What I really must also address here is a rather dark comment I made on this topic recently, amounting to “c’est la guerre”, a hand wave, and a plume of smoke. Not exactly progressive. So while somewhat surreal, it strikes me as not a completely doomed idea: contrive circumstance to provide a compelling ROI, both metaphorically for communities at large, but also in a literal business sense, for regulatory services for the arms and munitions industries.
When I was younger I remember understanding that murderous lunacy was mostly frowned upon, most all the time, and when it happened it was quite exceptional. Lately I’ve noticed, not only has this habit of violent abandon persisted, but seems to have actually gained in popularity. In my memory, rogue statesmen and stateswomen, cad soldiers, criminals, spies, these were known to on occasion succumb to the jingles of the murder carnival.
All we may have left to offer our children, by way of an explanation as to how things came to be the way they are, is that we conquered, and now run, the entire world with language games…

Trusted securities advisor ChatGPT says this is what we’ll hear from the Federal Reserve in their next statement (Note that ChatGPT has no information past September 2021): At the Federal Reserve, we are deeply concerned about the current banking liquidity crisis. We understand the challenges faced by financial institutions in managing their liquidity risk in the current environment of heightened uncertainty and volatility. To address this crisis, we are taking several measures to support the liquidity needs of banks and ensure the stability of the financial system.
