I trust Tik Tok with my data more than any other social media company. China at least isn’t as capable of actionable use of it on me as my own government is.

Vox Nihili posted:If those are long-term securities (they are) and you hit a relatively high interest rate, inflationary environment (such as today), the banks find themselves locked into a really bad deal. They're going to be paying more in interest to depositors than they're gaining on their garbage securities, and they can't unlock that value without taking a huge hit on selling them. I don't know if that kills the bank outright but I think they're supposed to be in the business of making money and accruing capital. They can usually make up for that by being able to charge more interest on the loans they make (and any variable rate instruments they have issued in the past). The real major problem comes if you have a ton of depositors who want all their money out at the same time and, like you pointed out, you have to sell the "garbage securities" at a heavy discount to get the money quickly enough.

Been that way for centuries.

euphronius posted:are any USA social media popular in China pretty sure not, even their version of Tiktok is a different site and different content pool The population of the US is becoming a real problem in relation to global buying power of people in other countries and I don't see why anyone would play ball with us in a situation like this anymore - there's just not that much to gain, especially when your national agenda is opposed to the US' in the first place

I mean, they said it was bad law now, but if I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you think the conservative majority wouldn't just apply the same kind of analysis again if this country had a big security panic again.

Think my favorite attack on tik tok was that the US version makes people stupid while the Chinese version has guidelines to at least direct users towards educational things. Ignoring that the US version of tik tok is just exactly what all other US social media does and makes Americans stupid. China not using social media to make their citizens brain dead was seen as unfair or devious in some way. Raccooon has issued a correction as of 02:14 on Mar 16, 2023 |

Regardless of how you feel about social media, or the Chinese government, it's absolutely not Joe Brandon's place to tell us that we can't access certain social media sites because the fossils in congress still think we're in the middle of the Cold War.
