Just sell all your toxic assets to the fed at 2-3x their actual value and use it to buy non toxic assets. That's increasing liquidity in the market baby!!! Not a bailout!!

What is even prompting these sell offs. SVB got bailed out in like 24 hours, why would anybody be afraid of bank liquidity at this point.

the shareholders didn't get bailed out. so what you want to do is take all your money out of owning companies and instead just deposit all that money with the company without worrying you can lose it, because the fed has now said you can't

The federal government paused screening for Medicaid qualification in March 2020 as part of a package of emergency pandemic measures. But those rules expire this year after several extensions, meaning states can resume evaluating whether residents are eligible for coverage as of April 1. The Kaiser Family Foundation has predicted that anywhere from 5.3 million to 14.2 million Americans could lose insurance in the process, though some could transfer to Affordable Care Act programs or employer-sponsored plans, if available.

(also lol that 20 percent of NY state's budget goes toward medicaid)

this goes way back but wasn't one of the big things about ppaca and the court case that the expanded medicaid could really impact state finances and that's why a bunch of them sued to get rid of the mandate? There was some sort of grant money to fund medicaid but no guarantee it would exist in the future.

It's fun how everything is going to absolute poo poo well before the economy is actually in recession. All the big brain optimist economists keep screaming that there's no recession but, like, it'd almost be better if we were there already. Endless inflation, consumer credit spiraling out of control, bank failures, loan delinquencies, and all this is just the pre-show.

Haven't we been in recession for 2 or 3 quarters now but the institutions changed the definitions because of being scared of Trump 24

Paradoxish posted:

The definition of a recession is basically that NBER reads the entrails and decides that we're in one, but you generally need a couple quarters of negative growth alongside rising unemployment so probably not. If the fed can't break the labor market then they probably don't have to ever admit that the economy is in recession.

Weird, I thought it was just negative gdp and employment was irrelevant.

It drives me absolutely apoplectic when I ask for it to depict any historical period I know a good deal about because so much is wrong in very simple ways that you could tell an artist about, or provide reference material to. It does give me a deeper appreciation for history illustrators like Angus McBride though.

The same is true if you know art history because (obviously) it doesn't understand artist or genre, it's just pastiche. Like ChatGPT is "literature" for people who don't like to read, AI creates "art" for people who don't like art.

When it first came out I asked it for a recap of catch 22 and it said yossarian is a pilot. It's kind of impressive in how it'll get the broad strokes right then instantly go off the rails with pretty obvious stuff.

Like if you ask it what products a company makes it'll get one right then make up some other ones. Mystifying

I mean, either way, it makes TARP sound quaint as gently caress like grandpa talking about five cent candy bars

The TARP originally authorized expenditures of $700 billion. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 created the TARP. The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, signed into law in 2010, reduced the amount authorized to $475 billion. By October 11, 2012, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) stated that total disbursements would be $431 billion, and estimated the total cost, including grants for mortgage programs that have not yet been made, would be $24 billion.[1]

the people that think that aren't buying bitcoin or they are of the variety that has such a surface level understanding of currency and cryptocurrency that they believe the propaganda

Bitcoin's price is going up because Silicon Valley and two crypto banks were bailed out. It's a celebration by bitcoin true believers, not a sign that Bitcoin is being considered a real and true store of value over the dollar.

Most preppers into precious metals that think the dollar is doomed are buying silver in 1 ounce rounds, copper by the pound or barter goods like alcohol.

I doubt this is normal but my dad's a prepper, has investments in silver, buried gold, Bitcoin, ammo, solar, sheep, and thousands of pounds of lentils (he has river & creek access on the farm as well for water). He's also invited a few dozen locals to the compound including doctors and has plans to block/destroy nearby bridges

One of my coworkers had a two flat in Chicago, and did Air B&B for the second floor for awhile. He wouldn’t let anyone rent for over 2 weeks, as he didn’t want to come anywhere near the one month tenants rights thing. And that was like 5 years ago.

The funny part is thats not how things work in Chicago and the second you have someone in an Airbnb there they can live there for free forever if they know what they're doing (no one knows what they're doing). The police/sheriffs will just say go to court about it we're not gonna give a poo poo

Although the really aggressive ones eventually end up with criminal charges but I'm not sure how that actually goes down

how do you raise 50 million dollars ( and raise money three times before that) without having an idea of what you are even selling? Silicon Valley is full of idiots.

what the hell is 'pmf.' 'product market fit' does that just mean expected customers? so they're raising 30-50million without ever saying who the product is supposed to be sold to?

And you hardly see any media about it outside of Korea itself. IIRC the last major movie production about the Korean war was in the 70s, funded by a religious cult from Korea. You go from WW2 where were the awesome winners, and Vietnam where they kind of have to cover it to get ahead of any inconvenient narratives, but Korea is a failed war that they can safely just tuck away.

Presumably part of it is because the hero general pulled off an all time amphibious attack then absolutely hosed up and got relieved of command before he could start nuclear Armageddon

I don't know California tenant law, but in PA if they don't send you the charges + remainder of security deposit in time they lose, game over, no recourse. This is pretty loving weird. Talk to your lawyer first.

Friend of mine had a landlord say he was keeping her deposit as punishment for her moving out early , acknowledged she had found a replacement and he didn't care. No lawyer would take her case in Chicagoland

Then a few years later a light pole rusted out fell over and crushed her in the loop (unconscious, broken leg) and she's trying to sue the city with the #1 law firm but she's probably gonna lose
