Markets are Efficient if and Only if P = NP

The Fed isn't responsible for regulation and isn't a central bank like the bank of france or something. I immediately said, in that thread "if you mean the fed.." and explained why they have nothing to do with the noun regulation.

Thanks for the counter-condescension.

To the original point, they don't write regulation and it's hard to call a fixture of the last 80 years "regulation responsible for a recent incident", due to the fact that at some point there was a law.

Not sure if trolling. Either way, this is my last post in this silly thread of yours.

"reg·u·la·tion [reg-yuh-ley-shuhn] noun 1. a law, rule, or other order prescribed by authority, especially to regulate conduct. ..."
