Why the fuck is this considered acceptable? Why should I listen to any boffin who refuses to release his data? It's not exactly difficult to upload a couple files to your damn website.

It's not even a corporate conspiracy... it's the markets demand for politics to be entertainment... not something based on empirical data.

But what about shops like CNBC ? They get lots of ad revenue from the FIRE industry.
