Evidently this cute comment was not understood by some.

Barry Nalebuff’s Intro to Negotiation is pretty fantastic. Had you negotiating against strangers in well-designed scenarios, then getting feedback from others on the recordings.
Perry Mehrling’s course on Money and Banking is good too.

In Canada, furniture pillows always come with a New Material Only tag, indicating that recycled textiles have not been used. I assume this is regulated and has been in place since the dawn of time.

By "income", parent is referring to employment income. But their true income is the real estate investment of their primary residence, which nearly doubles their income.
They are borrowing $300k I guess (1.5m + 0.2m, less 1.4m), and will likely sell their new house for far more than $1.5m when they sell again in another dozen years.

140% of stock /issuance/, not outstanding. Shorting stock creates new stock. Once all shorts are closed, the 100% of issuance is still outstanding and someone's holding it. Not everyone can get out!
