I understand all this. I'm specifically refuting the "truly" qualifier. Nominally, and in various day to day issues, they may be given some degree of say yes. I would argue this is only in so far as they are delegated or gran

Yes? Why is someone's existence or circumstance de facto an obligation for someone else? No one lives their life completely accommodating every random stranger's needs.

Or you can make a tradeoff and simply exclude these outliers from using your product, instead of optimizing for their unique case.

If one, or a group, or a nation or whatever..does not have power, then they only have freedom granted to them by actual power. That is not actual freedom, it is dependence on the benevolence of the powerful. Talking of power relations isn&#

Everything has always been about power to one degree or another. Even living in a comfortable political environment where you don't have to worry about this stuff and can live in peace...first requires power. The key is getting people

Effective at what, political dominance? Eh..ressentiment and tearing down, attacking achievements of the strong and dominant while glorifying the weak and oppressed has actually worked extremely well. Expressions of this sentiment like mult

*OBVIOUSLY* the bank failed because of the bank run. What the hell does that have to do with the pertinent question of: was it rational to withdraw? Those that panicked first won. Those that didn't lost.

by PKop 4y ago
"Eventually" You are just plain wrong that withdrawing was the wrong choice. What about those needing to make payroll or pay other expenses in the mean time? When will they get their money back? You have no idea lol The bank faile

The bank has failed and those with deposits in excess of 250k have not been guaranteed and cannot withdraw now what are you talking about? The bank failed!! lol. If one had withdrawn fast enough, they have their money; those who waited lost

The bank failed. How could you possibly argue that withdrawing wasn't rational?

Do you think there are easy answers to all these questions? The point is there are various intractable problems, the outcome of which is less mom and pop shops.

In the short term, it is interesting to see if this problem grows[0]...if Fed keeps rates at high levels for longer, there is going to be a gravitational pull into treasuries which will cause more banks to fail. It would be very prudent to

Well now you're questioning the necessity of banks in general. Additionally, the government regulates them into these securities. >Why not just make the government do that directly? If I understand, do you mean why not cut out the

Ok so you're saying it's bad that they fund the government. But given the large budget deficit we have, the statement is true.

Literally funds the government lol

Yes so the key distinction is this bank had a bank-run against it that forced their hand. Fair to say any number of banks would fail if they faced a bank-run in current environment (depending on proportion of long dated bonds they hold)?

if they bought short term bills they wouldn't have lost value like the 10 yrs did. So, they made a duration mistake.

Regulating "election manipulation" i.e. "democracy" and "free speech". This is just government censorship of information that threatens their power.

I think LiveView Native[0] could be very helpful in this regard, as per the project's goals, having ability to write mobile apps in the same language would greatly incentivize using it for web etc. Hopefully that project continues to m

This is absurd. Society can't function if knowing things about suspects is off limits. What are we children? There's laws against crime of the sort you imply. We know the guy did something and that he exists. If people can't
