Neither the Commodities Board nor the SEC have the right to create ownership or derivative value of the United States natural assets, be they geologic or otherwise intrinsic to the land and people of which the USA consists. SR-NYSE-2023-09 is to be thoroughly rejected lest the entirety of the USA becomes collateral owned eventually by those who wish us harm. This country was founded by people getting away from a monarchy which owned everything - let's not act as if the CB and SEC now stand in for monarchy. Regarding proposed NACs - I am in my seventies and have seen subtle changes over time in how our federal government has gone from 3 equal branches to one where an administrative state, controlled sometimes by the executive, determine policy for our lives. The policies of this administrative state are issued with the full weight of the government as if issued by congress, this without a single vote of my representatives in congress. This proposal concerning the creation of these NACs seems anything but what should be taking place in a representative government, but something out of a totalitarian nightmare which I would hope most Americans would totally reject. I would ask that you decline this flawed proposal that would only contribute to the demise of the nation as we know it.
