As a Retired, Disabled Veteran of the U.S. Army, CEO of my own company and retail investor in the market.

The SEC should immediately approve of and enable NSCC-2021-801, and immediately implement this rule to restore confidence in the market for the retail investor for years to come. Institutions that manipulate the markets should be held fully accountable for their actions.
