I am a retail investor. 


There are millions of us against this rule change. We need something good to happen, we need the right thing to be done. Someone has to keep the criminals at bay, keep the manipulation under control. If you won't stop it the least you have to do is control it. Letting them short a stock without consequence cannot be allowed. Griffin already said supply and demand don't dictate the market, he openly said he does, don't allow them to operate with impunity. 


Shorts need to close their positions. You're supposed to protect retail. On paper, that's why you exist.
