I don’t know .md code so I’ll include what I would put in Redame.MD here

block 1: $: return the number corresponding to enum placement minus 1  
block 2: convert 0 to $ + add 0 tenths: returns a string of number plus math symbol and depending on if you added tenths, it will add "and _x_ tenths"Z  
block 3: set default number symbol to $: sets internal variable (in namespace economics) to number added  
block 4: default number symbol: returns default number symbol  
block 5: Microsoft: same as block 1  
block 6: get stonks from Microsoft: splashes corresponding message to added number  
you can look at the code for the rest
