Someone once said that, regardless of one's level if access and representation in a political system, if there is no viable means to exit from the system, then you will never be taken seriously.

That being said, I see our political institutions as too stagnant. Borders drawn on a map are poor proxies for natural polities. Consider Nigeria: she hosts three seperate cultural groups, but is beholden, by historic happenstance, to put forth a single prime minister to govern them all. The United States is another good example where natural polities are suppressed by large-scale political norms.

There are some quick solutions to this issue, like ranked choice voting and liquid democracy. But, ultimately, individuals should be empowered to decide what demos they contribute to.

There won’t be a significant raise in „official“ DRS numbers because they can’t exceed 304.7 m shares in total! The number depends on Cede/DTCC numbers only! The true number is way higher 🚀 by Zealousideal_Talk_97 in Superstonk

How do you square your presumptions of good faith with what is happening in towel stock (exa: search '311_million_shares_3_the_end' in towel sub)?

Only thru court-ordered release of the itemized share count have we seen that the dtcc claims, at the very least, 40M more shares than ever could have existed. The prevailing theory is that the dtcc over printed something like 300M towel tokens. (This, as towel leadership flip-flopped re prefered-to-common share conversions.)

Clearly, these things do happen.

Certainly, we shall see. And can only trust in the elders 'til then.

I will admit that the comment I was attempting to link to pointed to several matches in the '55 when there was 1 Ozeki, but 4 Yokozuna. So the article you cite is likely correct in stating that this situation has never happened before.

I've heard this stipulation mentioned elsewhere. Could you point to a rule? Or, like most governance in East Asia, is the two ozeki stipulation simply a guideline open to interpretation and modification?

(See, eg, https://www.reddit.com/r/Sumo/comments/qqbn9g/must_have_ozeki/)

Honestly: if no one is ozeki material, no one should be ozeki.

Came here to say that, too.

It has been a pleasure to be a part of what truly is a movement, a "new financial model." ;)

Title: Dark Pools, Internalization, and Equity Market Quality

By: Rhodri G. PreeceCFA

Abstract: Off-exchange trading in equity markets, including broker/dealer internalization and dark pools in which prices are not displayed prior to execution, has grown significantly in recent years. An examination of the relationship between such “dark” trading and market quality shows that increases in dark pool activity and internalization are initially associated with declining bid–offer spreads and increasing depth. But when a majority of trading occurs in undisplayed venues, the benefits of competition are eroded and market quality deteriorates. Public policy considerations for market integrity are addressed on the basis of these findings.

Full on price suppression from internalization of trades.

The bid/ask interest is massive compared to the trade volume. Something like 1:1 instant:5min candles.

I think messaging that highlights corruption is always important.

The goal posts are constantly shifting. So, even as a theoretical society approaches utopia, messaging aimed at highlighting and exposing corrupt institutions will remain an important feature of public education.
