To whom it may concern, As a taxpayer, citizen of the United States of America, and a retail investor, I urge the SEC to withdraw this proposal immediately and without delay. This proposal benefits the retail investor in no way, shape, or form, and is a disgrace. This administration has done nothing to stop systemic risk, naked shorting selling, PFOF, or dark pool trading abuse by those who wish to take price discovery away from our “free” and “fair” markets. The scheme to allow persistant Fail-to-Delivers and systematic equity shorting in this new rule will allow bad actors a "get-out-of-jail-free" card and hurt retail investors. I am hopeful the SEC will actually represent the interests of retail investors by striking down this rule. Sincerely, Max Powers
