We are at a crucial moment in history.
Capitalism has been corrupted. A few players have rigged the system to benefit only themselves, at the expense of the entire population of the world. A world which is on fire, by the way - literally, in too many cases.
The illegal naked short selling by the hedge funds on Wall Street has been exposed, laid bare by DFV and many other diligent 'apes' on Reddit. They are breaking the law. We all know it. But what can we do?
The time has come for the leaders of the world to make changes. But too many are beholden to the very predators, sorry, donors, who gave them the money to get elected in the first place. Money has corrupted politics beyond the ability of most people to govern judiciously. Too many compromises, gutted legislation, back-room deals, corruption. The money polluting the system has twisted it to the point where most governments are no longer serving their populations' basic needs. Healthcare? Sorry, not cost effective. Clean water? Not in the budget. Reversing Climate Change? Who's going to pay for it?
There is an opportunity here to make things new. To make things better. To undo decades of trickle-down extortion, thievery and embezzlement. Simply uphold the law.
Short selling is a risky tactic. Every introductory investing guide talks about the potential downside. Most even bold, capitalize and highlight the words : UNLIMITED EXPOSURE. The hedge funds and market makers have been making money off both sides of the transactions for decades and have become complacent about their fiduciary responsibilities. They've gotten cocky. They think they make their own rules and are beholden to no one. So far, that's true. Even though we KNOW that GME has been shorted beyond the number of shares that EXIST, the SEC has not frozen assets, made arrests, or stopped the naked short selling. But what could happen if they did?
The shorts must cover. That's the LAW. In order to do that, they have to buy shares. ALL the shares. EVERYBODY'S shares. At whatever price we demand. A million? Ten million? Whatever we say. Those are the rules. So, enforce them. Make Wall Street fork over every red cent they have to honour their obligations. They bet, and they lost. We'll take it ALL.
Then, tax us. Those are the rules, too. When you make money on the stock market, you pay taxes on your capital gains. So tax the gains. Fifty, sixty, hell, even NINETY percent. We apes will pay it. Cheerfully. Take the trillions of dollars that have been stolen from the people over the last fifty years and put it back in the Treasury. Then pay off the debt. Who will pay for it? You can. You can write a cheque and still have money left over. Start fresh. Anything becomes possible.
And let me be frank. You have a LEGAL OBLIGATION to do this. If you do not act, you are admitting before the world that the United States Government has no ability or appetite to uphold the rule of law. You will be admitting, publicly, with the whole world watching, that the American Experiment is a failure. That the system is rigged against the vast majority of its own people. That Democracy itself is a lie.
This system is coming down. One way or another. There is an opportunity to use this situation to make the necessary radical change to allow life on this planet to continue. You MUST take it. Because the end is coming.
