*dingdingding* We have our winner!

As long as they run a transparent and efficient market, it doesn't matter who owns the stock exchange.
This is not accurate. If one can afford to do damage at one's expense and one wants to do damage, it can be arranged.

I'm not saying that's the case.

My overall feeling is very simple: it is intuitively unsafe to allow central economic institutions to be controlled by those who have the not at all far fetched potential of showing themselves not to be one's allie.

But the US has not come to such a conclusion apparently.
