I just want things to hurry up and get to the stage where rich investors start jumping from windows again because even the stock market can't hide shit anymore

I don't think we'll see that again, at least not voluntarily. A crash of that magnitude almost happened in 2008, but the corporate owned government bailed out the failed businesses. And now, the owner class is even more heavily invested in real estate, so even if the stock market tanks, having a captive market on a human right means they always have a way to steal from the workers.
