Subject: File No. SR-NYSE-2023-09
From: Karen Raines

I am staunchly opposed to another entity's having dominion over our country's land, air, water, or any other resource, if only because to do so would compromise our independence, our safety, and our future. How could allowing for the control over any of America's precious resources to be turned over to an entity that already has or could potentially in the future have hostile intent towards our citizens possibly benefit us or be in our best interests, in any way? Obviously, such a proposal harbors far too great a risk to even consider. I respectfully object to such an act and request that the SEC resist the creation and development of NACs (Natural Asset Companies).
