"workflow" is distinct from "methods," which are substantive. HOWEVER: research workflows are important.. we must hone our tools to write and think, esp. because our lives and our time when we're *not working* are important too & our work matters 2/

this is because the same corporate execs decide when to execute buybacks BUT ..... don't have to tell the world that they've done so until months later
exec pay is largely based on the company's stock price --> you do the math 🧵2/n
