do that to others, too.
You know how expensive CEOs are? Huge expense suddenly gone.
No parachute fees either
Their 'work' is among the easiest to automate.
But, automation for thee, profits for me, says C Suite, and so it shall be.
Plus companies generally have life insurance on all of their employees. I'm sure the policy on this guy is fairly substantial (if the claim isn't denied, kek)
Hope people are taking notes
We've been sacrificing underpaid workers, labourers and academics alike, to the stock market for years with such small returns. A single CEO is sacrificed and the line skyrockets.
We've been targeting the wrong people.
You know how people like to satirize the stock market by claiming it runs on blood?
We're living in a satire.
It is not satire, it is usually just that the blood sacrifices are usually more obfuscated and hidden.
He died doing what he loved... Hurting people during the exact worst moments of their entire lives, but through layers of obfuscation so he could treat people like widgets.
One CEO down, only a few thousand more to go.
Ahaha can hear him saying it
follow the money
Its actually way down now. That line jump is from Thompson selling his stocks before getting his claim denied. One of the reasons people suspected it being a hired hit (which I doubt).
No Christmas bonus this year.
It's ok, Christmas came early.
.world gonna ban the New York Stock Exchange now.
As much as I'm rooting for this meme, the spike was very brief and the stock has been falling consistently over the last day 😔
Probably just a bunch of people getting in on the short.
Buy high sell low
Hmm, what has the bigger effect on stock market: firing 1000s of workers or shooting a CEO?
New method of market manipulation dropped...except this time manipulated by the common folk
BEHOLD! THE MARKET HAS SPOKEN! LET IT BE SO! GO FORTH AND SERVE YOUR MASTER!
WE MUST SACRIFICE MORE CEO BODIES TO THE NASDAQ GODS.
FOR GROWTH!
Let me get a gun and some Tesla stocks
I don't know if this is a plan, or like a regular order at a American drive thru.
"A number 9, a gun, and some Tesla stocks, no ketchup. Please and thank you."
When did Wallstreet get so based?
It didn’t, the stock is down 30% this week, OP just cropped a completely bullshit and misleading time window.
You know people keep saying this event is unifying everyone, didn’t realize it could mean the rich as well.
Something something something, fiduciary duty.
Well, explaining the noise is a game that can be played here too...
Everybody seems intent on doing it, why not us?
