"Plan versus book" is a misnomer. "Plan versus DRS" is a more accurate term for the distinction
2y 5mon ago in drs_your_gme@lemmy.whynotdrs.orgYeah, it's pretty confusing - and one would think there would be a push to make it much easier to understand with language that didn't make it so confusing. The cynic may say the language and wording is purposefully misleading/confusing.
In case anyone isn't clear on why there are so many problems in the U.S. - read the first line of the disclaimer.

2y 5mon ago in drs_your_gme@lemmy.whynotdrs.org from lemmy.whynotdrs.orgFor anyone just kinda happening across this post and not sure what's being talked about, this is related to the stock market.
Basically, it's possible for large hedge funds to create and even sell "phantom" AKA counterfeit shares - and then when someone calls them on the fraud, they can just kinda say, "Whoops! Our bad! We're just going to reverse the whole deal and pretend it never happened. :)"
There's more in-depth info at this website here - which isn't very pretty or expensive/professional by any means, but is well-sourced and straight-forward.
The message vs the data
2y 5mon ago in drs_your_gme@lemmy.whynotdrs.org from lemmy.whynotdrs.orgLol this is pretty good. It's a little confusing, though, and could use a little simplification, perhaps? Either way, I like it!

No, the problem is not really "inflation."
2y 5mon ago in drs_your_gme@lemmy.whynotdrs.org from lemmy.whynotdrs.orgI see you already have an answer. Another ~relevant answer would be "most of them."
Don't forget: this happened THIS year - largely spurred by Wall Street and CEO demand for profits, no matter the cost

2y 5mon ago in drs_your_gme@lemmy.whynotdrs.org from lemmy.whynotdrs.orgI'm all about starting an AIG. I think that's, very likely, vital at this point. My guess is the board and executive team would welcome it.

2y 5mon ago in drs_your_gme@lemmy.whynotdrs.org from theconversation.comI really, really appreciate this post. Good stuff. It's one of those things what I had kinda felt or sorta knew, but couldn't or hadn't tried to articulate (did I really know, then? maybe not).
hey remember when the panama papers came out and revealed that all the rich people in the world are a part of enormous criminal conspiracy...?

2y 6mon ago in drs_your_gme@lemmy.whynotdrs.org from www.wsj.comIf the bulls win, then GameStop continues to provide value to customers –– and potentially enters into emerging markets like NFTs (positive sum).
I think it could be effectively argued that it's far, far, far bigger and important than merely that.
On one hand we have truth, honesty, fairness, transparency, delight, and general good-will - the bulls.
On the other hand, well... the opposite of all those ideas/concepts - the bears.
Do the "good guys" always win? Well, no - not really. Nevertheless, the bulls really, really need to win at this point in time and history. The planet and all the people and other inhabitants on it, more so now than any other time in all of humankind - due to sheer population and power concentration and associated groupthink and associated incestuous ideation & leadership - need a sort of cataclysm and explosion of what the bulls represent.
