Uhh the guy in this indictment is the president who didn't want to relinquish power before he was charged with crimes. He obviously didn't need to be charged before attempting treason and autocracy.

This bug seems familiar. But I'm a little surprised the fix for this wasn't already in the version of systemd chosen for the release. March 2022 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug

This is not properly referred to as health insurance. It is a sickness, aging, and death payment plan. There's no such thing as major medical anymore. It was private healthcare that backed public law forcing minimum coverage. Why? Beca

There's a lot of national and consumer debt to inflate away so I think inflation is what's on the menu. Workers are going to bear the brunt of the fallout if they cannot or will not demand increased pay. Workers can't get suc

Wasn't it in the best interest of everyone's best interest to avoid having such high amounts of uninsured deposits? Was it a requirement or recommendation to concentrate cash in SVB, and why?

Or that the depositors should have lost money, with the ensuing ripple effects: unpaid workers, state fines for violating wage payment laws, bankruptcies, lawsuits, unpaid vendors and contractors and all their downstreams, etc. i.e. carnage

I'm not sure what you imagine FDIC does with the bank's seized assets. But let's say you think they should be vanished some reason, and good for nothing. Hundreds of thousands of employees from tens of thousands of small busi

The bank isn't being bailed out though. The depositors are being covered by FDIC in the short term, while FDIC will sell assets seized from the bank. The bondholders and shareholders will take the haircuts. If that's not enough to

I found no information on how to do this with a cursory Google search. What comes up are other stratgies, like multiple bank accounts, each at different banks. Or instruments like certificates of deposit, which aren't suitable for payr

Or not encourage them to have multiple bank accounts so that deposits are fully FDIC insured? In effect, it encourages concentrating deposits in a single bank. Benefits the bank, does not benefit the depositor.

by cmurf 4y ago
Correct. The $250,000 FDIC cap is a favor to banks. They only pay fees to insure up to that amount. And it's bogus. The FDIC should require deposits to be insured, no matter the amount.

Do you understand what you're saying though? The consequence is, cash deposits for thousands of small businesses, are unavailable. The direct consequence is these businesses can't pay payroll, and can't pay vendors. This isn&

It is not a health care system, it's a sick and dying payment plan system. They definitely don't want you to die because then you stop paying into the system. But they don't care about quality of life, they want to pay out as

It's sufficiently untrue that the author or publisher should know that it is untrue and misleading. I conclude they did it on purpose for clicks. However, I am not a scientific sample.
