I mean... I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, but this isnt "money from nothing".... People bought or worked for shares....

The dividend money comes from worker exploitation, sure. But in order to get the dividend from those shares, you had to believe in the company and invest...

Disclaimer: i own no shares of meta and i dont have a facebook account

I own shares in your mom.

She died in 2016. I've never really gotten over it.
