alt Hacker NewsYes. There are too many people entire retirements on the line to hide behind the usual song and dance people do around this. What's the alternative. Let them proceed, the bubble burst, tank the market, then have the poorest and least equipped people to manage a recession just suffer? This is exactly what a government for the people could do. Or we could just keep letting rich assholes destroy everything with no consequences.

Don't buy shares of companies you don't like. Also don't buy etf and then cry about the companies included in the etf. Problem solved.
The poorest least equipped people don't have money in the market. Are you suggesting the SEC is capable of stopping a recession from occuring?
Maybe the stock market shouldn’t be people’s retirements?
Pretty gross seeing this kind of paternalistic view get so much agreement on HN. The "poorest and least equipped people" are invested in the stock market? Give me a break.
> What's the alternative.
The alternative is don't invest in them?
Or, if you are this certain that they are going to fail, then short their stock. You could make millions.
The "the usual song and dance people" of letting people choose what to do with their money. Sure bud.
Do you really expect to learn something that you don't already know by making Anthropic do two quarters of audited financials? What happens then? Come up with another reason for delay?
