That stocks in retirement accounts are lent out to short sellers against a small fee is not a wild claim? It's ubiquitous and routine. And no, it's not at a price agreed upon by both parties. The owners of the stocks have zero say in any of it.

(and, despite creative rhetoric to the contrary, there's no world in which doing so is in their best interest)
