@ericpmoss hound them anyway, point out that if a bank crash can cause turmoil in the financial system, then it IS a big bank.

@MrMarket1987 heaven forbid we actually fix the problem instead of just throwing money at the results of the problem. sure, bail out the poor people so they dont starve, i never said anything opposing that, but hold the people responsible accountable instead of bailing out ultra wealthy billionaires.

@MrMarket1987 Socialism IS a scary thing, i have experience with it, i lived under it, have you? socialism is a great system on paper, everyone profits, everyone has everything they need, but thats because on paper socialism ignores reality and finite resources and the corruption of man. socialism breeds stagnation at its core, it breeds corruption just as easily as any other system, and it breeds death on a biblical scale. there is a difference between having a safety net for people to not fall into poverty and starvation and homelessness and having that social safety net actually be the core of the government itself. here is an example, the OH train derailment was caused by lax safety measures by a private company and lax regulations by the government, and there were injuries and possibly may be deaths from this. all of this was so that a company can make more profits. Chernobyl was built by a socialist government with actual design flaws that were covered up by the same government that built it and kept that information from the people running it until it exploded. the governments solution, draft 600k civilians and hand them a shovel and march them into a burning nuclear reactor. the design flaws were exposed, and the government still did nothing to fix the issue because it was too costly until enough international pressure grew to force the government to fix it. 3 people were charged with that accident in a show trial and sentenced for causing the accident on a faulty designed reactor where they didnt know of the design flaws because the government decided not to tell them. the difference is that the government in OH is not forcing people to go to clean up OH, but if it was a socialist system, then perhaps good ole Bernie would show up at your house with a couple soldiers and hand you a shovel and tell you "go dig peasant", just like the socialist government did with Chernobyl.

@randyjax09 you would still be broke because the bank you had that dollar in would fail and collapse because Bernie didnt to anything to try and fix the problem, just whine about it.
1
its not that hard, not hard at all. perfect example, Trump, his first foray into politics and he went into the biggest position there is. Bernie could have stuck it to Hilary and kept running against her and he could have won the primary, but instead he made a shady deal behind closed doors to bow out to hilary in exchange for book sales to make him into a "millionaire".
1
@NeilTruick yes yes, hilary bailed out the DNC, and Bernie still bowed out for a payoff himself instead of pushing on and pushing ahead. he could have carried himself and pushed Hilary asside, he could have brought that whole corrupt DNC into the light on that day and showed what they were doing, but instead he took his payout and stepped aside, because he was destined to be a millionaire now. notice how ever since then he stopped whining about the millionaires and only the billionaires? he could have exposed them for what they were right on that day to the whole world, but instead he sided with them.
1
@NeilTruick bernie raised $200 million for his campaign, but not for himself directly. Hilary saw to it that he lined his pockets enough to become a millionaire personally.
1
@NeilTruick who said he is a tax cheat, you are just making things up now. just because he made his taxes public and paid taxes for the money he made doesnt mean he didnt make a deal with the DNC and Hilary to line his pockets. here is some homework for you. Bernie has been whining about stuff but never introducing any legislation to help fix it. Bernie champions socialism for you while he benefits from greedy capitalism for himself. Bernie whines about the millionaires and billionaires until he becomes a millionaire and then shuts his mouth about it. Bernie was quick to try and jump in to take the credit for that amazon unionization effort until the leaders of that movement called him out on it.
1
yea, that path would have been breadlines instead of bank lines, never forget that Bernie said "breadlines are a good thing".
1
@Zoroasterisk when you praise socialist systems that bring breadlines, i dont care what the full context is anymore. funny how you want to try and defend a quote with "full context" but support a side that always takes everything out of context.
1
@Zoroasterisk the reality is that Bernie praised the systems that BROUGT the breadlines, then praised the breadlines.
1
@stephm.3407 in a parallel universe, he IS POTUS, and an alternate you is also there, unfortunately you have starved to death along with half your country due to his policies.
1
@Zoroasterisk you cant debunk nothing, he praised the socialist system that brought those breadlines and then praised those breadlines as if though they were a great solution to the catastrophy that the socialist government brought about instead of admonishing the government for its failure. oh look, you got shot by a bad guy, thats good, here is a bandaid, even better now.
1
@Zoroasterisk here is Bernies quote. "You know, it's funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food," Sanders said. "That's a good thing. In other countries people don't line up for food. The rich get the food, and the poor starve to death." i dont know of any other countries where rich people get the food and the poor starve, other than socialism chitholes that Bernie praises or some dysfunctional 3rd world African nations where the governments are akin to whoever is the strongest warlord taking power. i dont care what context its in, if you praise breadlines and dont call out the system that brought your civilization to the point of having breadlines then you are an idiot.
1
@valmacclinchy not really, we have capitalism with socialist safety nets, which is a good thing, but it shouldnt be pushed to the point of having socialism as a form of economy or government.
1
@aidancampbell5644 im suggesting that Bernie is praising the system that leads people into a situation of forced breadlines and then claiming its a good thing. every normal person would say that breadlines are a bad thing because they are a sympton of a serious problem, but not Bernie.
1
@Zoroasterisk oh you are right, in that quote Bernie didnt praise socialism, he praised it in many other quotes. its astounding that he would make a statement like that and people like you worship at his feet, where a normal person would say that breadlines are a bad thing because they are a symptom of a larger systemic problem. a better world is where we dont have breadlines instead of praising the system that brings the breadlines and then praising the breadlines as an alternative to starvation. if the government causes you to starve and then gives you a slice of bread and a cup of water, you dont praise the government. thats like a robber taking all your money and then handing you $5 and you praise them for it. and go F yourself with your context, you people always want to take everyone else out of context and then demand that its not done to you.

@valmacclinchy yes, i have heard Bernie speak, and yes, i agree that in a wealthy country our healthcare is unnaceptable, but then again, who is going to pay for it all? our taxes? our taxes get wasted on a myriad of other things, such as foreign aid to countries for projects that they dont need, what was it? some odd millions for Shri-Lanka to buy a speedboat? how many billions have gone to Pakistan when they were hiding Bin Laden right next to their biggest military command base? how much of our money gets wasted on NATO to cover the bills that other members of NATO dont cover because they are unwilling to meet their budget requirements to be members of NATO. how many billions have we already sent to Ukraine? how much money is being wasted on illegals here in the US, i would estimate its in the tens of billions at least. i live in Chicago, and the ones that came on busses for TX are being housed in 5 star hotels now in the burbs, and given free healthcare while our own people cant get medical attention and live on the streets. these are just some examples. our system is broken, because its run by ineptitude at every angle you can look at, and the real tragedy is that none of the voters care, as long as their guy makes some fancy speaches and promises, and if he doesnt follow through wilth his promises then he can just blame some boogeyman on the other side. tell me, what has bernie done or tried to do to better anyones life, what broken thing has he tried to fix? nothing, he just whines about it.

@Val MacClinchy you may not drive on "my" highway, but neither do I, but you and I still benefit from that highway. You know what does drive on that highway? The truck that is bringing food to the local grocery store, and the truck bringing fuel to the gas station so the ambulance has enough gas to transport a person to a hospital, there are so many other benefits. But enough of that. As for Bernie being the amendment king, it's not that hard to tack on an amendment to a piece of legislation that you know will pass. The hard part is creating legislation of your own, which he doesn't do. So instead of bringing you a cake, he brings you crumbs and expects you to celebrate. He was around for the 08 crash, why did he not draft legislation to fix that problem from happening again? In 2016 he warned this was going to happen, why didn't he draft legislation to fix the problem he warned about? Oh yea, he was too busy whining about it and kissing democrats ass. At best he is a Charleston offering bandaid short term fixes for long term problems and selling it in a way so people buy it. His biggest gimmick is raise the minimum wage to $15/hr as if though that will fix the problem, it won't, just like it didn't fix it the last 4 times they raised the minimum wage. This way in a couple of years he can swoop in as a hero championing to raise the minimum wage again. His other gimmick is tax the millionaires and billionaires... oh wait, only the billionaires now since he is a millionaire, like that's gonna solve anything either, those taxes will simply be trickled down to the end buyer of a companies products. You want to raise the tax on a billionaires income like Bezos? The company will simply pay him more to offset that higher tax and then charge more for their products and services. That billionaire will still make the same money but you will be paying more and Bernie will be screaming about the billionaires and offering you the same failed policy of taxing them more. Everyone cries about how the rich make an obscene amount of money, but no one goes after it in a practical way. 1. Corporate tax, applied to profits post operational costs as a percentage based on profit percentage, meaning, if a company made 20% profits, then they get taxed at 20% on their profits, if they make 60% profits then they get taxed at 60% on their profits, and if they make 100% profits, then they get taxed at 100% on their profits. This will disincentive companies from price gouging and will actually force companies to start charging better prices and to start paying better wages. If Amazon had to pay 120% taxes on their profits, you would see how quickly they would start shifting those profits towards better pay for their workers just to bump up their operating costs and lower their profits margin to lower their tax liability. 2. Personal income taxes, the same way like xorporate taxes, your living expenses would be operating costs and anything above that would be calculated as profits and taxed the same way. That's a more permanent solution to a long term problem than "make the rich pay their fair share" nonsense. Elon Musk paid 12 BILLION in taxes to the IRS this year, that's more than the yearly operating budget for the city of Chicago with millions of people living in it, he paid more in taxes than millions of people, which part is fair?

@Aidan Campbell you think the Netherlands solution will work here? Not completely, it has been tried with marginal success ranging in the 50% range. Netherlands is a whole different country and a whole different culture and their solution to a problem doesn't necessarily translate to a solution here. We have a wide range of underlying issues causing homelessness, 2 of the biggest ones are mental health and drugs. We need to treat those problems before treating the ho.elessness.
1
@aidancampbell5644 yes, and since the golden period, enough loopholes have been added to the tax code that its much much harder to effectively tax the rich at such rates anymore. technology has advanced enough for them to shift their finances around to hit as many tax loopholes and avoid those higher taxes.
1
@valmacclinchy funny how Bernies catchphrase was "millionaires and billionaires" until he turned into a "millionaire" and changed his catchphrase to just "billionaires". its as hypocritical as every other politician proposing to tax the rich starting at just above what their net worth is, like Warren proposing on taxing the wealthy with over $50 million in value because she is worth $49 million. he is a hypocrite and you dont even see it. thats how simple it is, LET THAT SINK IN.
1
@aidancampbell5644 well, i didnt try to cite any study, because i wasnt aware of the study you are refferencing. but simply put, if you put someone in a home that has severe drug or mental health issues or both, they are not going to stay in that home, and its a waste of resources to reserve a home spot for someone that you have enrolled in a drug rehab institution or a mental health institution. you treat those issues first, and once you treat them you arrange a suitable living situation before releasing them, kind of like some states and jurisdictions do with criminals, instead of tossing them out of prison straight out onto the streets, they have halfway houses and arrange housing and work for them before release. i may not completely understand the solution im talking about, but you dont understand that the Neatherlands solution would not work here.
1
@aidancampbell5644 and there you go, spewing out garbage like Fascism, whats next, systemic racism and white privilege? fancy buzzwords to throw insults at something you dont aprove of. i can easily say you are a welfare queen because you support Bernie and his freebie train of goodies he offers. he hasnt been fighting Fascism because it doesnt exist, he has been pushing socialism for the sake of pushing it. but if you want to start throwing around the big boogeyman of Fascism, then fine, i can throw around labels too, you are a Nazzi, because you are starting to use Nazzi tactics in labeling others with vile labels in order to dehumanise them so to justify attacking them.

@alphagamma4582 i prefer that people are not put into such a situation in the first place. as for Jesus, you can shove up up your backside, i dont follow his teaching, mostly because morons like you abose those teachings and try to play some phony guilt trip like you are trying to do now. thos people wanted socialism, let them starve on what they wanted, but instead you praise the man who would use that system to starve people and then give them crumbs as if though he is some kind of hero.
1
@thomas0086 socialism is still the worst system in the world.
1
@aileenpi73 no, you lie, Bernie is praising socialism, he has always praised socialism, there is no such thing as socialist democracy, no country runs on socialist democracy, they either run on socialism or democracy.
1
@aileenpi73 socialism is ALSO a system of governance, quit lying and trying to make up BS.
1
@lukelaurelle2534 unfortunately i have to agree with you, i dont like Bernie and i never will, wiht that being the case, definitely the democrats stole the nomination from him and they effed him over and yes, he would have made a much better candidate than Hilary.
1
no, we need someone that is capable of FIXING our problems, not just whining about them. Bernie predicted this bank collapse, anyone with a couple of braincells could predict that, but has Bernie authored a bill that would fix the banking problem? SVB bank was operating for the past 3 months without a risk assesment officer, but they sure were putting out a monthly report on their inclusion and equity and equality and social justice innitiatives.
1
FDIC insures up to $250k no more, you think people like Oprah and Harry and Megan who had million upon million in that bank are going to settle for that? they will go to their friends in congress and tell them to bail them out, and they will oblige, because they all belong to the same club, its a big club, and you aint in it.
1
no, governemnt bailing out the wealthy using our money IS the problem. let the government deregulate the banks completely for all i care, let the banks fail, let them fall under, then let the government investigate and throw some of these execs in prison. from what i understand, SVB has been operating without a risk assesment officer for about 3 months, and several of the higher execs started selling off thier shares in the bank a couple of weeks ago, pretty convenient. take those guys, throw them in prison, seize all their assets, and throw their families out on the street. but instead, regular families will get thrown out on the street and working joes tax dollars are going to be used to bail out the banks while the execs will enjoy their comfy and cushy retirement.
