Josh Barro @jbarro has so much respect for his audience that he's explaining why this is all so bad, what is going wrong, and I think he deserves special credit for pointing out emphatically that this Gamestop stuff is bad FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CLAIMING VICTORY RN

There is an opportunity here, for education, for THOUGHT LEADERSHIP, to help protect your audience from grifters and thieves, but instead she's chipping in with the grifters and thieves and calling them good. This is just outrageously bad.
