Stocks have changed from the prior concept of stocks. Stock buybacks used to be illegal stock manipulation. Lifestyles didn't used to be financed via loans using stock as collateral. Companies used to be managed for the long term and dividends not this quarter's impact on stock value. The rich initiated the changes but keep going 'what who me? They're just stocks' like it's 1940 when the public calls them out for it.
