You think Wall Street isn’t stacked against you?

That's a Wall Street guy. What is your point? Everyone go to Wall Street and contribute to society in a positive way? :)

Do no evil as long as Wall Street is happy - seems to be their real motto.

You want me to take a Goldman Sachs alum's word when he says whatever Wall Street is doing to retail investors is fine? /s

Every banker on Wall Street was in over their suits and ties when the mortgage debacle hit but many still have their jobs. So, quite frankly, who cares what Wall Street thinks. It's largely been taken over by investors looking for quick profits, which is in contrast sometimes to growing a company that's sustainable.

How is this any different than Wall Street's shenanigans? Serious question
