As a person who is used to black or white thinking, I really don't understand what's the point of this whole thing.
RobinHood CEO didn't give a single straight answer. He deflected or ignored 100% of the questions asked.
Not sure what the public wins from this hearing. Someone please educate me?

- nowandlater 6y agoOne take away I get is that if Robinhood is supposed to fundamentally be about "lowering the barrier to entry and democratizing finance for all", then that kind of corporate speak should be seen almost certainly as complete bs and raise the level of trust/suspicion required by everyone the next time a company wants to peddle the same line. I know it should be obvious, but maybe not, I dunno.
