This intricately detailed editorial cartoon for DailySnackNews! illustrates the inescapable grip of financial power through a tangled web of corruption and manipulation.

At the center, the crazy financial advisor writer is trapped in a massive spider web spun by a grinning Wall Street banker, labeled ‘Market Manipulation.’

All around him:

🕸 Politicians, hedge fund managers, and corporate executives sit comfortably in the web, pulling strings that control stock prices, interest rates, and public policy.

🕸 Small investors and workers struggle helplessly, ensnared in the sticky threads of inflation, debt, and economic uncertainty.

🕸 Every line in the web connects to hidden financial deals, backdoor lobbying, and wealth hoarding tactics.

The overlapping, interconnected lines emphasize how ordinary people are stuck in a system controlled by the ultra-wealthy.
