Mr. Mambold posted:That's where Clinton shot herself in the foot with a cannon. This is Progressive Government talk and walk; and she just left all those rust belt and coal belt blue collar idiot without a net to be scooped up by Shitstain. Goddamned poor decision. This is the opposite of reality. Job re-training was a big part of the platform. There was even a minor scandal when she said that coal was dead and that people need re training. The news and the Sanders people just repeated the dead coal part for weeks. Nobody bothered to read the Clinton platform. I'm from a lovely little dead town and anyone left 15 years after the plant closed is human debris. Humanity is better off snuffing them out. There's also hella Nazis there. Kill all Nazis. Kill their parents too if you get a chance.

Buckle up for the financial system to take an astonishingly huge poo poo soon, it turns out the LIBOR, commonly used as the base interest rate for mortgages, credit cards and other loans the world over not only was being manipulated but the thing it was supposed to measure even when working properly doesn't exist. As many as 60% of outstanding loan contracts worldwide could be subject to renegotiation or litigation if that specified benchmark ceases to exist. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/taibbi-is-libor-crucial-financial-benchmark-a-lie-w497305

But she and her staff assumed the rust belt would be on board by default and never bothered talking about it. She did talk about it. Very, very poorly. shame on an IGA posted:Buckle up for the financial system to take an astonishingly huge poo poo soon, it turns out the LIBOR, commonly used as the base interest rate for mortgages, credit cards and other loans the world over not only was being manipulated but the thing it was supposed to measure even when working properly doesn't exist.

milk milk lemonade posted:Eh. This seems really sensational to be honest. agreed. i am pretty sure the market is going to crash (because it does that from time to time) but i don't think this is going to be why. will a bank that does a home loan for 3.2% suddenly have to do it for 2.3%? maybe i'm not reading it correctly though, but it seems like the "fake" rates they have been using were based on arbitrary numbers to begin with.

I think they're saying that its been kept artificially low for a long time. Since it being "low" has been a marker for high market trust and confidence in stability a lot of optimistic investment happened. That combined with the fed keeping american loan rates also low means there is a lot of capital floating around that probably shouldn't be. If you're business has a billion in loans and suddenly you owe an extra point every month on that bill you've suddenly found yourself with no cash flow.

Yeah the idea of blaming Biden for any part of this is kind of revolting. The man's been through tragedy after tragedy in his life, and worked hard as the VP. He's earned a break from the shitshow in Washington.

If you're business has a billion in loans and suddenly you owe an extra point every month on that bill you've suddenly found yourself with no cash flow. Artificially low based on what though? That's what I wish the article got into a little bit more, because it said LIBOR was based on speculation to begin with. Then it got into market confidence, which is also relatively arbitrary. Also RE: Joe Biden. This interview is pretty tough for me to watch tbh, but it gives me some insight on why he didn't run. Dude just didn't have it in him, and I don't blame him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwmMPytjrK4

Smiling Jack posted:the world financial markets are a giant shared hallucination pretty much. the news isn't LIBOR is all made up because anyone with an ounce of critical thinking sees that our entire financial system is musical chairs. the news is that someone actually mentioned it publicly and the biggest fear the rich have is that everyone else figures out its all bullshit.

My neighbors are buying a home. I hate to lose good neighbors since you don't really know what you're getting with renters. Maybe I can scare them with some buzzwords like LIBOR and upside down on your mortgage and variable interest.
