The market does not always go up It can also crash as we saw in 2008 and 2009. Market gains only happen if investors are willing to take risks.

...but capital formation is largely not through banks

There was a time, some 20 years ago or so, when I could count on bank interest rates for CDs or around 5%. Gone are those days, and so, people need other places to put their money to earn more money, and the market is one of those places.

Dow hasn’t changed much since end of April ‘21. All of Joe Potato’s gain happened the 1st 3 months, since then nothing.

Yep, goes up 350, drops 350 next day, then rises 200 and then drops 200 day after.
It has been stagnant for a long while.

Can’t help but wonder how much, if anything, has this chump done for the “have nots”?

My family fed and clothed the homeless and took in prisoners to help them get back on their feet; during the Depression my grandmother fed the hobos.

My guess is, give or take the next roll-out — which his likely to be a new, higher-end Mac Mini, and/or spec bumped or new, higher-end M1 Pro iMacs — the stock will blow by $181 on its way to $225-ish.

Investors are always willing to take risk, even when they stampede out of various individual issues. Unless the exchange suspends trading on the shares, it's obvious that buyers of sliding stocks are willingly taking greater risk.

The only real crash I've seen in my lifetime 9and that includes the COVID-related shutdowns-related pucker) was the 1987 crash.
