And no, the 6.134258 shares of Apple in your 401K don't make you an owner, lol.

Thank you for saying this. It's very frustrating when people act like having retirement savings makes you like billionaires.

This is 100% by design. The only way to retire in this economy is to invest in an exploitative business. So over time, people find themselves supporting ideas that make retirements in general farther away, but their own retirement nicer.
