I assume we can all do the arithmetic. In the market, stocks will move based on price increases, since cost inputs are assumed to not move, or rarely move - COVID being an exception to the rule.

My sweet summer child. Price increases are margin increasing events.

Putting out a low-quality report?

It just ruins their reputation as a reliable short-seller. It's short-sighted. They had good reports until now.

Wells Fargo took advantage of black people and minorities, I wouldn't call them the criminal demographic. They were also the victims.

Did anyone read the report? The summary is quite short. Seems like a nothing-burger.

Well then customers won't get any interest. And therefore you will have no customers. And therefore no deposits.

On the money. Nuclear is too expensive and fragile, especially in this political environment. Also much more susceptible to sabotage in the event of a war, which is becoming a more relevant reality.

Yeah, reading the post made it seem like they followed “best practices” without really thinking things through. KISS.

That's why both sides get experts.
Your reasoning is extremely reductive – I can't tell if you're just trying to win an argument here. You could say people will be misleading about anything. Your doctor, the police, the DMV clerk. At some point, you have to recognize you live in a society, and society is built on some level of trust and fairness.

In court, you bring in experts (usually professors from reputable universities) to state best practices. Judges don't act as experts in a trial.

Besides preventing conflict, globalization was supposed to increase democracy in the world. Increasing trade relations with China was in part to make them more democratic, as the theory was the more prosperous a nation is, the more democratic they become. I think we got it backwards.
Now we know it doesn’t work, and this historic reason for globalization is moot.

Stealing disks does happen, especially on-premise, which is where these policies originated.
Also, sometimes there are mistakes with decommissioning old drives, and you wouldn’t want your data discovered in a landfill somewhere.

Ah, I see. That’s unfortunate. 3 years definitely requires a lot of resources.
They’ll have a monopoly for a bit then. Would ‘t be surprised if Robinhood dips their toes in.
