anime was right posted:thats kinda the gist of it i think. seems like it gives the government oversight to just ban stuff that has more than a million users? Ban and/or punish companies with applications specifically from a handful of countries, namely China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Venezuala (but only if under Maduro lmao), and of course Cuba (because why not), but could also be expanded to other "adversarial" countries My initial read is it's intended to squeeze Chinese and Russian tech companies out of the US market with security red tape

Vox Nihili posted:Also gives all this broad enforcement power to the Secretary of Commerce, which I thought was weird and kinda telling They pretty much have jurisdiction over like ALL imports and exports tbh. Like if a company makes anything on a huge giant list of things that COULD potentially be used in weapons or munitions or “critical” technologies there are all sorts of regulations one must abide by on pain of fines and prison. See EAR/ITAR There and in the case of the tik tok bill then actual enforcement is thru DoJ. Commerce just makes the lists / manages the process and reports non compliance to DoJ

See EAR/ITAR I guess this is similar by analogy. But no importation/exportation of goods is actually targeted here, it's more like electronic espionage.

It's not just state surveillance but if you can spy on your economic competitors because you control the network that gives your domestic (or favored) alternatives a massive advantage, which you are also then to freely invest in and profit from on a personal basis. Tiktok isn't a threat (except when it is) but if they can't read all the feeds with admin level access to get to the juicy goodness that is reason enough to shut it out.

oh look the FT is running a big story about a report, a collaboration by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, Havard Kennedy School, World Bank, and AidData (an institute at William & Mary sponsored by USAID and the MCC), melting down about the Belt and Road Initiative:quote:China grants billions in bailouts as Belt and Road Initiative falters quote:China has significantly expanded its bailout lending as its Belt and Road Initiative blows up following a series of debt write-offs, scandal-ridden projects and allegations of corruption. quote:China’s emergence as a highly influential “lender of last resort” presents critical challenges for western-led institutions such as the IMF, which have sought to safeguard global financial stability since the end of the second world war. quote:Rising global interest rates and the strong appreciation of the dollar have raised concerns about the ability of developing countries to repay their creditors. Several sovereigns have run into distress, with a lack of co-ordination among creditors blamed for prolonging some crises.  China catching up with IMF lending quote:However, there are big differences between IMF programmes and Chinese bailouts. One is that Chinese money is not cheap. “A typical rescue loan from the IMF carries a 2 per cent interest rate,” said the study. “The average interest rate attached to a Chinese rescue loan is 5 per cent.”

You really have to invent an entire galaxy of conspiracies to explain away this sort of data: 3d printing is the reason fentanyl-laced pills took off instead of increased availability of fentanyl now anyone with a 3d printer can download a mallinckrodt oxycodone 30mg pill press and make their own at home

I have a question about the banks: if deposits are only insured for up to a quarter million, why don't the billionaires spread their money around as many banks as possible and convert the rest into gold, silver, rare art and other miscellaneous treasure? Surely they have the resources to build their own Scrooge McDuck style money bins.

Surely they have the resources to build their own Scrooge McDuck style money bins. they didn't know that it was only insured up to a quarter million (FWIW, as an average joe I was keenly aware of what our own FDIC coverage limits were for local banks well before the SVB crisis, but I assume our media and banks and government exert marginally more effort in spelling it out in the fine print)

Rich people don't hold cash, they already diversify into stocks and property and things. Its businesses which need to be buying and selling things all the time or who have gotten mega profits but would be liable for some sort of taxation if they did anything with the cash which are holding vast deposits.

Surely they have the resources to build their own Scrooge McDuck style money bins. They did. There are(were) a bunch of services that do this and it was a really known risk / one of the bedrock risks of the financial deposit system. VCs were just too stupid to / correctly bet that the limit wouldn't be applied / are bad at capitalism. The thing I find most galling is that loving payroll company that hosed up their cash reserves is *still* around.
