        other countries financial markets are much more locked down relative to the US, especially after 2000-2008. or when they do allow for the real degenerate stuff…they try and limit the damage to just other gambling degenerates

        naked shorting especially, banned or heavily restricted in most countries now…because…why the fuck should anyone be able to sell something they domt have again? which is still pretty much a free-for-all in the US.

        this is by design though, our unregulated financial markets is why the US acts is the world center for “finance”. our markets essentially act as the worlds largest casino, where all the richest degenerates come to gamble trying to make their lines go up more than everyone elses.
