The cumulative loss to CVS's and Walgreens's market caps has been about $12b. If Amazon had wanted to, they likely could have made more from the destruction of value to those companies than they paid to buy PillPack. I wonder what

So, you think that giving them access to fewer resources designed to help identification is the better way to go?

I'm not sure why you think these things are mutually exclusive. And as far as Goodhart's Law is concerned in this case, they're intertwined concepts. The government's choice to allow securities rated by S&P/Mood

I wish more people knew and understood this concept. It's important to know the impact that you have on a system, especially at large scale. Decades after Goodhart made this law, we still have shoddy credit risk measures that put tens

Hence my use of the word 'secretly'. Also, it would only take one particular rich/narcissistic employee to make up all of it if he wanted to secure a few billion dollars of his net worth for the future.

That's a lot if they're talking about truly naked shorts. The only way I can see a number like this and think it's not a complete disaster is that these aren't really naked shorts. I can certainly see a situation where t
