I'm happy to start a new thread/discussion on both the merits and the flaws of the "stock market" - I'd actually probably agree with you on a wide variety of points.

I'm not trying to deflect or distract, you are missing my entire point. I do not argue to attack the stock exchange, I argue to attack the argument itself. No government has ever tried to outlaw the NYSE because "it wastes too much energy" just for a financial instrument and everything negative that come along with it. Do you even question that? I am saying the entire argument is disingenuous.
