deep dish peat moss posted:This is pretty much the entire philosophy of business these days. I've worked for several tech startups (mostly not fintech, with one exception) that are now quite large, generally around communications and marketing roles, and I couldn't tell you the number of times I've heard the implication that the actual value of the product doesn't affect price tags or revenue, only the "perceived value" (which is specifically an arbitrary qualitative evaluation implanted in the audience's head by the marketing department, rather than anything related to actual value) This really is an amazing and appropriate allegory for a lot of startups. See: Juicero. Late stage capitalism is an amazing poo poo show.

Lazyfire posted:Boeing stock kept going up during the height of the pandemic when orders were being delayed, production lines closed and expected new plane introductions/announcements didn't happen. The 737 max was and is still not shipping and the rate increase on the 787 has been delayed with no end in sight. The stock should be at zero, but it's Boeing, so people buy the stock just because of that. "I drink Coca Cola, so I'll buy some Coke stock!"

That's why we have to replace them with systems designed by me, the perfect human. On top of being a biologist now he's also apparently a programmer wait just kidding he's an everyday scammer and also maybe a muppet?

Is this a bank thread now? I worked as a teller for a bank in Texas once up a time. It was fairly big, lots of branches in Texas and Mexico, so you can safely assume that they did a lot of banking with migrant workers and generally not well-off. The money they made off overdraft fees was incredible, as they made sure to structure checking card debits so that each card swipe made in any given 24 hour period would stack and then be debited as if each incurred after you hit zero dollars. So far example if I, a normal human, had $15 in my account, then in any order went and bought gas for $17, went to Jack in the Box and spent $7, and also got a jug of milk for $3 at the store, then the next day I'd be hit with 3 overdraft charges for $25 each. Oh, and you want to opt out of overdraft charges altogether? Well you gotta go into the bank and sign formal documents, all while you get shamed because someone somewhere might see you as poor because your card got declined. Really colored my view on banks, working there. I got fired after 6 months for losing money, but no worries. They're still very much around and very big...

Ups_rail posted:See the solution to dealing with the unbanked is crypto duh. I get that it’s a sarcastic post, but so many grifts start with dissatisfaction regarding a current large, probably immovable aspect of being human. Getting old, being poor, banking, taxes, so on. If living wasn’t such a bitch sometimes, grifts would be harder to maintain. Ugh.

Astrochicken posted:I found out this morning that i can be charged $10 for making more than 6 transfers between saving/checking accounts in a statement period. However if I have more than $20,000 in savings, then the $10 will be waived. Lmao lol. In a country where 40% of people or whatever can’t come up with $400 for an emergency, that makes TOTAL sense

notwithoutmyanus posted:*You* have questions. The exchanges that facilitate money laundering and don't require KYC, do not have questions. I’m so baffled by this bullshit. Like does this person have a name? Are they even real? Or is this one of those “I know someone who sold enough Cutco knives that they won the Cutco knife master of the year aware for 100k and I don’t know who they are but I just KNOW it’ll be me this year” things? Because I have to assume it’s the latter and that is just standard level grifty poo poo but instead of money, you get an abacus made of dog poo poo.

Time_pants posted:Yeah, navigating 3 years of built-up neuroses in isolation has done incalculable damage to my own mental health and personality, not to mention several relationships. I'm barely pulling out of a spiral weeks before it became a crater. I think it's natural for people in times of stress to either lose hope or contrive a messiah figure to believe in. There’s a concept in psychology that says that trauma tends to exacerbate trends that were already in motion. For examples: if you use alcohol to cope with stress, individual trauma will likely make you drink more. So it’s fascinating to me that we saw (and are seeing) that on a national level. I think this tendency was made even worse by Americans tendency to be isolated and mentally unhealthy in general, but the individual differences have been interesting nonetheless. For me personally, it brought me and my partner closer together, and also made us better friends with some of our closer people. However, it also made me incredibly disillusioned with my career (mental health), and I have to wonder if I wasn’t already heading in that direction. All that being said, theoretically anyone could be susceptible to a grift like crypto, but like…I don’t get it. I guess I’ve just never been that desperate.

Having worked in the medical ward of a few jails in the past, it blows my drat mind that he’s getting ANYTHING resembling adderall. Like, that’s truly unheard of. 1) because prison medical bays are cheap as gently caress, but 2) because that would make a tasty addition to some jail wine.
