"Wall Street" is one entity, which first ruined the Roomba, then wanted to buy it, then blamed Lina Khan for not being allowed to buy it. Makes sense.




It is a single entity that contains multitudes. Some of those multitudes have contradictory intentions.

Just like you. When it happens to a person we call it "cancer".


Typically we don't say that someone with cancer is slowly committing suicide. Technically correct, perhaps, but it needlessly applies central autonomy where it doesn't really exist.

Wall Street actors almost universally love to describe the market as a singular entity, so they can hardly complain righteously.

Apparently it's not just "Wall Street" but "the market" which is a singular entity, which ruined the Roomba and then blamed Lina Khan and which can hardly complain about being described as a singular entity since it describes itself as such.
