Shut down and ignore the stock markets. They are irrelevant to daily life. In fact we can take that money and put it to use for helping people that need it. There's enough there for the world over, right now, this second, just hit the button, and done, all that fundage is in a different folder.

Unfortunately they have been given a blank check, amounting to over 2 trillion, all at the drop of a hat, while we have to wait while congress bickers and babbles.

And still not even the slightest hint that people will lift a finger and vote them out. They'll just keep blaming the Russians

Edit:
There's over 30 trillion of "debt" in the stock market. Not exactly chump change. Freeze it right now! Before they can run off with it, like we are letting them do. That's the money to use. That's the government debt to cancel. And if we put an end to usury, we will gain much more than we lose.

    Thanks to RS3 for bringing this to my attention! A little DB surgery and things look right again. =)

      You did some great experimenting and data gathering that will help coders to figure out how to fix it. If it's fixable. :)

      Thanks!

    Thank you as well. I guess this kind of striking power just goes to my head. :)
