<<<You see prosectuing systemic fraud as squandering our chips??>>> Prosecuting fraud is a mundane forever type of activity. Nothing ever changes. There will always be clever people skating the slippery slope. Corruption and fraud has been with us from the beginning of time. I don't see any immediate remedy. What is happening with this transfer of wealth to the superwealthy and the economic enslavement of the masses is a once in generations existential struggle for social justice and the greater good. There is much more at stake. Besides, if the proper structural changes are made for the greater good of the masses - the 99% - the reduction of fraud and corruption could be a substantial by product. It is not that I am out to get the 1%. There will always be a top 1%. They will be able to take care of themselves. They can adjust to living with a little bit less.
