What a Hedge Fund turns into when the stocks theyve shorted get squeezed, forcing them to buy the stock back at much higher prices, often losing the billions and more they took from people by shorting the stock in the first place
Damn man.....that Hedge Fund that shorted that stock turned into a Wedgie Fund when they were forced to cover their shares they sold short. The Hedge Fund manager must feel like he's got a massive wedgie up his ass crack.

A system by which the government guarantees all employed persons in the entire nation will get a certain percentage of their income by the time they retire.
This system has been fairly functional up until recently, with current demographic shifts making most current models unsustainable unless states increase the age at which a person may collect their pension.
This has effectively made most of these systems into a literal political time-bomb in the countries in which they have been implemented because the taxes that must be levied against individuals and the companies that employ them to pay for such funds has made it so that only the ultra wealthy or very well off can feasibly keep a private retirement fund, meaning that with every year the government increases the retirement age they are effectively forcing most of the population to work longer than they want to/are able to, which is shockingly very unpopular with voters.

Wealthy CEO: Oh boy I’m sure looking to retire at age 50 and leave my company to my son/daughter so they may do the same exact thing.
Average Employed Person: Damn it’s going to suck ass working until I’m 70 only to retire and have the National Pension Fund recipient age raised to 71

Financial institution pretending to engage in high risk / high reward quantitative investment strategies but in fact trading on insider information to get ahead of the market.
"How did Joe afford that Lamborghini?"
"Oh, he works for a hench fund now. He's going to bed with the assistants of three different CFOs and using the information he gets that way to help his fund make out like bandits."
