I've thought for a long time that most of the REEEEing about all this comes from people having an instictive-level reaction about the core concept: Something about 'betting that this company will lose/not do well' sets off people's sense of propriety or even decency, and doubly so if they're invested on the long side of the trade.
It's usually an educated bet, done through lots of research. Modelling their financial details, and sometimes even espionage involving contacts within these companies, and utilising hacks which allows the hedge fund groups to scan through emails. It's plain and old autism. Think about some of the autistic shit we do, but applied to shoddy scam companies instead.
Wall St. is the best gamba sesh ever. It makes me wonder if the people jumping through windows during the 1920's crash were really just old school Bossman Jacks that earthquake'd at their desk before punching through the quarter inch lead glass windows.
It reminds me of gamblers getting mad about other people betting the don't pass line in craps because you're betting against the roller.
The reason why shorting is a big balled play is unlike a normal investment, where you can lose all your money in the worst case, the potential loss is limitless in shorting and can greatly exceed the initial investment. (This is even more the case in so-called "naked" shorting but for good reason, that's almost always illegal.)
Probably the pennies she gets from her substack which she doesn't report to the IRS, who is currently and aggressively pursuing a $100k judgement against her.
Super late but Jackie, as usual, can't get anything right no matter how minuscule, that's HB's wife. Both Dan and Flavia wish Flavia had a rack this nice.
Jackie has speculated or stated (there’s a fine line between those two actions with her) that Dan trafficked Flavia and Mrs. Badger, or they trafficked each other, and they’re all trafficking more women via Flavia’s cleaning business. I hate when she gets going on Dan because it takes a lot of brain power to figure out what she’s getting at and it’s still all pretty boring because she’s so stupid. We’re max 2 weeks from her next scheduled poke at Mr. Mullen.
The feminine baritone is unpleasant but she can’t help that. She’s very fat and that is firmly in her control.
She's very stupid, though, and that isn't.
I can imagine Jax doing troon uwu voice classes and calling it ebin body hacking #transhumanism.

Trujillo wasn't a fascist, didn't come to power through democratic elections (he won 99% of the vote with more votes than voters in a rigged 1930 election after he seized power as the head of the military) and this anecdote is irrelevant anyway as the Trump case has nothing to do with official acts.
