How do I get zero direct and indirect stock market exposure, no electricity price impact, no RAM or GPU price impact, etc?

I'd love to live in a world where AI firms bidding these things up doesn't affect me but I'm really struggling to understand how they aren't impacting the market.

If I'm poor I'm still indirectly exposed through the stock market. Employers stock goes down I get fired. Employer has better robotics because of AI? I get fired. Datacenter wants to get built where land is cheap? I get evicted.

Just because I'm too poor to own stocks doesn't mean stock prices don't affect me. That's indirect exposure not direct exposure.

I started buying stocks by investing $5 fractional shares each week.

You're never too poor to own stock.

People who are poor still have to participate in the economy. When you have a trillion dollar bet not pan out, somehow your minimum wage job no matter what it is, will be impacted because that’s what a recession does.

Sorry, who do you think is going to pay for the bailout? The rich? Don't make me laugh

You don’t like computers? Because these corporations are pushing up computer prices, for the rich and poor alike.
