Buffer posted: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. Payroll companies are constantly loving poo poo up. I'm a developer for one of the really big ones and I'd say about half of it is reasonably built, relatively recent software and the other half is legitimately COBOL programs written 30-40 years ago or terrible Swing apps that no one understands. They've been trying to convert some of that stuff but keep blowing past their deadlines for reasons. Anyways I've not received my paycheck multiple times over the years and I work for the company making the software that pays me.

super sweet best pal posted: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. billionaires have all of their money in investments, which are not insured and they know it, because that makes them far more money than parking it in a checking account and/or money market fund. large companies have their accounts spread out and their own insurance to make sure that one bank failure does not create issues. small companies stick their money in one account and hope, because it's a giant pain in the rear end to manage multiple accounts, so you need to hire a service to do it for you, and that can cost a shitload. there still is no incentive to do that even after the SVB failure, because if you are now scared, it is far cheaper and far easier to just switch to bank of america.

there are roughly 4000 fdic insured banks, so at. 250,000 there is a hard cap of 1 billion you can have (could have had) insured in basic bank accounts

Surely they have the resources to build their own Scrooge McDuck style money bins. They're too lazy, dumb and cheap. But mostly their wealth and connections guarantees that they never have been held accountable for their failures and never will. The bailouts are guaranteed, so why bother wasting effort on diversifying or insuring your deposits.

Spoondick posted:3d printing is the reason fentanyl-laced pills took off instead of increased availability of fentanyl I cant tell if you're joking or just repeating some "legislate against micro manufacturing" astroturfed garbage but farrrrrrrrrrt You could buy machined aluminum pill presses off ebay until recently and they have been available on the clear web since forever. Pill pressing at home was never hard. A 3d printer costs ten times what a pill press costs.

Goons swallow up all of those right wing propaganda without even noticing it lmao. DRUGS are killing our children! No, gun violence is what is killing our children! No, no, car accidents is the number one causes of children! And if you look at the numbers ever so slightly, they're all correct.

Drug policy is the perfect American ideological synthesis. Grabs from both the deregulate and destigmatize instincts. And number of course always goes up.

https://twitter.com/lines_down/status/1640723253625774081 also today France raided 5 banks who are facing $1.1 Billion in fines for money laundering & tax evasion https://twitter.com/business/status/1640656421162307584 the name of the scheme? Cum-Cum quote:The raids relate to a dividend arbitrage strategy known as Cum-Cum where shareholders transferred stock for a short period to investors based abroad to avoid a dividend tax. Investors held the shares during the period when dividends were paid out and either weren’t taxed or taxes were refunded. They then sold the securities back to the original owner and the amount saved was split between the parties.

genericnick posted:Didn't expect Clinton to rake in more than Barrack. Was that during his wife's presidential runs? Former President Bill Clinton has made the most of any modern president on the speaking circuit. He gives dozens of speeches a year and each brings in between $250,000 and $500,000 per engagement, according to published reports. He also earned $750,000 for a single speech in Hong Kong in 2011. In the decade or so after Clinton left office, from 2001 through 2012, he made at least $104 million in speaking fees, according to an analysis by The Washington Post. Clinton makes no bones about why he charges so much. “I gotta pay our bills,” he told NBC News.

silentsnack posted:yea but the way its implemented in this bill is especially stupid. like nobody has been able to articulate exactly why tiktok is a threat that needs to be Taken Seriously or what it's doing with user data that is so different from google or amazon giving surveillance data to the NSA, and computers are just inscrutable magical boxes that mortals cannot comprehend, so it's left completely open for congressional committees to fill in the blank that decides what kind of entities or actions pose a "risk" to the US. What do you mean? It's "the china app", that's why it needs to go and why it's bad, they have been pretty consistent with making sure everyone knows it's the china part that's the problem, not the data collection part.
