People who can’t afford basic needs like food and shelter in the near future aren’t are usually ones that are heavily invested in the stock market to begin with.
Yes. But there are others who are investing money that they can't afford to invest. Trust me. Been there myself. Investing money, then 4 months later having to cash out because of some expense. A lot of new retail investors are doing the same. It's not that can't feed themselves. But if they are the ones who found themselves on thin ice after the pandemic and decided to stash the extra cash into the market, down the road, I see them needing to cash out once the financial support ends.
Inflation is increasing. Things are more expensive. I can't imagine cash sitting in the market will last too much longer.
And if these newcomers pull their money out, so what?? It’s a relatively small aggregate dollar amount I’m sure. GameStop, AMC and crypto may get hit hard though lol.
Small aggregate dollar amount? So a trillion dollars is small?
Federal Reserve balance sheet fell by $ 13 billion for week ending Wednesday. It's since been a net buyer of bonds. It needs to keep up with its stated target of at least 120 billion dollars each month. It occurs most months where there is an over/under on net purchases on a given week but makes the target by the end of the month.

The people who are new and would need that cash 4 months later aren’t investing enough cumulatively enough to matter…..even if it was cashed out all at the same time.
AMC and GME may be the safest bet due to the short squeeze. But we'll see.
Yes, it is. The S&P500 has a total market cap of around $31.6 trillion. The total world stock market cap is approx $95 trillion. $1 trillion is a relatively small amount when compared to both.

Okay. So adding 1 trillion dollars inflates the stock market but taking 1 trillion out won't deflate it. Got it. I guess that means the stock market is more manipulated than I thought.

If it is your agenda to purport that the stock market is a scam, a sucker's game or otherwise an abomination, then by all means, you have every reason to avoid it. But let's please not argue from the example of personal beliefs, to a recipe for what should be done in the aggregate.
The real solution, in my opinion, is to reduce or eliminate dependence on money, but that is easier said than done.
