Sigh, sometimes, I wonder if I should even bother pointing it out....
Schwab is such an evil creature, that he's the clickbait artist's wet dream.
The tweet here has: "SOURCED from a clickbait site" all over it.
But almost NONE of the comments here even question it. Sauce (of the assertions)? None.
In fact, if you track the actual tweet down, You'll see a relevant community note pointing out that Schwab says no such thing in the tweeter's own material (videos etc).
The fact that this is so obviously clickbait (persuasive assertions feeding directly into emotionally triggering subjects and biases but with no real, solid saucing or basis beyond "assertion") and no one here even bothers to question - I always find that disconcerting.
To the extent that GAW pedes fail to man up and start actually applying some Q-ish methods (checking emotional reactions, applying logic, research, verification, empirical review, and a focus on INTEGRITY of information), well, we're part of the problem that we purport to actually want to solve.

Sigh.
It's going to be a loooong 2nd half of 2023.
Sigh, at some point I just think: "Maybe I should just give up."
