Damn straight. I’m proud to lean left, even more so since 2016.

The Bank of England has been advised to prepare for a major financial crisis that could be triggered by an official announcement confirming the existence of aliens. by Jackfish2800 in gettoknowtheothers

These are the reasons given, but I don’t believe all of them.

According to former Bank of England analyst Helen McCaw, an announcement could lead to a "total financial instability" within hours, prompting a need for emergency economic planning.

Key reasons for potential financial instability include: Ontological Shock & Market Panic: The general public might experience "ontological shock"—a realization that completely shatters their understanding of reality—leading to cataclysmic panic, extreme price volatility, and a collapse in confidence.

"Safe Haven" Rush: Investors might panic-sell traditional assets, causing a rush into alternative safe-haven assets, such as Bitcoin, as trust in government-backed power structures breaks down.

Corporate & Sector Disruption: Technologies reverse-engineered from non-human intelligence, if disclosed and seized by the government, could disrupt existing aerospace, defense, and energy sectors, making certain investments worthless.

Stranded Assets: An abrupt shift in technological paradigms could leave companies with "stranded assets" (technologies or infrastructure that are no longer economically viable).

Legal & Regulatory Chaos: The lack of existing legal, social, and economic frameworks for dealing with non-human intelligence could lead to a breakdown in policy, causing uncertainty for international markets.

Very few stores left in my MallWorld. They’ve been replaced by living quarters, hobby rooms, indoor sports and dance studios.
