   I'm being facetious but also maybe not: why don't you take a 40min bus trip around the neighbourhood and return home before you start your WFH schedule?

   > the market is working exactly as intended I'm not saying that's what you're saying, but a lot of people tend to treat the market as intrinsically morally correct. As in, if something is the outcome of the market working

    I see the appeal in using the return as a way of judging the bet, but I think it's too simplistic. Reason #1: In investing, you can do everything right and still lose money. This is because there is never certitude, and you can only pl

    I think what set CHOP/CHAZ apart was that they actively tried to self police. Violence monopoly is a common definition for a state. I don't recall Occupy Wall Street having their own policing task force (maybe they did and I'

    "wrong" is a very loaded word to use in this context and it's not clear what you mean. Wirecard short sellers were "right" (as in their thesis was corect) for many years before the stock price reflected their belief

    > basically been free money for the last several months Can you please not say stuff like that? You're only calling it "free money" with the benefit of hindsight. And even then, it's still not "free", since

    Every public company CEO complains about shorts. It's because short sellers depreciate the stock value by a. creating more supply b. signaling the stock price is overvalued. Both of these things annoy those whose compensation is strong
