A couple of years ago, Forbes reported that 400 billionaires owned 1/2 the capital assets in the U.S. In the face of this, I think AP may have a problem with scale: How many small investors does it take to redirect AP profiteers away from targets chosen by factions among the ruling class, beginning with anyone suspected of operating the AP infrastructure and/or promoting it effectively to a wide audience of participants? If an AP lottery is not "fair and honest" by allowing anyone to be targeted regardless of occupation or etc., how long until ones that do allow any human to be bet on appear, with inflated bounties on perceived enemies of the ruling class? Mind you, AP is a frightfully clever idea. :o) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJXgbCjAAoJEECU6c5XzmuqGZoIAICNaiMWRFIzrIIANUs2YC+w XtdUCCMgv0SIWiV+Xs5n7bpuTh4pyPBPdwT0nH13AJaGph9PBGSIUbFgWObP9v+3 jSqG9c9g04kXPA2FkVImS5d8LqiPH0kwfRBfjTKT2Hw51C5yw3t9i7ZKjAfShi2R +fhEKStDfM+ED9XvakbPu5bmCEOXg8hMFWOX4LZUAL1J7x+cnR8xTXCiEhnzAxqg h0E4w8SsMf+bOhIHdbZcDHIbGyCrMAyUtvj/LQ/j+2ZZHIlXtsxbpIWvJWxl5VVA lfnJV2Yy7vguQ8KlMBcPKMzxJgqPmQIlpg7/0KKZh743f0LYINfATpTtIwijIkw= =QHtt -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
