Just go back to needing futures to actually be fulfilled in kind.

And maybe limit/outlaw complex financial products.

These would be a solid start to fixing the issue of the unsustainable, and irrational, not to mention unconstructive economic growth of the last 60 years.

Establishes procedure, and there are different rules on what can be done with it (the government doesn't really care, as Snowdon and Manning showed us, but if it can be brought to court and maybe historically it can be shown to be a difference).

Also, there's the convenience for those implementing it. If it's more of a faff for them, it's more likely to fail.

But convenience is always a powerful compulsion, which is why it's leaned on and used a lot.

我的汉语越来越好,写,说,简单的没问题,但是比较复杂还要多的练习。其实说最近练习地不周到。

What was that saying?

"Trade privacy for convenience and you end up with neither"?

Released in the PRC, so no. Nothing sexy.

Just misogyny (and maybe some homophobia for good measure).

Probably the italicising of "sovereign", and the way you seem to be conflating zionism with banking.

The IDF, and Israeli government is ethnically cleansing Palestine. They have nothing to do with the banking system or how you share money though. So it looks like you're spouting antisemitic and far right gook.

The Scar, China Meiville - It's an epic journey and the clear best, in my opinion, of the Bas Lag novels. It has such weight and magic to the journey. Mystery too. It's a book that leaves you feeling like you want to feel more.

The Wild Girls, Ursula K Le Guin - a tale so emotional that I was broken for two days after reading it. Couldn't bring myself to read, or really do much except think about what I'd read.
Its about a slaving raid on a village near a city state, family, love, and gender.

Moves Like Jager, a song which I can not stand.

Thankfully not played everywhere anymore.

All three of these are songs that, I probably on paper should enjoy, but I think through over- (and mis-) use have come to despise them.

Top choices if limited to genres I listen to.

The Talking Parcel - I don't think I've found anyone else who's seen this. Girl finds a singing parcel washed up on the beach, opens it up and a parrot comes out and leads her to a magical world that's been conquered by cockatrices. She and the parrot need to save the land, and go on a magical quest.

Had it on video, taped off of the TV. Watched it regularly in childhood. Also episodes 1-3 of Terrahawks.
