Less-frequent earnings news --> not only more time for illegal activities, but also less-volatile markets and thus more-predictable and bigger jumps when Trump and his cronies manipulate securities prices through bonkers government action --> more profits for Trump and his cronies at public/market expense.

No one is getting you physically and mentally tested every 3 months, cause of the time and energy your family and community has put it into raising you or keeping you alive and flourishing into the future.

The way Wall Street works has so many built up issues like some grand old legacy system. People are just stuck within its super structure are like circus animals within a circus. The circus animal (both left and right) don't change how the circus works. The circus will die out in its own sweet time. Just like any living organism/complex dynamical system. It's born - grows - peaks - dies.

Therefore don't waste time and energy getting too over attached to impermanent things, especially ones reaching the end of their life cycles.
