To be fair, you were actually promised $2,000.
Ahumblebubble

Those scumbags have already processed a profit out of this.
eversincetheaccident
yall have no clue how much money is on Wallstreet huh, one little hedge fund with 10 billion is nothing
ShadowGinrai
weird, almost like both sides don't actually care about the people
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
I honestly think a country wide revolution would happen. We’re almost there. This would seal the deal so to speak. GameStop of all things
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
I just want to point out that Biden is doing great, and I’m not talking about him! Fuck trump and what he’s done to our country
KhevaKins
Melvin Capital already got a bailout from other hedge fund firms. Gov bailout is still in the wind... for now.
krapmyself
I kinda feel like if they bail them out, we won't see that 1400 at all.
NowSneakyTurtle
I feel like a bail out would cause everyone to implode with rage and it will be worse if we get no check. A lot of us are tired of the bs
RainesLastCigarette
Anyone else find themselves having that "Oh I wish they would" thought a lot these days?
Filanwizard
The overall market is doing fine and right now helping the hedges is too toxic politically. The national interest is supporting WSB.
Filanwizard
That is the overall public are cheering for the little guys. America loves to see WS get beat at its game, And they love the underdog.
Tarmaccian
This. It’s not America vs. Wall Street. It’s some Redditors vs. a couple of hedge funds. The need for any bailout is grossly exaggerated.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
If that happens you need to make those fuckers jump. Get up there and push them if you have to.
DilbeInternetAnimal
Do you think Biden will let this happen? Asking as a non-American.
RVME
The government is in bed with corporations and Wall Street, but Trump wasn't the answer.
TheFastpaws
I feel if this happens the US should riot.
OhNoDontTouch
yeah, but the US should already be rioting for a dozen other reasons, yet here we are..
TheFastpaws
Also been saying that forever. The US has no spine anymore. It is just beaten.
nosoupforoldmen
The more money the government gives wall street the more these Redditors should take from wall street
CmfMttnPpl
If the do then it won't end well for any politician, I hate to say it but something like that might unite those fringe Republicans and extr
CmfMttnPpl
Extremist democrats, I truly hope it won't but if the government does ignore us so blantintly then it might united enemy's against one
billdozer86
If it is done through legislation, i don't think enough dems will vote. But then repubs will refuse stimulus. Stalemate.
Sighered
I’m still waiting for the $600...
idontknowmaybeno
BarryTheCyborg
Well they don't want us to by anymore stock obviously
CoarseAndSalty
I figure they'll have a bailout before I finish writing this sentence.
JohnSmithterms
This won't happen quickly .... but only because people are paying attention. Once they stop paying attention however.....
captnrogersb
I have a feeling Wall Street will sacrifice Melvin capital and crash the market just to inflict maximum damage to those that bought gme.
captnrogersb
Then blame it on the retail traders and say something like “see this is what happens when normal people bet on the market”
STEVIERAYK
Think of the gold digging wives, porn is not an easy life.

silverwolf0
Never forget. Republicans don't want you to have your stimulus. They don't think you deserve it, you lazy bum.
Welverein
The funny part of all this: most of the "small" traders who are profiting actually put the money back into the economy(1/2)
Welverein
As they pay mortgage/student loan/debt or buy something. Hedge fund hoard...
IsntThatAaronic
Hedge fund managers have house payments to make as well. It's his 3rd house but bills need paid. /s
coloredgreyscale
They should have managed their money from the $1200 + $600 stimulus checks better.
stayingalive4life
You mean the 3rd McMansion built on a private island in the Caribbeans.
skellington01
Where do you want their kids to play if they have to give up the private island? In the public with the poors?? How about some compassion??
Mentok
If they get a bailout to cover their shorts, that money would go to wsb
Steffn
A small part of it, it's the big shareholders which are making massive cash at the moment.
MyRespectableAlterEgo
I don’t know if there’s enough loss to justify a gov bailout: a few billion lost from a $50Tr market? Not worth the feds time... yet.
Janzibanzi
Also a lot of said bailout would leave the us immediately. And public backlash would be a nightmare
NZSheeps
They'll probably count the bailout as part of the $1400
Erutanmi
I don’t understand, can you explain?
AstroScienceGuy
Hedge funds borrowed millions of shares of GME when it was worth something expecting it to be worth nothing so theyd never have to pay
AstroScienceGuy
Sold it immediately for cash and now owe shares of a slowly bankrupting stock. Now that its not going down they are METAFUCKED.
chancethewrapper79
(Oversimplified) The hedgefunds need to keep buying stock to pay off their short position. HF’s buying GME will increase stock price/WSB
Hendlton
The hedge funds have to buy stock. WSB currently owns the stock. Not just them though. Plenty of rich people got in on GME too.
RainesLastCigarette
A bailout would involve someone paying what the hedge funds owe, so the people holding the stocks still get their money from someone
georgejimmydoodle
The hedge fund is fucked because the stock they dumped to make the price crash were borrowed & they have to buy & return them.
apoliticalpanda
What don't you understand?
LavaAxe
They’ve shorted over 250% of available stock. They have to close at some point.
greentights
They are doubling down on the shorts? Lmao. Last i saw was 115-140%
SimiKusoni
Not just them, lots of other hedge funds have now shorted and many made more going long early on (or cashing out existing investments).
SimiKusoni
Why wouldn't you? This entire thing is going to make wall st. (and a few select day traders behind wsb) serious bank.
VirtualNaut
Apes strong together
tctallon

RainesLastCigarette
????? ????
wanttotradeusernames
And if they give us the $1400, I’m sure plenty of people will buy GME. Nice catch-22 we’re in.
Mrpoopers
We are not getting anything.Should have been Bernie. He is the only one with a spine. I’m tired of lesser of two evils
culinarydream7224
thatguywhohasnoname
This is no time to masterbate
thatguywhohasnoname
Unpopular opinion on imgur but has to be said: Bernie couldn't win among Dems what makes you think he stood a chance against trump?
Tovarish1013
Because people were voting against status quo when they voted for Trump. Pretty sure Bernie would win in '16.
TheDepressedCommunist
Idk. We all voted for Biden because that was the only option. We could and probably would have done it for anyone running against Cheeto.
culinarydream7224
You all did but that wouldn't have beat the 74 mill who voted for Trump. We made it to 80 mill because of republican voters
Murphquake49
Not so much that he couldn't win, he wasn't given a fair chance.
thatguywhohasnoname
He was though... It's the same process every time. He ran twice and lost twice
ThomasThundersword
the rules were specifically changed to give him a better chance in 2020 and he didn’t even last to the convention. We, don’t, want, him.
camptzak
Brokerage houses engaged in the short contract with Hedge Funds, they could release them from their obligation.
crazyspelling
Unconstitutional. Gov't can't pass a law interfering with existing contracts, only new contracts.
camptzak
But the brokerage houses could settle with the Hedge funds without buying back the shares, if the wanted to let the Hedge Funds off the hook
camptzak
If faced with Market Collapse plus pressure from government, it could happen
crazyspelling
Agreed.
RainesLastCigarette
Be a great way to incite a riot, but certain states are making protests illegal now too so that's a thing.
charlie2979
I remember last month when it was $2000.
vowofloudness
$2000 - $600 = $1400
AsABiologistWhoIsNotFunAtParties
Pretty soon it'll be $200 and all you apologists will be like "they meant $2000 including the $1200 and the $600 that came out earlier...."
charlie2979
Shits pretty funny. I wonder why no one trusts politicians? A real mystery.
kbryant414
It's really not a hard concept. Rs wouldn't let $2k through, they put $600 through so fewer people would starve waiting for the whole $2k
charlie2979
And before Georgia was he saying a 1400 cheque to bring to total up to 2000? Or was he saying a '$2000 cheque?'
charlie2979
Yeah, that's not what they were saying last month when they needed us. Actual gaslighting by a political party. Kool.
charlie2979
'Why does no one Trust or like us though?'
vowofloudness
I think you're misinformed. Can you please share your source?

vowofloudness
"$600's not enough, we need $2000" seems very clear to me. I don't know how you could interpret it to mean we need a total of $2600.
kbryant414
Rs stonewalled on $2k. Ds did $600 as basically a down payment, w/ remaining $1400 coming when they had more control in Congress.
kbryant414
Last I checked, the Rs are still trying to prevent the rest from coming out.
charlie2979
Sure, but that's not what what was promised. Nor do they need R support. They said 2k cheque if we win. They won, then said no, we never
kbryant414
It also does need R support. A Senate vote of 60/40 to pass normally, and even invoking a workaround requires 51/49.
charlie2979
And luckily we won Georgia. So we have the numbers. You make them vote it down, then pass it anyway.
charlie2979
Said that. It was always 1400. But it wasn't.
