This is why, as I ranted about the other day, the Danish national news will gleefully & uncritically report on the "failure" & "slaughter" of Novo Nordisk, on account of losing a lot of stock value - nevermind that the company rakes in billions in profit from its business of actually selling medical products; the gamblers don't like it so the CEO & thousands of workers have to be fired...
It's utter, untenable insanity.
