I'm seeing a lot of articles and interviews referencing an issue with liquidity.
What does everyone think about this? Could we be on the verge of a total market collapse, if GME moons and the float isn't large enough to cover the open option interest? (And yes, the root cause are short-sellers & the system who put the entire market and everyone at risk to make a buck, and will likely get bailed out again).

The other option is a continuation of what we saw today, brokerages restricting/limited users from buying certain stocks & options to ensure they have enough liquidity. But we've already seen the outrage from this and I can only imagine the outrage if this were to happen again tomorrow. This is protest/riot/etc level stuff, if we get screwed again.
