So you are saying Biden's massive influx of money to depositors with accounts above the federally insured amount was a bad idea. Hmm. That's literally spending our way out of their bankruptcy. I mean I don't really like it either because all banks should be contributing more to insuring things don't go pear shaped but here we are. I'm kind of fond of the money I've saved in my retirement account, most of which is invested so I'd rather not see the financial system collapse. I'm also fond of other people having enough money to retire, but maybe whatever individual situation you are in makes you think differently.


To be clear, the gov and taxpayers didnt fund anything, at least not directly. The FDIC, which collects funds from banks, will cover the amount above the standard $250K insurance. 
Indirectly, people will pay for it if you are bank shareholder or even depositor. 

These failures were avoidable...whether through regulation, or simply more common sense by those who ran the banks...complete failure of internal risk management.

Besides, you more than most know that Climate Change is the biggest and most immediate danger to life as we know it.  Everything else takes a back seat to saving the planet.

One of the few good lines in "Shotgun Wedding" was from Jennifer Coolidge "I'm a mother. I can worry about more than one thing at a time."

The reason the banking crap hit the fan is everybody panicked and did a run on the bank. Aka It’s a Wonderful Life.

It's about what is allowed to be taught, read or even mentioned, in Public Schools.
How far will this weaponization of Christianity be allowed to impose its political and personal agenda on the entire Country?
When did we, as a Nation, decide that particular religion - used to conquer and colonize the globe often with slaughter and torture - become a misused Leviathan again? Don't we all like to think we are more evolved than to allow those horrors to happen again?
To have no Belief System Govern is the very cornerstone of this Nation.  We minimize this at our peril.



When? In my lifetime, I started to really notice it when the evangelical right started to push to legislate the bedroom a long time ago. Politics have no business in my body or bedroom no matter the party or group think system.

maybe the latter. 
no, it's about the advent of AI making just about every field I work in redundant.
If I'm lucky, I'll just manage to slide into retirement without having to think of some other way to run a business. 
It's going to be three long years.  This year looks almost sorted, so two to go.
