This seems eerily familiar to last June/July. But it did finally break.
I guess until those HFT machines are busted

If by "busted" you mean destroyed, then yes, that's what it will take. Breaking them financially is never going to happen as they ARE the market now, despite Europe wising up and beginning to restrict them.
The American people were targeted to accept that they can do nothing about government corruption many years ago. I just know someone is itching to say to this post that the markets have always been corrupt. But they don't know how corrupt to understand that a much more powerful word is now needed. Justice delayed is justice denied. But now, there's not even any justice. Madoff was the 2008 fall guy when people, IMO, like The Lloyd and Jamie Dimon should be in the adjourning cells in the same prison. No one went to jail, so Wall Street crime increased. That's just the way any group will operate. It's why they tell new cops to not take a cup of coffee as they have found that corrupt cops were usually quite honest people. But things started out slowly and the road becomes a long one. So they want them away from that road and it starts with accepting nothing from anyone but their paycheck.
I guarantee these 8 minutes will open your eyes to the dangers we are in and allow you to place the pandemic corruption in context as we are in trouble and it might be too late.

I don't think the markets will be tradeable in 5 years, if not shorter, due to taxes, regulations, and lack of participants. In researching a novel I came across the above link. It all keeps coming back to a complete lack of moral standards just as planned. So the crime will continue. Yes, there has always been crime. But nanosecond crime is the greatest we have seen with a compliant SEC that is instructed to do nothing to the key players as oligarchs are protected. If anyone hasn't read "The Quiet Coup" by former IMF president Simon Johnson I urge you to read the 10 pages available at The Atlantic online. A manipulated higher stock market does not an economy make. But it can lay the groundwork for an economic collapse that cannot be contained. When? I wish I knew, and I wish he were wrong. History speaks that he will not be.
