If this is true, Ken Griffin and the Robinhood founders should be in jail. This is class warfare.

'Reloaded' isn't a term I understand yet amidst the WSB stuff going on. Do you have a brief refresher on what it's slang for?

  "Reloaded" in this context means they reopened their short position. As in, they had closed their short earlier, and now they opened it again. The implication is that they made a large bet that the stock price would fall, just before they changed the rules to cause the stock price to fall. I have no idea if any of this is true.

I can't wait (and by that I mean I'm terrified) to see what politics happens in the midterms. 2007/8 -> tea party & Sarah Palin lowering the bar. I argue economy/bailouts & anger had a large role. But obviously Obama, Obamacare, & racism played big role too. It's palpable and poll-able how pissed off everyone except the top top % is. I work in Democratic politics, am a relatively good earner, clearly engaged, and I'm pissed. I have a hard time understanding the other side (MAGA) but they seem even more angry all around - enough to attempt to murder Congress. Maybe the best hope we have is the 'working class' (at this point I would categorize that as anyone making under $500k) getting pushed so far that we see real change to redistribute wealth and power back down. I'm skeptical though because the other type of political polarization doesn't help; half these voters identify more for Trump / religious issues than their own interests.
