that’s dumb it’s being presented as if they would lose money by issuing more mortgages.

they aren’t issuing enough mortgages because the market is sale. so they aren’t covering their costs.

the feds added sesame to the list of major allergens (you know, tree nuts peanuts, shellfish, wheat, etc.) and the entire food industry decided that rather than take steps to avoid cross-contamination, they were just going to add sesame flour to foods that didn't have sesame flour before so they could legally put it on the label

https://www.washingtonpost.com/wellness/2023/04/11/sesame-allergy-law-consequences/

quote:

Four-year-old Mia McDermott just kept getting sick. Throughout January, she had persistent headaches, vomited frequently and became dehydrated, and every time she got better, she’d get worse again. Even after eating one of her favorite foods, a Wendy’s cheeseburger, Mia became violently ill, said her mother, Jessica McDermott.

McDermott was baffled: Her little girl was allergic to sesame, but she was only eating foods she had always eaten safely.

That same month, Emily Tibbs’s 2-year-old son suddenly developed a rash on his face, a cough and stomach pain that made him cry after eating Dave’s Killer white bread, Tibbs said. The Nashville mom was bewildered: Her toddler was allergic to sesame, but she hadn’t fed him anything other than the foods he normally ate.

Scouring the labels of what their children had eaten, both mothers were horrified to discover that sesame was now listed as an ingredient in the cheeseburger, the bread and other baked products that had previously been sesame-free. “I’d been unknowingly poisoning [Mia] for several weeks,” said McDermott, who lives in Philadelphia.

What happened? On Jan. 1, a law intended to safeguard the more than 1.5 million Americans with a sesame allergy — including the McDermott and Tibbs children (and, full disclosure, my son as well) — took effect. The law mandates, among other things, careful cleaning to prevent cross-contact between food products with and without sesame.

In a twist few would have expected, however, many food companies have chosen to add small amounts of sesame flour to products that were previously sesame-free, instead of conducting the careful cleaning required for foods without sesame.

The result? Foods that sesame-allergic kids and adults have eaten safely for years are now potentially life-threatening.

they have a lot of overhead that costs them money regardless of how many mortgages they sell. when they don't sell enough they end up losing money.

you need to make money off the loan, but there are secondary costs associated with issuing the loan such as paying salaries, taxes, other forms of administrative overhead, and maybe creating financial instruments from them. at least thats my best guess.

it's also because interest rates have increased so quickly the "valuation" of mortgages as an asset has soared more quickly than they can offload old ones. the banks aren't interested in simply accepting their vig for 30 years, they're bundling/reverse-collateralizing/trading these mortgages as soon as they hit their desks. If they can't sign people up to new ones quickly enough that htey can reap Maximum Interest, they're in quite the pickle lmao

similar situation with some additional bells and whistles to SVB treasuries lmao

couldn’t they have just put the “may contain ____” labels on things and call it a day? Why was adding sesame a necessary step? I guess it’s been a while since I’ve checked but I swear I’ve seen “may contain tree nuts” on basically every package of peanuts ever (and vice versa), I thought that was just the standard method of not wanting to do a complete clean sweep.

Our younger kid has multiple food allergies and it is loving hell. I wish we know what the gently caress was causing them, because our older isn't allergic to anything and they were treated basically the same.

This loving sucks. Our kid is allergic to oat, which is not on the major allergen list but also not in that many processed foods yet, and if they added oat and then suddenly everything had oat I would pull my hair out.

You have at least a year or two before they do that. The oat crop was really bad in Canada last season due to a drought and that poo poo ain't cheap anymore.

the article casually mentions at some point that because there's fewer sales, the companies are saying they're overstaffed and thus losing money because theyre cooking the books on this as hard as possible
