And, in this case, doing nothing is the bad option.

It's almost like the rule is: If we don't fix the financial sector, any change for anywhere is change for the worse, because the banksters cream off all benefits.*

NOTE * I count single payer as part of "fixing the financial sector," because it would abolish the private insurance industry and return their rents to productive use -- like health care, for example.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
