 Dear SEC,

There should be NO exceptions due to \"liquidity\".

I would rather pay fees and have price transparency, as a household investor, than having an opaque system where I need to \"just trust me, bro\" the market makers.

The FTD (failure to deliver), that are already VERY frequent, are a bad enough sign I cannot trust these exceptions for the excuse of \"Liquidity\".  If they provide the liquidity, how can they fail to deliver?  A clear missing link needs exposure. Providing exemptions for ABS under the guise of \"liquidity\" is intentional obfuscation, and is a lie at best.

Thank you for working towards a system that works for everyone.

Sincerely,

Dustin Best
