Central phenomenon: Sales by one institution trigger price depreciations, violating other institutions' leverage constraints, who then need to sell in turn. This leads to a cascade. Low prices may further incentivize runs on an asset.
Model: Institutions each hold a portfolio of different assets. The asset × institution relation forms a network of overlapping portfolios. Institutions strategically sell their assets, maximizing equity and satisfying a leverage constraint. Equilibria are static (no timing).

No hastags = normal tweet.
1 hashtag = sarcastic tweet.

One issue is that people really only need one dose at a time, so individual quantities will be very small, making the whole op a bit inefficient. OTOH there should be comparatively large willingness to pay, so it's prob fine.
Wow. This was by far my most successful tweet yet. I take from this that I should def be tweeting more about politics right?? What could possibly go wrong?!
The problem with larger-than-life public figures is: they're just not.

Nature suggests I cite people based on gender. Isn't that kind of... the opposite... of where we want to go?
Not sure who is getting trolled here, but this is a thing of beauty! 😂😂

Thank you @sciam for publishing my article on the problematic nature of Star Wars and the term “Jedi”.
I am particularly grateful that I was allowed to use five pseudonyms, one for each of my genders.
