**2010**

- [1558614-021](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/1558614-021) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Because U.S. companies historically financed themselves through markets rather than through each other, U.S. managers are less attuned to risks accumulating at other firms, a blind spot that mattered once swaps and other complex instruments made firms directly vulnerable to each other's conditions.
  > Historically, U.S. companies have relied on markets for financing more than they have relied on each other, meaning U.S. managers are perhaps less aware than they should be of the risks that are being incurred by companies other than their own.

  > Through LERs, consumers are enabled to earn equity-like voucher loyalty rewards through routine participation in metaverse or retail e-commerce ecosystems. LER, thus, create a new market for tokenized dividends.
