>past a certain price point it becomes a societal problem
It's already a societal problem. Privatizing profits and publicizing losses has been going on for hundreds of years.
>Do you think they are going to let anyone have billions on tap
"Let" isn't in the cards. We own bottles of water and they are dying of thirst.
>Infinite naked shorting doesn't matter the government will ignore the rules
The people who bribe them to ignore the rules are going broke.
>This isn't even price anchoring
It's literally price anchoring.
>Not allowing the "free market" will break trust in US but so will having hundreds of thousands of holders get billions
If trust is broken, other countries will never do business with them again. It would mean the end of America as a country.
>They are stuck between a rock and a hard place, but one of the options is more favorable
The more favorable option is to let these institutions implode and have the new owners (us) acquire them and conduct business as usual.
>I have a stack I will never sell no matter the price
Me too.
>They will propose some mechanism to minimize the damage
The mechanism will probably be meetings full of lawyers who negotiate the transfer of assets instead of capital.
>I don't think the payout scale will be linear with respect to how many shares you have
It will depend on your will to hold and your ability to negotiate. Having more shares just makes it easier to get what you want.
>The 10k share or such holders will have other deals given to them to not piss off already rich people
Those people won't be rich at the end of this.
>The "trust" in the US financial market is not trust that a set of rules must be followed in all circumstances
If other countries can't trust the US, they will be forced to pull out of our economy.
>2008 showed that the US will uphold status quo and stability no matter how the rules are twisted
2008 was a colossal bailout. They didn't break any of the rules, they just publicized the losses.
