I mean, competitive, publicly traded markets like the stocks underling SPY are not manipulated long-term. Index fund investors are not being "suckered." People who get convinced that they can time the market or pay someone else to

People are just ill-informed about markets in general, comments like this make it pretty obvious. "Free money" in a publicly traded market, yeah sure. "Anyone could have seen that fall coming", again, yeah sure.

These people are gambling and these comments are full of survivorship bias. Just passive invest, don't try to time it.

I don't see how this is different from a US union contract, which is approved by the majority of the local. Generally, the union will not make the dues optional because that is how unions collapse in the US.
