While it should indeed go without saying that such pilfering is unsustainable, you did in fact (say it) write it.

But that ponzied flimflam is almost irrelevant, Lauren, considering the state of the world.

It's ALL unsustainable. Those billion and trillion $ debits are nothing more than electrons shooting around designating who gets a bunch and who gets a pinch. Get in line and see what you can wrangle out of the system.

Apart from that, what is most essential for the maintenance of our society is: every able person ought to do whatever is necessary to provide for him/herself and those for whom (s)he cares and loves.

Even so, I commend you for your research. I exhort you to follow through, as you see fit, to do the right thing in all that you discover.

Keep up your diligent work, and keep writing about it, even if you are unable to correct all the misappropriation that goes on this corrupt world.
