Cynical take: increasing Meta's stock value does improve the lifes of many - the many stock holders.
Thus: when you talk about improving lifes, you better specify which group you are targeting, and why you selected this particular group.
I am interested in improving the lives of the many people who cannot afford to be stockholders
The reason I'm interested in this is twofold
First, I think the current system is exploitative. I don't advocate for communism or anything, but the current system of extracting value from the lower class is disgusting
Second, they outnumber the successful people by a vast margin and I don't want them to have a reason to re-invent the guillotine
> they outnumber the successful people by a vast margin
you can be successful and lower class.
