<p>I’ve heard a lot of denialists push the Tonga volcano and resultant water vapor in the stratosphere as evidence that climate change is more complex than we understand.<p>I always whole heartedly agree that it’s very complex, but we do know introducing novel gases to various parts of the atmosphere is generally chaotic and something to be avoided when we can.</p>

<p>Everyone here is complaining about the nature of the proposed natural experiment and I’m just here thinking “where are the pockets on OP’s clothes?”<p>Phones are stored primarily in front pockets that are <i>nowhere near</i> the colon in terms of biology (almost everyone has relatively dense meaty quads and femurs between the thigh and colon) or the inverse square law.</p>

<p>A <i>huge</i> aspect people ignore is how <i>expensive</i> it is to handle cash. From storage, administration, transportation, loss, etc. it's usually a little more expensive to take <i>cash</i> vs. card.<p>This is why your grocery store partners with an ATM network to let you take out extra cash at the POS.  As long as you're paying the fee, they'll do <i>whatever they can</i> to trade you cash for a digital deposit into their bank account.</p>

<p>Yes.  I agree.  That was the point I was making.<p>I'm not saying the company is committing securities fraud, I am saying that if the company created a scheme as described by the commentor I was replying to, then <i>that</i> would be securities fraud.</p>
