sucking up the wealth of the rest of the country to line up the pockets of themselves while creating no real value.

Genuinely curious where you draw the line between "wall street" and the "rest of the country", especially with regards to creating "no real value".

I'm sure the vast majority of posters here have a car loan, student loan, or mortgage, which is just one example of where your pejorative use of "wall street" generates value.

As you say, "SV" (or the tech world in general) may be far more guilty of sucking wealth with no real value added.
