Dismantling the SEC would explain the jump in Tesla share prices last week. Cantor Fitzgerald published a ridiculously favorable analysis with a $400 share price target. With the SEC non-functional, the chances of anyone getting caught in a pump-and-dump scheme become miniscule.

See also the White House directive to end ownership reporting on shell companies. Makes insider trading on tariff news really easy.

I disagree with the idea that a bad die roll should turn a great speech by a player into a terrible speech by a character.

The point of gaming is fun. A great speech by a player is fun, and deserves recognition. If the game rules offer rewards like the "bennies" of _Savage Worlds_, a great speech with a terrible die roll might be rewarded with a bennie.

"That was a great speech; take a bennie. But for some reason the guard took it wrong. 'Well you sure are a fancy talker, but I'm still not taking your bribes. Well, actually, I'm taking it, as evidence against you.' "

If the rules don't provide anything like bennies, a great speech should mitigate bad dice.
