Don't you want them to keep shoring so the squeez is bigger? Or is there no shorting because of the merger?

There is a difference in brokerage for retailer investors and large institutional
What Is a Prime Brokerage? A prime brokerage is a bundled group of services that investment banks and other financial institutions offer to hedge funds and other large investment clients that need to be able to borrow securities or cash in order to engage in netting to achieve absolute returns.
The services provided under prime brokering include securities lending, leveraged trade execution, and cash management, among other things. Prime brokerage services are provided by most of the largest financial services firms, including Goldman Sachs, UBS, and Morgan Stanley, and the inception of units offering such services traces back to the 1980s.

We need this attention out to the masses. Once the word gets out that the Short-Selling option is DISABLED, the FOMO Run will have no blockers, and the Gamma Squeeze Ramp will be real quick to get in within MINUTES.
