  1. Treat Sam's statements with care as he is very biased in favor of not going to prison.

  2. Patrick's sarcasm is so tight the scammers think he's being polite...

  3. I was at the main office of Mastercard for a time. They had massive rec rooms, a library, lounges, and a whole parking lot dedicated to EV charging. Literally none of it was ever used, sitting empty while workers went straight from the open-cubicle desks back home in their gas cars. Just a massive waste of money

  4. The problem isn't we're broke, the problem is most politicians are more concerned about the party affiliations of the men proposing a bill rather than the bill itself.
    856
  5. The strange thing about this bubble is that it appears to be something most consumers are actively avoiding even if the sing the praises of AI.
    581
  6. The root cause is people want the money that comes with new inventions, they don't actually care about the work that creates them. I assure you, John Deere didn't get rich selling better plows because he had an idea, he got rich because he spent literally his whole life making plows.

  7. Those "wealth management products" promised 13% returns. For comparison, the Madoff's "hedge fund" promised 12%.
    561
  8. Getting paid with options sounds like a infinite leverage glitch
    547
  9. You've gotta be a lot of finance student's favorite professor...

  10. The people who think this channel is boring likely also are pumping meme stocks.
    274
  11. "Yes, that's how it's pronounced and it's also how it's spelled." Shots fired... Someone call Paul Revere.

  12. I think all that will happen is Apple will end up as Goldman Sach's largest shareholder and we'll drop the fascad that Apple's banking is separate from Goldman's.

  13. In China, "Social stability" means "avoiding riots."
    234
  14. Anyone notice that as soon as stock markets became available to everyone, private equity markets exploded in size?
    231
  15.  @RamonChiNangWong078  No one wants to live at work no matter how well they are paid. We'd all rather work for our family
    172
  16. You know, if they actually bought the offices they rented they'd actually be making money with the same business model. Nothing spectacular, but there would be no struggle to justify the company's existence.
    126
  17. It's called fraud and Tony can be charged with it.
    120
  18. To add: China is having its own inflation issues and has deep debt they can't pay. Getting foreign countries to take Yuan off their hands allows them to print more money without inflation.
    118
  19. It's a legal con
    115
  20. Stupidity and greed are also factors.
    111
  21. In oil states "yet to approve the budget" is code for "we don't have the money."
    99
  22.  @victorcode2075  Dude, that's less debt than the average mortgage. And note the government's ability to borrow is much higher than an individual because a government, by definition, has the best credit rating in their jurisdiction.
    88
  23. That sounds like a you problem
    87
  24. To be fair, they thought they were investing in a casino
    85
  25. Come on, this is America. We blame the government no matter what happens.
    83
  26. It's simple: They depended on borrowed funds to overpay office workers for decades, which is simply no longer possible
    75
  27. Ah yes. Coca-Cola. The universal measure of inflation
    65
  28. In the Arab world, this sort of informal one-man bank is called a Hawala. The difference is that formalized banking is extremely rare in that part of the world, and Hawalas are one and the same with loan sharks, money launderers, and black market fences.
    62
  29. Is it just me or is everything influencer promoted not worth buying? Even good products like what Patrick might promote aren't worth asking price, whether it's 70 bucks for an aluminum wallet or 16 bucks a month for a VPN we don't really need. And why would I sign up for My Heritage when Ancestry already exist and i know from experience the service is good?
    59
  30. If he's making money honestly who can blame him?
    59
  31. This is just another case in point that GDP is a largely meaningless metric
    59
  32. When people doubt Adam Smith's invisible hand... Just tell them this story.
    57
  33. You see why historically Chinese companies often trade at ridiculous multiples. It's because all Chinese companies have high regulatory risk and the Chinese markets are volatile at best.
    55
  34. A bigger question is if owners of the LME exchange personally made bets on nickle. If so, it's textbook insider trading.
    55
  35. Come on. We all know the banks work for whoever is paying as long as it isn't illegal (and even then some banks make exceptions).
    54
  36. "Respected."
    54
  37.  @TheHumbleGeek  I'm sure there is something you are tempted to overspend on. I keep having to tell myself No, I do NOT need another gun.
    48
  38. To add about conspicuous consumption: Its what drives certain digital economies. Certain online games give out unique items as rewards, and these are often sold for real world money. Most of the time they sell only for a few dollars, but there are recorded cases of people paying a couple grand for something like a unique paint job on a digital gun. There are cases of people who were offerred even more but simply refused because they thought it unethical
    44
  39. Those are mostly shoes/clothes where the goods are cheap but the branding isn't. Most of the buyers are actually small time dealers auctioning them off. One 22 year old said after expenses flipping luxury shoes paid about as well as a factory job but he didn't have a boss
    42
  40.  @ytredvb  Except all the merchants supply those goods MUST use dollars. A lot of countries have hidden dollarization in this fashion
    42
  41. People keep talking about fake accounts spreading spam but we all know a lot of those accounts were manipulating political narratives. In fact, I'll wager most of them are.
    42
  42. Best time to do it.
    41
  43. I actually shorted their currency a couple months ago and tripled down on my position over the past few weeks. As Charles Munger said: "The way to get rich is to compete against complete idiots."
    40
  44.  @BerndGiegerich  When the popular kids have to pretend to be nerds in order to stay popular in adulthood.....
    37
  45. Vhut? I watched one of them then left halfway through because they actually didn't talk about what their actual work was. Just a girl in skimpy clothes talking about lunch and friends. Sexualizing/exaggerating wealth like that is a classic sign of fraud
    35
  46. I wonder if any state officials shorted the stock last week......
    35
  47. That's the baby boom.
    35
  48. At what point do we overproduce electricity?
    35
  49. No, he makes money by selling motivational books and investing other people's money.
    34
  50. To prove she was defrauding patients you also have to prove the device was fake, rather than simply didn't work. If you put her on trial for that, she's simply play dumb and blame it on being an underqualified scientists with over ambitious ideas. No idea if that'd stick, though.
    33
  51.  @MarcosElMalo2  I was talking about John Deere the man, John Deere the company is now a soulless corporation that makes a lot of good tractors.
    33
  52. I wonder what sorts of skews that will make in AI results.......
    33
  53. Can confirm smartphones at schools. High schoolers I met said they're banned, but they can't search the students so how to enforce it? Another school simply didn't want them out during class.
    32
  54. Anyone who is willing to commit wage theft would sell people if it were legal, and this includes more people than care to admit it. But your comparison is hyperbole. This isn't illegal and the problem isn't that it is a hostile act but that some of these buys may be the prelude to a hostile act. If we really wanted to bar Chinese firms from buying things in America, go talk to a Congressman.
    32
  55. This idiot thinks oil drillers have mind control
    28
  56. Caveats: Turkey was never really secular, nor a democracy, nor were their central banks ever really independent, nor were they a middle income country. The central bank positions largely went to the clansmen of oligarchs, and all modernization was a product of foreign investment while the rest was fraudulent (ranging from fake schools to trumped up hospitals). The minimum is also a bit irrelevant since a large portion of employers are behind on payroll, and much of the economy is in the form of street vendors and day laborers.
    28
  57.  @slouch186  No, it's a subtle but vital detail. They paid up front for a lease lasting a decade on average, then rented out on a month-to-month basis
    27
  58. You'd be surprised how many ordinary people buy quasi-luxury goods
    27
  59. Much of the cost is in the land itself. In key locations it WAS in short supply for big office buildings where they could more efficiently meet people and send/receive mail, but those days are over because internet. There was a time when city centers were dominated by factories.
    26
  60. It's a free market
    26
  61. "ESG is one of the hottest things in markets right now." ESG also entails ignoring fundamentals and investing based on politicized criteria. ESG will inevitably drive a market bubble of some kind.
    25
  62. The fact you ironically moved stock pick tropes into a crime report shows how advanced the sarcasm is on this channel...
    23
  63. The irony is during the bubble in Japan there were accounts of sallared employees making modest wages while their bosses got ridiculously rich, which seems unfair until it was followed by decades of bosses being obliged to pay salaries even though ownership of the company paid little to nothing.
    23
  64. Those are degree majors you can fake your way through

  65. We could price in the risk of fire, but then no one will buy houses in southern Cali

  66.  @bruceleeharrison9284  trap? People WANT to spend it all as soon as they get it
    22
  67. Big question: Since the arbitrage was specifically allowed, who used it?
    22
  68. There was a Minecraft video that tested different AI's ability to understand basic builds in-game. The winner was an AI that said "I don't know" to all questions except one which it got right, all the rest gave nonsense answer mincing redstone components together that it pulled from the Minecraft Wiki
    22
  69. Rent in the rural interior of the US and Canada is only around 20% of what it is in Manhattan. I bring this up because cities below a certain size are not counted on housing statistics and these "rural areas" are where rent is cheapest
    21
  70. Brazil doesn't have nature reserves. They have unused forests
    21
  71. You only notice the rich people that think that. Statistically, two thirds of people think they are smarter than average.
    20
  72. A bit misleading. Printers are sold at cost so they can force you to buy proprietary ink at absurd margins
    20
  73.  @NickanM  What I want to know is if the other 8 of them were just as bonkers...
    20
  74. "Americans spend 40% of their take home pay on shelter." Me: Does mental math and realizes I'm the definition of average.......
    19
  75. A lot of them simply don't care. Line goes up because I'm a genius, line goes down because you're a thief.

  80. Who exactly eats more than 20 bucks worth of shrimp in one sitting? A double serving of shrimp would disagree with me...

  81. Some of my own red flags I spot liars: 1. Cliche success story (they're copying the people they envy). 2. Buzzwords (they don't know the topic as much as they pretend). 3. Vague vagueries (they make arguments they said something else later). 4. Repetition of vital info (they want to make sure you believe the lie). 5. Gratuitous statements of fact (introducing the key lie prematurely). 6. Gets angry when asked questions. 7. Wildly exaggerated success story (they're pushing a wet dream). 8. Sexing up the topic (it gets more people to go along with a scam than will care to admit it). 9. Contempt for authority of any kind. 10. Desire for immediate seizure of authority. 11. Delusions of possessing authority. 12. Cowardice (fierce words but leaves actions to others). 13. Illogical and wildly broad allegations (they think everyone is as guilty as they are). 14. Belief that extreme success is a reasonable life goal. 15. Contempt/condescension for their competition. 16. Contempt for ordinary standards of living. 17. Unwillingness to admit enemies may do good if it suits their interests. 18. Unwillingness to admit friends might have committed a crime at some point. 19. Perspective of history conveniently line up perfectly with whatever junk they're pushing. 20. No interest in investigations or record keeping of any kind.

  82. By whining about their wages and having no retirement plan
    17
  83. At the height of the frenzy, I looked at the Reddit profiles of all the people berating me for not touching GME. Each and every one of them turned out to be actual gamblers and sports fans.
    17
  84. "Plasma rockets aren't like electric trucks where you can just push them down a hill." No, they just have to blow up a launchpad!
    16
  85. It's also particularly ridiculous that a sovereign wealth fund that's the royal family's personal property would be so in tune to recent market trends...
    16
  86. ESG is a racket. End of story.
    16
  87. If these carbon credits were real, then farmers should be receiving tons of them, but instead they all go to owners of unused forests that ecoterrorists want to protect
    16
  88. They are listening, just not to industry professionals. The incentive for an elected official is to have a strong opinion on a list of hot button issues that a lot of voters pretend to care about. Ergo, there's a lot of arguments in Congress about tax burdens, but rarely do they discuss the obscenely complicated tax law that is a product of centuries of Congress arguing about tax burdens.
    16
  89. Who said building had anything to do with population growth? 1. In Communist China, the state owns the land and leases it to people for decades, collecting lots of taxes and fees that are about 40% of the cost of a house. 2. Officials are promoted, demoted, jailed, given bonuses, or allocated state resources based on GDP numbers. Officials are constantly coming up with new schemes as they're constantly being compared to their peers. 3. Construction and housing are among the few fully private industries. State enterprises can straight up ignore anti-trust laws, which drives away competition. This means competition is fierce within construction and profit margins rarely exceed 10%. 4. Crony capitalism is tolerated where officials give contracts to business they own shares in or are owned by family. Many major bribery busts have occurred, and in the cases we know of it appears officials received at least hundreds of bribes over a period of years before being caught. 5. Escrows are not required. Paying builders with money from presales is the norm, and of course that insane amount of leverage causes waste. 6. Speed is prioritized above all else. Construction begins with mostly prefabricated parts before blueprints are ready or feasibility studies done (you can forget about soil compaction and inspections). 7. Most new constructs demolish existing structures. Many of which collapse before being used. And so the endless racketeering goes on. None of these guys actually care if the construction collapses immediately upon being sold as that is on the buyer. Many people live in shelters made from their half finished houses as the builder went broke and they can't afford both rent and their mortgage.

  93. Restaurant chains come and go with the decades with tastes. This is no different

  94. "Web developement" is a skill so common that much of it is outsourced to turdworld countries. In one place I will not name they boast of their "tech startups" which always turn out to be independent programmers making phone apps.

  100. Fact of life in investing: The rise of retail trading corresponds to the rise of private equity markets. Ooph.
    13
  101. Apple's tax avoidance scheme works like this: US companies pay taxes on money earned abroad when it enters the US. Ergo Apple puts all the money earned abroad into Irish banks where corporate taxes are minimal, and holds it there until it is time to spend it in the US. Since Apple is an international company, some of the money never enters the US, and the money that does may be delayed for years effectively putting off the tax burden.

  102. There's a major real estate bankruptcy in China every day (literally). No one in China if one of the bigger one happens this month.
    13
  103. Caveat about active sanctions: Most of them ban specific oligarchs from certain countries.
    12
  104. I knew a manager at an airspace manufacturer making small aircraft parts. He pointed out his company always placed their factories in small cities or rural towns where the cost of living was cheap and simply set the starting wage to the average local wage. The result was good talent for less money, and most of their costs was in labor. Keep that in mind when you deride states with substandard wages.
    12
  105.  @scottstempmail9045  Exploited?!?!?! Pendejo, I repeat, the starting wage is the average local wage with the managers, engineers, and programmers getting paid significantly more. It's a good living because you can rent a one bedroom house for $400/month.
    12
  106. The same type of hypocrite like the people who rage about their own tax burden and fines whilst demanding more state owned social services. Politics brings out the hypocrite in A LOT of people, whether they're a rich chump or a methhead making minimum wage.
    12
  107. There's literally nothing you can say that won't make liars angry at you.

  109. I can say in advance that any regulation will enrage crypto pumpers because it will reduce volatility and ruin their anarchist delusions.

  110. @harlequin75  that's likely why they specialize in that topic. The tax scheme Mr. Bankman came up with us clever, and I cannot even tell you if it is legal or not

  112.  @bobtuiliga8691  Easier to make new small rule than remove old rules.

  113. The Pentagon has a similar issue. It use to be super busy in an era where hundreds of departments communicated by messager but now email is a thing and offices are in no particular order. Commanders complain about the half mile walks to pointless meetings
    11
  114. Patrick, how would you feel about the idea there is a venture capital bubble? There's literally tens of thousands of private equity firms doing minimal due diligence and people are becoming CEOs in the same manner that people become movie stars.
    11
  115. A curious remark from a man that intentionally destroyed his own country's industry. The day he died he was still working on bringing conditions to pre-war levels.
    11
  116. Greedy bastards don't like it when you discuss risks on get-rich-quick schemes
    11
  117. The Chinese housing markets are done some and Chinese stocks down a little. The trouble is Chinese markets are not efficient and stocks can be divorced from reality indefinitely.
    10
  118. "Levels of household debt are quite low." How you figure? Most banking in that part of the world are done through hawala (aka loan sharks). People borrowing to buy groceries is quite common even when times are good. These unregulated shadow banks wouldn't be reporting in how much debt they have outstanding.

  121. A large portion of their soldiers will admit to never having fired a rifle, and a large portion of the commanders don't even know who they in charge of. A common racket is to simply give your friend a command position, then immediately put them on an extended leave.

  123.  @CSHarvey  EVs are stupid cheap used, that's part of the reason people are complaining. The problem is almost all of these are being sold as prestige items to show off how hip you are while some of us just needed a thing to drive to work.

  126. 3:30 Debt use to considered a dirty business practice in Europe until the Renaissance. The idea of charging a fee for borrowing money without actually producing anything useful was sometimes seen as a form of extortion. Of course a lot of debt was issued under different names, like how the Templar Knights would lend interest free but charge "rent." Also, European Jews had no such illusions and often weren't allowed to own land or titles so many wealthy Jews became bankers instead. This is where the racial stereotype of a greed Jewish banker comes from.

  158.  @chuongnguyen5068  it's actually a trading psychology fact with skewed payoffs. Humans are often risk averse, so when there's a high chance of small profit and a small chance of catastrophic loss we often make no bet. Other humans are addicted to risk and will seek skewed payoffs where there be a high chance of small loss and small chance of epic gains. The result is stocks/derivatives with lottery like payoffs are generally cost more than they're really worth. A penny stock that's worth 25 cents a share may trade for 50 cents, or a call option expiring in a week may cost a dollar a share when it's worth half that given the expected return.

  162. Turkish elections Do Not Matter. It's convoluted but Turkey has a European style party-list system where many parties run and form a compromise government after. However, there's literally hundreds of parties in Turkey, most of them local tribal affairs, and the election threshhold is 10%. This means the bulk of the votes goes to whomever can "negotiate" deals with the most minor parties to add their votes to a larger party list (YES, they are buying votes). For obvious reasons this system favors the incumbent ruling party every time, who simply incorporates some of the opposition and buys off or fights off the rest. More importantly there are several parties banned, and they are targeted with trumped up charges and discrimination is not only tolerated but encouraged. Right now the Kurds are getting the hate but understand Turkey has always been at war with one part of its population or another. Brawls between parties are also common. No one knows exactly how much of this happens since no one local will talk about it but fist fights, harassment, arson, and sometimes murder between political activists is not uncommon. Like most middle east republics, Turkey was never really a democracy. It was an empire with a de facto Sultan granting fiefs as expedient just as they always have.

  163. They do. It's called insolvency.

  164. Trade liberalization? Dude, the change was an end of Nasserite era monopoly practices where only trade with certain allies was allowed for certain products. This gave local state affiliated factories near monopolies despite having no idea what they were doing.

  175. 7:10 The Nazis also permanently closed markets, mostly. They coerced the sale of some companies to the state or party members (often using arbitrary fines), while others were forced to take on state regulators on site to run things. While all the names were different, the end result was the same as in Communist Russia. The little stock/bond trading that took place were party members trading state backed assets with each other. All but a few markets were closed completely, and the remainder laid off virtually all permanent staff.

  177. Welcome to China. Wants to dominate world affairs but struggles to keep utilities on.

  178. People pushing these buyback taxes don't know what their talking about. Most publicly traded companies give long time associates bonuses in the form of shares, and for management this may even be the bulk of their pay. Buying shares from the open market and giving to employees is, in fact, the exact thing these idiots want to incentivize.

    6
  196.  @huytruong2026  Japan is the nation of savers. Most Chinese families and businesses have more debt than is even allowed in most countries (like borrowing 50 years worth of income to buy a house). Heck, the housing crisis with evergande had to do with extreme leverage and hidden debt, not factoring presale of houses which allow real estate agents to leverage to the tits by paying builders with the money from presales (again, not allowed in most countries).
    6
  197. Related fact: Archeologists say that finding treasure hoards and/or coins with holes in them (for use as jewelry) is the sign of a completely collapsed economy. There's simply nothing to spend that money on.

  207. Given all the new dollars on the market with the rise of Robinhood and such, do we expect a lot more IPOs in the coming decade?
    6
  208. Not necessarily. Older people tend to make more money so they can spend a little, while younger people spend little except on a few large purchases made with borrowed money. Not sure how the math works out
    6
  209.  @awesomeferret  If you can't borrow, you spend less, meaning sellers of goods are competing for buyers rather than the other way around.

  211. Lying about the rent does nothing for no one

  212. First thing to know about Egyptian economics: Corporations don't exist. All business ventures are either foreign-owned, government operated, or are simple kitchen industries. Even simple things like mechanics must be sourced from abroad, and they inflate their economic statistics by literally pretending the slums don't exist, which accounts for the bulk of the population. Stone quarries, for instance, pay seven dollars a day, and that's considered good enough pay to offset the likely event of losing limbs to saw blades (which happens routinely).

  224. 4:00 Yeah, people seem to equate insider trading with robbery but the only difference between a legal and illegal trade is some SEC paperwork.
    5
  225. A Russian I met said they have an opposite problem where they hate paperwork so they have no regs that aren't essential. It is possible to walk into a bank, tell them you're a millionaire, and walk out with a credit card. But the effect of this is banking and investment is super small scale, super profitable, and bubbles are rare because the only people asking for loans are the ones that really need it.

  244. Lose the bull
    5
  245. I have to agree with Milei on subsidies. Where I'm from, all the farmers grow corn if they can despite how a wheat/soy double crop being twice as productive and requiring a lot less water. The reason is ethanol. I remember when ethanol was introduced, no one bought it because it costs more than regular, but Mr. Obama subsidized it until it became cheaper and now everyone uses it. Now there's a lot more money in corn to make ethanol, so some farmers will even install pipes that cost as much as a new car just to give their fields more water just to produce less than they were before, all because the true cost is hidden via corporate taxes.
    5
  246. A lot are, many aren't

  247. These days most banks don't even offer variable interest loans.

  251. Boyle shouldn't travel to China after posting this and related content
    5
  252. I can explain: Fed raises rate they both borrow and lend at. Ergo, people borrow less from the government and lend more to the government. All that extra money is simply deleted, deflating the currency.
    5
  253. I'm a big advocate of de-regulation, but "won't let me get rich faster" or "won't let me take more risks" will never be an acceptable reason for removing rules.

  254. Lying about this does nothign for no one
    5
  255. More tonnage of concrete was poured in China than anywhere else, but most of the was being actively diluted with sand, recycled bottles, or used scrap metal in place of rebarb. The extensive use of concrete in China is sole down to simply how often it gets replaced.

  262. No, monopoly is owning ALL businesses. This is more like Roman bread and circus, where in order to achieve scale in a massive economy you must spend a fortune just to get people in the door.
    5
  263. Where rich idiots choose to live doesn't reflect much on normal life. For instance, millionaires might move to Africa, but that doesn't mean there are better services there since rich people can afford to import modern goods into Africa.

  275. Daily trading volumes was and still are at least ten times the share float and most of which were held by brokers not participating in stock lending. Just today GME traded 118% of it's total stock volume which is only possible as shares are bouncing around owners many times a day. This produces the wildest of volatility.

  309. The point of the video is the metric is nonsense
    4
  310. I'm sorry to say this act will also keep the energy bubble pumping.
    4
  311. Dear Mr Boyle: No one knows China's real GDP or population. The latter is inflated because governments compete for state resources and double counting expats, residents, and migrant workers is systemic. The former is exaggerated because officials compete for high office with bonuses, promotions, demotions, and so forth often given exclusively based on GDP data. Some officials have been caught falsifying GDP data, but most simply pump the housing bubble and double count both uncompleted projects and stuff companies based in their cities do in other provinces. End result: China's evonomic data is so bad that their central bank said they are having trouble keeping the currency price stsble.

  315. To be fair, the bank they promoted didn't break, it was the IT guys working for them who broke, even so people should have known a startup wasn't a safe place to bank when there are hundreds of century old banks to choose from
    4
  316.  @badboje6040  Really? Even cartel run cities and coyote infested border areas? Not even towns where English is spoken on the streets and most people work for US employers? States in the north of Mexico stand to make a ton of money from getting annexed not just due to the inflow of developed business, but because they'd get access to America's welfare programs.
    4
  317. Reality in America is always much more boring than anyone anticipates. And we're a bunch of whiners, so you can always be sure that when inflation isn't as bad as it could have been there will always be people insisting we change the metric so that it does show a major problem.
    4
  318.  @EcclesiastesLiker-py5ts  that have nothing to do with banks
    4
  319. There's a list of mismanagement issues causing British money to lose value: 1. Some officials wanted to lower taxes without lowering spending, so they borrowed money and said it was the same thing. 2. Britain pretends to fight a war with Russia via punitive sanctions. 3. US rising interest rates has a ripple effect to Britain where suddenly exports have dropped. 4. Uncoupling with the EU isn't smooth as certain industries have to be set up in Britain. 5. There are deliberately debilitating taxes and regs on oil and gas and subsidies on green energy, but no one is buying green stuff anyway.
    4
  320. Given how paranoid we are about politicians it's quite impossible for hundreds of different idiots to get into one scheme without voters losing their minds.

  321. SBF got liquidated. Company dissolved, money given to depositors

  322. That statement alone is a flat contradiction common in the Crypto Bubble. Nothing can be both an investment and a currency.

  344. I can speak for the plains, and homelessness largely doesn't exist here because housing is cheap. We have "couch surfing" where people stay at friends house, or live in abandoned buildings, or rip off landlords by making a deposit and then refusing to leave (forcible evictions take months or longer). Many assholes simply don't have to worry about that since they inherited houses that they live in and allow to rot. The state changed the definition of homeless so that they could falsely say we have a homelessness problem.

  370. The proliferation of small traders in a market originally reserved for "speculators of quality" has simply driven rich investors elsewhere. The private equity and prime brokerage markets are booming, which amount to if you have tens of millions to invest the investment bankers will bend over backwards to get it, even hunting down CEO's private phone numbers in order to invest in companies not listed on the exchange, or custom tailoring stock options.

  383. "Moving away from democracy costs the economy." Not necessarily. However, the crime/infighting that causes the collapse of elected institutions will also destroy an economy.

  390. Another reason demand has fallen for Chinese goods is that before they were stupid cheap due to ponzi schemes and dumping. The winner of these degenerative practices were, in fact, the consumers. But now that it's over, there are cheap labor forces closer to most developed countries and thus there's less import cost

  392. It's unclear if that will occur. This is a gray rhino type bubble, meaning Chinese businessmen desperate to become the biggest on the block will keep feeding into the maelstrom even when reality has become plain for all to see. Contrast this with the first world, where the bubble bursts instantly once it's existence becomes widely known.

  397. The US collectively owns much of the planet. That is not a metaphor, as near all US large caps are global firms, so it's pretty much impossible not to be invested in China. That plus most investors practice global diversification, passive investment funds indiscriminately buy stocks, and value investors like Mr Buffet will take any legal investment if the price is right. Politics is for the politicians.

  425.  @the11382  often no one buys. There are entire ghost cities populated by a few squatters. Other buildings drop their prices dirt cheap in the struggle to find renters. Other buildings in places where there's real demand are oversubscribed with presales. I recall one case where a judge required state funded builders to give compensation to landowners they forced to sell. So speculators bought up land ahead of the developers and built bear bones multi-leveled gazebos so they'd collect state compensation. The developers built a ghost city that was never used and was so shoddy you could crumble the cement with your hands. See? When corruption is involved you don't even need to sell. Although one real estate manager said he'd seen projects spend as much as 30% of their budget on bribes. This puts them in a scenario where they can either default on bank loans/payroll (and close up shop) or cheapen construction by skipping quality steps and actively diluting building materials.

  453. @daddybear236  even then it's bad, because it usually measures the value of goods if sold where produced and the cost of living varies wildly between cities. I.E. a factor in Moscow may make goods that look cheaper than similar goods made in London, but everything in Moscow is cheaper than in London so the two different GDP numbers may represent identical values. It's like how in Mexico you can eat at a restaurant for a dollar because while Mexico is poorer than the US the fact everyone's wage is s*** means the costs of essentials is also cheap.

Thus indirectly effects bitcoin's price because the man on the other side of the trade is probably an arbitrager.

However, in times of high volatility this can make prices behave strangely as everyone rebalances all at once.

  487. No one cares about their currency dominating the market except egomaniacs and incompetents. But the reason there are a number of global cuurencies is if two small nations want to trade it is easier to use the currency of a big mutual trading partner. Less exchange issues as everyone can use it. Also, a small nation who trades a lot with a big nation will end up with a lot of its cash in its borders there's not much incentive to exchange for the local currency. The reason some politicians have a problem with it is it makes it blindingly obvious which economy is dependent on whose.

  574.  @carly09et  You're trying really hard to sound smart, but what you said conflicts reality in several places that has nothing to do with your argument, so I assume you're just commenting on subjects you care nothing for
    2
  575. Yeah, poor people do buy small luxury items. They're usually irresponsible people or people if with skewed priorities. Many will complain about either their wage or social services. I.E. Lady refuses to buy her son school materials but still has the latest iPhone. Greed has no regard for class.

  576. ​@lowwastehighmelanin what part of California?

  577. The SEC is notoriously backlogged. I think they're prosecuting according to size, not date.
    2
  578. Homes are assets, the mortgages you buy them with are liabilities.
    2
  579. Business in India is mostly just cons conning cons. Don't be surprised there's so many major frauds coming out of there.
    2
  580. That's the poiny
    2
  581. "Inequality" reports are all envy driven bullshit. If the results don't reflect "rich get richer" they will simply change the metrics.
    2
  582. They technically have it, they just don't know who owns what. And banks don't actually move physical dollars, it's all stored in the Fed's vaults, so when a bank forgets who they owe and who owes them, the money has been erased.

  583. He was never a billionaire. He made tens of millions

  584. We're clearly dealing with a systemic issue but the real question is... Does China care?

  585. Turkey can't even afford concrete, let alone a gold reserve

  586. It was Sam's company

  587. It's a mix of scams, greed, and stupidity.
    2
  588. @Loredana Godorogea  cost of living is high in that city, you're deliberate vague on timeline, quality of cheese varies wildly, and your statement couldn't be more useless if you tried
    2
  589. She didn't. It was money laundering

  590.  @omedyie5066  no, I'm just telling you to quit backseat governing in the most assholistic way possible
    2
  591. Lying does nothing for no one. It's a statistical fact that many casual users just left
    2
  592. That is literally true, given Disney's credit rating is much better than the Brazilian government's.
    2
  593. There's no way in hell Congress or the bureaucracy is enforcing punitive tariffs on the Mexicans or Canadians. I know we like to pretend they're independent countries but the Americans own their bodies, end of story.
    2
  594.  @mirror452  you say that as if you know for a fact the auditors will find systemic criminal activities, hense all the meaningless rhetoric. It's not like we all know that "sensitive data" is a euphemism for "secrets."

  595. Why the frick would he? The banks barely even function there.

  596. @RipTheJackR  politicians were always old men even back before democracy.

  597. Be realistic. It's going to be sold dirt cheap and pay for weapons.
    2
  598. There are two unrelated wars. One with guns which the west doesn't want its citizens participating in. One with trade in which idiots try to beat each other into submission with boycotts.
    2
  599. His crime is he lied to banks so he could get an absurd amount of leverage.

  600. It's mostly Bill Gates and associates. Bigger mature tech firms who are profitable
    2
  601. The one when you were kicked off Facebook
    2
  602. Because it is envy driven, not an actual assessment of what the top is doing. Also, there was a time before globalization when the super rich didn't exist and prtty elites were the source of politics
    2
  603. Twitter is going bankrupt
    2
  604. In many ways Japan had an opposite problem as China as they are a nation of savers, not borrowers. Since unrealized capital gains could be counted as income, though...
    2
  605. Banks won't give you floating rate mortgages anymore. A fixed rate always starts a bit higher than the current floating rate, but that is just to cover the cost of insurance the bank buys (unless you're SVB).
    2
  606.  @casacara  it's not necessarily it IS, but how it WILL. Like how people indiscriminately buy EV stocks ignoring all logic and risk management, that's an ESG investment.
    2
  607. If I were Russian, I'd take out a loan to buy some of these for peanuts.
    2
  608.  @Barad-Dur_IsACapitalOfMordor  and I sold RUSL puts an hour before delisting was announced. I'm sitting on losses but the other guy can't exercise his options, meaning likely big gain for me despite historic lows.
    2
  609. There's no one group setting ESG standards. In fact, most ESG investment funds set their own standards.
    2
  610. Investors got 2/3 back

  611. John Law would burn money literally. The Fed is doing so digitally.
    2
  612.  @SusCalvin  John McAfee doesn't speak for libertarians. You're thinking greedy bastards, because greedy people are anti-government when in private business and pro-government when in public business
    2
  613. Current battery technology cannot compete with chemical fuels, period.
    2
  614. A lot of these services aren't worthless
    2
  615. In other news, China has acute fuel shortages and is claiming to be wealthier than America. Literally, it's being presented as fact by a lot of sources.
    2
  616. The right decision is usually the most profitable long term. EVs are not profitable
    2
  617. I wouldn't count the scam currencies (most of them).
    2
  618. You?
    2
  619. To show how old the "moving out of California" problem is, Breaking Bad was set out in the American desert because the cost of living and taxes were lower there.
    2
  620. @randomnobody8770  It's like Patrick said, the major cities behave like archipelagoes. The cost of living may be low in California farmland, but in the chokepoints of Hollywood and Silicon Valley costs are so high that even six figures might not be enough. Cops in Malibu, where America's rich live, have a starting wage above 90 grand a year but the average monthly rent is over 2 grand.
    2
  621. I'll take that bet. Because there's no way I can be forced to pay up.
    2
  622. The elites of India are as honest as the telemarketers of India. What a surprise.
    2
  623. How much have you lost on stocks?
    2
  624. Bought my first house a few months ago. The paperwork was rigorous but the interest rate was equal to the rate of inflation. The banker said they expected interest rates and inflation to fall and told me to simply refinance when that happened. They immediately sold my debt to an investment bank that's being a real jerk and won't let me pay ahead and wants me to trip up miss something so I'd pay late fees. In both of our cases, the biggest loser are the people who happened to be holding the loan when things don't go their way.
    2
  625. It's all just symptoms of low interest rates. Everyone can easily max out leverage with equity funding and there's always more rich chumps to fund your lifestyle while maybe having a business take off.
    2
  626. The latter never started
    2
  627. Patrick doesn't taint his channel with politics
    2
  628. Do you have a death wish?
    2
  629. That will happen when the states stop growing. That's also the day that stock markets stop yielding 10% a year.
    2
  630. Vhut?
    2
  631. Terrible mileage? Hybrids are more complicated to build and maintain but they get better fuel mileage
    2
  632. Because they're secretly very poor
    2
  633. You have zero evidence of that. And leverage doesn't imply greed, neither does trading when yer already rich. The fact of the matter you're doing all the same things you're damning rich people for doing.
    2
  634.  @gbxmusicchannel3836  berating me is counterproductive. The bottom line is politicians are people like any other and you're obviously jealous. And didn't you own Tesla stock before that announcement? You're almost as likely to KNOW FOR A FACT HE WOULD SAY THAT BEFORE IT HAPPENED. I can't find Mr Peloci's 1099 to make my own assessment but from news reports he owned calls and shares in tech giants. Buying short dated OTM calls right before an announcement is suspicious, amassing shares by selling puts is not suspicious. And I manage to find what reality was for that specific trade: 1. Going electric was Biden's campaign promise, not inside info. 2. Paul bought calls a month before the announcement. 3. Biden didn't place any order for vehicles, he simply directed department heads to start buying EV. It looks like Paul was just lucky. I only found this because there was a debunking article as there were even more wildly exaggerated versions on Facebook.
    2
  635. No, he definitely isn't
    2
  636. I imagine there's a couple hours worth of outtakes.
    2
  637. That's silly. Washington doesn't control the Fed and the Fed targets an inflation rate of 1-2%.

  647. Interesting to note that while she was being hailed by all newspapers everywhere for empowering women, Holmes was deepening her voice so those same people would take her seriously.
    2
  648. Heck, you need a small book just to understand how to fairly price a stock option.
    2
  649. Social media doesn't care. They'll assume it's material evidence in fraud cases until each individual reads it. Most of them won't read it.
    2
  650. I suspect mass delistings will become a thing in a few years. Some companies will survive because they either lay flat and followed the rules or they simply fooled all auditors
    2
  651.  @BUSeixas11  bullshit. The researchers think they're smarter and have brighter futures than they really do
    2
  652.  @computingbee  You're a liar too

  653. If he were rich he wouldn't be a full time YouTuber. Retired in this case means laid off and given up on his original career.
    2
  654. Dude, you can google inflation adjusted values. And no, the dollar hasn't lost that much of it's value. Around the time of the events in question one or two dollars was a good day's wage.

  656. Guys, I think the Discover corporation may have beat us to the idea of an app that lets us do anything with our money.
    2
  657. The Pacific coast is the only part of the US/Canada that actually feels like a foreign country because it's separated from everything else by mountains and deserts. It's more like a Pacific Island nation like Australia than anything else, a lot of things are very expensive because they have to be imported.
    2
  658. More likely she's targeting companies she is personally familiar with regardless if it makes sense
    2
  659. They usually are. But that doesn't stop reporters, influencers, and jealous people on social media who haven't read the report from presenting it as proof of fraud.

  664. National egos will never allow that.
    2
  665. Their offices do have armed guards, and they do have SWAT teams of policemen to go after tax evader. The reason is sone people are so greedy they'd rather terror attack IRS offices rather than pay their share for public services. One guy even flew a cessna plane into an IRS office... in the middle of a crowded skyscraper.

  673. We measure the economy by whatever is down right now. Except when everything is up, then we threaten The Rich for making too much money.
    2
  674. FTX was running a casino where they could cheat. Nikola had nothing.
    2
  675. Not really monopoly, as that's illegal, but economies of scale and global preeminence. I.E. We call them all Uber drivers even though most of them also work for Lyft.

  677.  @lucadappiano8758  It's called lying. If Milei did the opposite he'd complain that GDP was going up by Ponzi scheme
    2
  678. That's not how inflation works
    2
  679.  @sean721  hey, I could teach a teenager to trade reasonably well. And you need a parent to cosign the account if you're under 18 (of course you can get around that). And minors buying stocks isn't new. And frankly it isn't any significant money maker since teens have little if any savings.
    2
  680.  @susymay7831  yeah. They do that too.
    2
  681.  @sean721  you have to signoff a bunch of SEC mandated disclosures when you open an account that no one reads. There's some spread helpers on the ap that I never used. There's some learning videos that few watch. I think a teen degenerate enough to do what you describe will simply become an adult degenerate anyway.

  682. No. Those are all rusting in fields

  691. I think a lot of these unicorns are just ponzi schemes so elaborately disguised not even the founders can be sure it's a Ponzi scheme
    2
  692.  @buildmotosykletist1987  Not if you do anything ridiculous. Once you go beyond a 12 hour day or 60 week productivity starts falling due to exhaustion. I once quit on my first day because they were expecting us to work 80 hours or more... I told them I was enrolled in college during the interview. Also, that place was only 30% staffed.
    2
  693. Indeed, because both of those actually exist in Nigeria
    2
  694. No... that's not how that works. You're assuming trading wheat means hoarding it, but with price spikes you could simply sell for considerable profit. Some people do that for modest no-risk returns. Think about it, it's a real world service where you store food during good times and ration it out during bad times and get paid.
    2
  695.  @thickcheeks9603  wheat futures reflect anticipated future wheat prices, the spot price reflects current prices.
    2
  696.  @thickcheeks9603  also, a wheat trader may sell short wheat and buy a future in order to capture the high price risk free, and by doing so increase the immediately available supply. The only reason anyone would hoard wheat while prices are high is they fear things getting much worse.
    2
  697.  @fact4fiction35  you don't read much engineering publications? One of his inventions was he looked at a toy car on his desk and saw how injection molding made them stupid cheap and wondered what's the max limit to how big you can make those. The answer was there was none, so he and his crew bought the biggest hydraulic press on the market, and crafted a liquid metal injection molding tool to make large parts for Teslas, turning dozens of parts into a handful and reducing time, labor, and maintenance to build Tesla components.

  698. American fast food brands are considered fine dining in China. Chinese people import all food if they can afford it
    2
  699. So?
    2
  700.  @John-zs8jg  that narrows down where you live considerably. In the West Bank and rich/westernized portions of oil states there are formalized banks. It's also not remotely surprising you didn't know what a hawala is.
    2
  701.  @John-zs8jg  you have a Lebanese surname. In more developed urban areas there's a lot of small banks whose functionality is on a knife's edge. But in rural/poor neighborhoods you can find Hawalas as easily as you can black market guns.

    2
  708. Vhut? Rockefeller really did improve the quantity and quality of industry, that's why he was unfathomably rich. And you can't buy power in the civilized world these days. You should here about Frank Phillips, who built a museum out of his own pocket because he didn't want to lay off his workers during the depression.

  725. Shut up
    2
  726. Nah. Only handfuls of people saw it coming. Everyone else figured it out at the same time and BOOM, crash happened within a week. Meanwhile China's gray rhino type bubble involves decades of building collapses, high profile corruption busts, bankruptcies, and so forth but people kept buying in driving new ventures up.

    2
  730. You meant that as a reply to someone?
    2
  731. That might actually work. Since a coin of you mocking people isn't a scam like most meme coins, so instead of a pump and dump it can go up indefinitely if you manage artificial scarcity right.

  736. Update: The SEC has charged Icahn with incorrect disclosures because he hid his margin loans from investors and faces heavy fines. The SEC action is limited because technically Ponzi schemes are not illegal, the fraud that supports them is.

    2
  741.  @jonathantaylor6926  Social Security comes out your taxes and is a tiny fragment of the overall budget. And governments issued self-secured loans. T-bills are backed by a money printer, the largest gold reserve in human history, and millions of soldiers and police.

    2
  766. The company whose default collapsed Greensill has come to terms with creditors. Credit Suisse is among the bagholders. The lawsuit between the insurance company and Greensill is ongoing as they refused to be a bagholder when Greensill had been lying to them the whole time.

  768. Bribery is involved in some cases. Also, the loans you see in the news are due to degenerative behaviors.
    2
  769. WOAH. Egypt and Saudi Arabia ARE NOT FRIENDS. They fought each other in Yemen in the 1960's and the death of Nasser did nothing to repair relations. However, you'll find most of Egypt's closest associates are people they're also threatening war against. Like Sudan, or other Egyptians.
    2

  779. With those limited edition shoes/clothes you can actually flip them for a profit. You just have to fly to another city, wait in line all night, buy what you can, then auction them off later. One full time dealer says his sales is over 50 grand a year which covers expenses and a decent living. Apparently there's no shortage of chumps with money to burn.

  780. What are the odds the creators already got a plane ticket out of the country?

  781. Causes of the bankruptcies include wild speculation and leverage in the housing bubble, embezzlement via ficticious loans, subprime loans (interest rates as high as 50% are not unheard of), and the slowing down of the global economy. Many of the bankers are also "white gloves," meaning they are professional money launderers working for public officials. This protection is not enough for money of these banks going under and some bankers have fled the country.

  786.  @ducknorris233  It's because the bank can hedge away that risk with an interest rate swap. They set their own interest rate, so they just price in their own insurance.

For comparison, there are 12,000 corporations worth over a billion dollars in the US, plus 10,000 hedge funds, plus tens of thousands more institutional investors. By simple law of averages you'll see felonies and large scale misdomeanors every year. I actually made this the subject of some of my criminology studies, and I found the US exhibits none of the signs you'd expect if there were systemic market crimes.

  801. Good, not perfect. Some items behave like luxuries even if they aren't that fat of margin, like new cars (especially Teslas). Others have fat margins because for some reason there's high risk or other costs. Like how it can cost as much to ship in heavy equipment to remote placed as the equipment costs itself. Or in new medicine where the R&D and insurance costs are something ridiculous.

I saw one clip where a construction worker broke an inch thick rebarb with his bare hands. Again, that's something only possible if it's actively diluted. Other issues include soil compaction, or more like the lack of it. And the concrete is usually pretty thin.

The legislation in question was not Reagan's brainchild and the ideals that bare Reagan's name weren't a thing until after he left office (like most president's Reagan has a toxic fan base). Besides how the bulk of the crash in question was definitely not due to any legislation whatsoever, as there's no debate that the common practice at the time of rolling stop loss orders caused about 1/6th of the crash with much of the rest being Japan's bubble bursting and technical arbitrage stuff.

What you're talking about is statistical arbitrage where you find the total value of all the assets in an ETF and you short whichever is expensive and buy whichever is cheap. This requires a lot of quick math and is mostly done with computer traders.

  905. Statistically speaking in China, investment performance is directly proportional to account size, meaning the top 10% of accounts consistently beat the market by huge margins while the bottom 10% consistently lose money. Meanwhile in the first world, not even well connected and rich and brilliant star fund managers can consistently beat the market average. I wonder why...
    2
  906. Dude, governments are self-insured. Meaning in order to be considered a sovereign government, there must be no one in the world that can enforce payment. But more importantly, this has nothing to do with Washington's ability to pay the bills and everything to do with idiots extorting concessions on unrelated matters. Now go pay your bills you bum.

Rolex originally was not a luxury brand, it was the most durable and accurate pre-digital watch on the market that could be seen on the wrists of professional adventures (Astronauts, army officers, explorers, etc). Likewise fast fashion functions as a luxury that commoners can afford. You're thinking of wine snobs and similar idiots
    2
  914. One of Buffet's trading rackets are options on the weather. A payout is given based on the size of hurricane that lands in a given area. Buyers of these options are usually insurance companies who will need that money to pay out insurance claims. A sort of insurance for insurance.
    2
  915. There's industries keeping people in that area
    2
  916. There's one big one: With grunt office jobs you can't trust people to get all their work done, and many office jobs require daily meetings between coworkers. I won't pretend I have all the answers for who does and doesn't need a physical office, but many are only requiring people in the office on certain days of the week.

  917.  @bestbeloved2704  don't you have a meme stock to pump?
    2
  918. You make it sound like the Egyptian army running most businesses was actually legal. No, it simply racketeering. The army doesn't have to follow any of Egypt's regulations simply because they have bribe money and guns and most of the officers are directly related to the civilian command (you can literally buy rank in Egypt). During Nasser's day the army officers simply did whatever they wanted, often not showing up at work for weeks or months at a time, and getting "bonuses" for carrying out "special" tasks.

We. Own. You.

  933. ​ @cyfangz9238  It is transitory. Now shut up and get drafted.
    2
  934. In most cases, if there is any question that a megaproject will turn a profit, it should be attempted. If people say it has value even if it loses money, it should not even be considered. It's like buying a house on a national scale, you really need to sacrifice what you need to what you can afford because there's big mortgages involved.

  936. They got a 99 year lease on a naval station last time. I assume they'll take payment in kind again since that area is beyond Beijing's reach. Or just as likely Chinese banks will default on their own loans again.

  937. You judge too harshly. The math depends on the relative numbers. Big interest rate decline plus modest price increase equals cheaper housing.

  942. And corruption. Which one was it that straight up stole a company by using eminent domain and a worthless promise of payment?
    2
  943. The loophole is it's legal to loan a Chinese guy money to buy stocks on you behalf. This is so common that the rule you mention is almost irrelevant, because while foreigners aren't on any board of directors they can still dictate affairs by threatening to pull their money out.

These steamships did not use subsidies to make rides cheap, but to make them nicer while charging full price. Vanderbilt created a discount steamship that saved money partially by buying no insurance and faced off in the uphill battle. Vanderbilt won because the other guy had grown dependent on handouts that were withdrawn to save money, making Vanderbilt the biggest ocean liner who could afford giant ships. I bring this up because ultimately politics makes no difference.

  1146.  @michaelstanley5215  not if have any idea what you're talking about. "Organic fertilizer" is just animal poop and any other decayed organic matter that's on hand. "Chemical fertilizer" refers to any number of man made things, the most common of which are identical to the active ingredients in manure (namely ammonium nitrate and ammonium). There are cheaper chemicals that put nitrates in the soil out there, but only fools use them as they degrade the quantity and quality of crops each time. Where I'm from farmers like to plant two crops each season to get double yield (usually wheat and soy). This requires more fertilizer than can be supplied by animals, but is super productive.

  1147. Corrections: 2/3rds are in t-bills whose profits help cover expenses. 1/3rd is required by the broker as collateral for the futures, but brokers only require a part of the total value of a cash-settled future to be posted. The SEC is allowing zero leverage with these kinds of ETFs, so most of the fund is actually in t-bills being used as collateral.

To say nothing of regulatory abuse where laws are rigged to make it easy for locals to rip off foreign companies. Chinese capitalism is what Communists think all capitalists are like.

  1203. The existence of punishments does not debunk a systemic issue. Besides, we know that at least some of the men jailed in China are so because they ticked off men in high places. Easy way to do that is to dig up dirt and trump up the evidence. It's also a statistical fact there's insider trading. Not only are the largest retail investor accounts the highest performing, their winning trades are mostly ones considered suspicious like sales before bad earnings. Most of the rest were in companies based in the same city as the rich investor. The biggest 10% of Chinese investors beat the market consistently, while the smallest 50% overall lose money.

  1204. Not all of it. The top ten richest men get a lot of attention regardless how they got their money and Mr. Forbes loves talking about politics.

    1
  1222. That's silly. Whomever controls said currency simply replaces the "politicians" you're complaining about. And most central banks are already independent for this very reason. And the dollar and to a lesser extent the euro already fill this role, with many countries that experience currency collapses undergoing rapid dollarization.
    1
  1223. @commonsensetrading4103  but as Patrick said in the video, that takes power out of local hands to decide their own inflation and interest rates. Which is a big deal since different events effect different economies differently. Shared currencies mostly only work when the economies of two states are one and the same, but shared economies also favor the whole land being under one government. You see this reflected in the Euro, where the sovereign states get along well but every little policy issue threatens to break the Euro. Likewise, the US allows most of its proxies to have their own currency because people will use dollars anyway for international and large purchases.
    1
  1224.  @commonsensetrading4103  Did you see all the drama within the EU? Like how Greece cooked the books in order to appear to follow EU rules then defaulted? Or how Italy wants more inflation than other EU states because they export mostly? Stuff like this is why England left, because the arrangement profits small, poor, and/or remote countries at the expense of the lead states. The lead states are only into this stuff if they can gain power from the arrangement, like how France and Germany have surrounded themselves with proxy states.

And in China the literal opposite is true, where foreign companies are even required to disclose even patent information, which is why there's an abundance of copycat Chinese goods. In fact, Apple said the only reason they put up with it is because by the time the knockoffs emerge they're already becoming obsolete. Beijing's motive isn't to protect "sensitive data," it's to beat out the competition. And in this case it is more than likely they know Evergrande style degeneracy is systemic.

    1
  1321. @the1beard  not if you've ever been to a civilized country. In this country you can identify the age of a neighborhood by the building style. Brick buildings that fill up the whole plot they are built upon were built in the old west days before the railroads. People instead sourced bricks locally. Many townhouses are so old that they have posts with a steel ring by the road for hitching horses because they predate the car. You remember the World Trade Center? The building hit in 9/11? That building couldn't withstand a jet plane impact because it predated the invention of the jet plane, and instead was rated against an accidental crash by the biggest plane in existence in the 1940s. The reason there are so many newish buildings is because this region is still being settled and has continuously received migrants since the Jamestown colony. 200 years ago, most of the US was completely uninhabited.

In fact, all the cash-only businesses I've seen all turn out to either be seedy businesses or are in seedy neighborhoods. Everyone else does checks or debit transactions. In the towns you bring up, a large portion of the population is from high crime areas, and/or is an illegal alien, and/or the town is high-crime. I know it is the fashion to judge America by the lowest common denominator, but the average US town is where people can't be bothered to lock their doors and the vast majority of crime is substance abuse related.

  1415. I can confirm from experience that certain Federal regulations have virtually zero enforcement. You see all those semis on the highway? They are all routinely breaking the regs and simply falsify Uncle Sam's paperwork. Likewise most car and airplane mechanics never even open the manual unless they have a problem they can't fix themselves and often use other than prescribed methods and materials just because it works. Also, traffic laws are made for cars and there are norms in motorcycles that are considered bad to ignore while there are traffic laws that are widely ignored by motorcycles for safety reasons. I.E. it is safer for a motorcycle to ride the shoulder rather than wait to get squashed in stop and go traffic.

  1416.  @SusCalvin  There's one internet legend about a cop in court who said that he saw the permit but it was not displayed in the driver's side windshield as required so he wrote a ticket. The owner said it was a motorcycle and had neither driver's side nor windshield. The judge sighed, lectured the cop that the spirit and letter of the law do not always align, then dropped the ticket.

Those idiots were too busy arguing about who to blame for immigration jail backlogs that they delayed DHS budget requests to resolve immigrantion jail backlogs. There are a number of possible schemes a politician could do, though. Like presenting conspiracy theories about Moderna as fact to Congress whilst shorting the stock. But in that case it's straight forward securities fraud and no special restrictions are needed. Of course the reason such scandals don't materialize as often as idiot reporters want them too is because there are 542 Federal elective offices and frankly that's a small pool of people to be looking for felonies.

  1447.  @lori7196  Why the frick would government workers care to operate at a profit? Any deficit is coming out of taxes anyway. And you don't need to instruct anyone to provide essentials, in a free market if it is possible to turn a profit providing some service, SOMEONE WILL DO IT. Heck, the Romans even let private corporations run just about everything, even the fire department and veteran benefits. And copying what I said doesn't mean I'll assume you know anything about business management. My own remarks come from my days in private security and as a jailer.

And China works very hard to look like a developed country even while having living standards closely akin to Mexico. Ergo you get narrow local highways built paper thin that turn to rubble in a few years, while a handful of decent but overcrowded roads have heavy tolls and predatory fines which is how the road is paid for. One YouTube who lived in China said on local highways you'll find mostly motorcycles and semis as the former aren't allowed on toll roads and the latter can't afford to keep paying all those fees (I.E. a 5 ton weight limit on a 4 ton truck, plus cops get a cut of every ticket issued).

  1495. That's silly. You can't ban losing money because hard times happen, and when you're starting any business there's a time between when you start building and when you start making money. I.E. You may take investors to build a railroad, post losses for a year while building it, then post profits when it is operational. Warren Buffet himself said he can't rule out investing in a company with zero revenue, but he rarely buys companies that are losing money because generally the risks outweigh the rewards he says. A lot of the blitzscalers did become profitable, if only slightly. However, a lot of these firms have no intention of becoming profitable and are simply ponzi schemes funded by pyramid schemes. The founders know they will dissolve, but get to spend as much as a decade living the high life until then. The initial investors don't care, they just want to scale up the business so they can dump their share at a profit on the open market. Identifying and avoiding these idiots is an effective way to get money.

  1641. Dude, US banking regs are so strict that many countries straight up refuse to let Americans open bank accounts. And the reason these guys went under was because they were all retards in a special way. Signature bank was run by buffoons, SVB was full of greedy bastards and incompetent political hires/investments, and Credit Suisse had a preverse incentive system that encouraged crime.

  1650. They're stacked in favor of the incumbant. They serve the role of revealing which lesser politicians need to receive bribes in the form of government jobs. When the incumbent dies, they fight
    1
  1651. Weird libel. No bribes are involved in food inspections, it just needs done. I am aware of one case in Germany of what you describe. Remember that hoopla over guns that only fire when authorized users hold them? That started with a German firm Armatrix that had a good proof-of-concept device that was only useable by niche markets and few people wanted the gun because it was overpriced, and despite having no factory whatsoever or means to get one they were already lobbying the German government to make them mandatory. Gunsmiths all over the world regarded this as extortion and the scheme failed so spectacularly that no one wants to make smart guns anymore because New Jersey has a law on the books that makes them mandatory once declared "feasible."

  1652. Not regulated by the US. They have their own country's regs, but those are sometimes lacking.

  1653. No one cares
    1
  1654. Depends mostly where the immigrants are from. In France just now some teenaged immigrants gang raped a 12 year old for the given reason she said she was Jewish. This is not the first case of this, because there was once an entire mosque that put up one of their members to behead a school teacher not for anything offensive she said, but because she said mocking the prophet (among other religious figures) was unacceptable but not illegal in France (which was true).

He said he didn't know what they were making a big deal about since nothing he was accused of is illegal, and personally I think there's a DEI hire behind the investigation.

  1776. It's a Ponzi scheme and are quite the norm in the shittier parts of Asia. Most of these blitzscalers follow sin-a-little economics where they are almost Ponzi schemes and hide most of the risk with equity loans that have no specified payment dates. This is how handfuls of allegedly genius businessmen rise to the top including Bill Gates and Jeff Bazos, but most fail

  1813.  @j3i2i2yl7  Come on, the only one fixated on campaign contributions is you. Nah, politicians do spend a large portion of their careers fretting over the next election, but most of that time is spent organizing campaigns and trying to get their name in the news. Donations buy ads no one watches, but sensationalized statements mean idiot reporters will do the work for you.
    1
  1814.  @jonnelson9760  Not necessarily criminal, criminals usually complain about the enforcers and not always the law themselves. I think what you mean to say is people complain about stuff that physically prevents them from doing dangerous/malicious stuff they want to do. Like Oceangate where the CEO got himself killed breaking all the rules that were in place to protect him.

  1816. No one cares
    1
  1817.  @j3i2i2yl7  often not, as the ability to swallow the total loss of a factory is helpful. Namely, the machine shop I work at because the contract to supply parts for one plane is suddenly ending, which was about half our business for a 1200 person company. Lots of hoopla, but we've avoided layoffs.

  1890. It simply becomes illegal to us them in the US if they don't follow US rules. And decentralized ventures consistently have a handful of guys with admin access, making them highly centralized even anyone who wants to can contribute to the system

  1893. Easy. Start out rich, get VC funding, get a mortgage, use friends in high places.

  1894. Russia's economy is largely unplugged from the global economy these days. Not because of sanctions, but because how far everything is from everything else.
    1
  1895. That's silly. First off rich Chinese people buy land in the civilized world just to get their money out of China. Second there were only a handful of suspect cases tied to espionage and foreign interference, not large scale buying,

  1898. The oil states freely mix employees and slaves. Obviously the skilled westerners are well paid and treated nicely because they need them, but the grunts simply have their passports seized and are held prisoner. This practice actually costs them more money than they steal, because locals simply will not work for them on a permanent basis and the slaveowners must import workers from as far as Indonesia. Crime doesn't pay even when the government is doing it.

  1910.  @JohnSmith-pn1vv  Except it was impossible to plan and profit off that since dollar globalization was involuntary.
    1
  1911. @Tech with Shon  lying by omission does nothing here considering how China for many decades targeted inflation above America's in order to incentivize exports. Plus China's central bank is having trouble due to all the fake money and falsified economic data, so a low inflation rate is coincidence given the general volatility.
    1
  1912. @Roger Kinnard  China's currency value varies a lot month to month and the Yuan trades at totally different prices domestically versus abroad.
    1
  1913.  @TheScourge007  all the goons on this thread are lying the same way by giving China's inflation rate this month as this year. Hmm.

  1915.  @alanpartington2540  liar

  1922. @Jimbo Jimbo  and hundreds of regional banks. We're not going to ban small banks and some people will try to run them until it ceases to be profitable
    1
  1923. There are thousands of scammers, some get really lucky
    1
  1924. I think this comment demonstrates a concept that's common but doesn't have a name: Trying to sound smart to win an argument rather than saying anything of substance.

  1927. Probably a law student's life savings, and it was a class action. And lying about a judge can get to jailed for contempt
    1
  1928. It's been rigged for ages. They have a party list system, meaning any number of parties run and after the election the parties form a coalition that reflects most votes. There are no barriers of entry forming a party, so most are tiny things with local politicians. However, the threshhold for getting seats in Parliament is as high as possible, so small parties much latch onto larger parties or simply throw out their votes. The incumbent President controls police censorship, national budgets, an appointment powers to any government job so the incumbant ALWAYS wins. The elections serve the purpose of finding who needs a cut of the government's power and money.
    1
  1929. What mess? The Mess is everyone who wants a house and can afford one already ones it. Subsidized at the expense of idiot bankers who thought low interest rates would last forever

  1938. Bizarre equivalency, as even in the days where corporations were allowed to be governments and have monopolies this was not the norm. Socialism is, by definition, a government monopoly on all business.

    1
  1944.  @stephenm3470  Growing economies incentivize deficit spending so government services can be provided without heavy tax burdens. Likewise shrinking economies incentivize government savings programs because there's nothing to invest that money in anyway.

  1950.  @guywebster8018  Coffee is a crime journalist. And the Fed does what it wants no matter what anyone thinks.
    1
  1951.  @piccalillipit9211  Again, that's akin to a mortgage. Debt levels haven't just been more extreme in the past, we're actually below our own historic debt loads. The most extreme debt examples come from newly formed states on the old frontier where literally everyone had a mortgage to set up farms, mines, and shops and the banks could only fund this because they got mortgages from back east. This trend STILL HAS NOT ENDED, as most Europeans are invested in America, and America still receives migrants. Unrelated, Chinese average corporate debt is twice that of the US not including hidden debt. Hence the volatility of the economics there.
    1
  1952.  @piccalillipit9211  I didn't say China was screwed. China was always a shithole, and this is just the most recent iteration of infighting there. And I'll wager your portfolio of cryptos has collapsed.

    1
  1968. How can you talk so much but say so little?

  1969. Worse, since there's not only a government that's cooking the books and bankrupt, you have boatloads of criminal gangs that will abuse the easy of transferring money out of the country.

  1973. @gabbar51ngh  the phrase "well documented" is a tell-tale sign of bullshit when speaking of criminal incidents. I am unfamiliar with any alleged Bombay Plan and cannot confirm or deny any of that.

  2066. Could be used as such, yes. There are places in Africa where TracPhone minutes are used as money because their value is more stable than turdworld currency and lots of people own cheap tracphones.

Germany had decades of trade deficit, and since they were using silver/gold/copper coins there was only so much new money that could be minted, leading to decades of deflation, falling wages, and money hoarding. Greedy bastards spread conspiracy theories that employers were hoarding vast treasures and were simply unwilling to part with it.

  2108. Reverse engineering only goes so far. For instance, Apple puts up with their Chinese partners ripping them off because the copycats are obsolete by the time they reach the market.

  2250.  @IamGrimalkin  oh god, DO THE MATH PENDEJO! Giving $1000 to charity reduces taxable income by $1000. If you are taxed at 30%, this reduces your tax burden by $300. The fraud part is completely unrelated. Basically, it's when you transfer money to yourself or someone you owe money to and count it as charity. This is tax fraud. It's easy for normal people to get away with in small amounts as you can simply claim to have made regular cash donations to church. But rich people have IRS auditors assigned to them and famous people have idiot reporters scrutinizing their lives. It would take a far more elaborate scheme for anyone to get away with that, and I know of no such allegation against any rich guy you would have heard of. There was the "Queen of Mean" who infamously said "Taxes are for little people." She went to prison for tax evasion.

  2257.  @CommanderRiker0  that's baseless to the point of libel. The price of gold has varied so much over the centuries with sometimes being so high that not even governments could mint coins with them, and at other times being relatively cheap due to some nations stripping the gold from other nations in wartime. But more importantly, if gold was rising in value, WHY THE FRICK WOULD WE USE IT AS CASH??? We want people to spend or invest their money, not hoard it. The real bottom line is a Roman soldier was paid an amount of gold roughly equal to a modern soldier's pay (although post industrialization the price of most common goods have become stupid cheap).
    1
  2258.  @CommanderRiker0  I'm going to assume that stat has a typo, because if it doesn't than you're a liar who thinks everyone else is stupid. Also, your statements flatly contradict each other, as before you said gold slowly gains value while now you said it holds it value.

  2310. I'd have to disagree with that Canadian peg to the dollar. Canada currently holds the record for sovereign country most dependent on another, with a huge section of their GDP crossing the border into the US at some point. The reason is simple: Most Canadians live within 100 miles of the border and are indistinguishable from Americans, but don't tell them that.
    1
  2311. @JonMartinYXD  that assumes the economies aren't coupled. But... Canada is so dependent on the US that when the US announced import massive tarrif hikes, Canada announced a recession. And since most or all Canadian investors are buying US stocks, it literally doesn't matter what the Canadian central bank does. Also the value of Canadian dollars is allowed to float but it's still backed by US t-bills. The US and Canadian economies, language, ideologies, and legal system are the same.

Other billionaires fund churches, donate to science, or invest in unprofitable ventures because of their public utility. One Israeli rich dude was also a skilled pilot and bought a major stake in a space contractor so he could appoint himself as the astronaut, spending a time on the space station doing science experiments.

  2457. @Art-is-craft  Here's an easy way to figure: Rural versus urban. In urban areas cost of living is high as are wages, same goes for small decentralized cities versus big packed cities.

    1
  2529.  @MrMakabar  you're thinking in microeconomics. In macro the effect would be that no one will spend or invest the money if they know it will gain in value. Treasure hoards and sluggish business will proliferate. Measured inflation is good for a growing economy. Measured deflation is good for a shrinking economy. Likewise with debt and savings.
    1
  2530.  @MrMakabar  you say that as if we don't target a 2% inflation rate. What you're asking is for these guys to lose money just so they have an incentive to act against the national interest and lower inflation. Indeed, your motive for doing so is your own pocketbook, so understand how incredibly selfish you sound right now? Also, it's their money, they do what they want with it.

Second off, the Russians have economy akin to rural first world where wages are low and cost of living is lower. Like one Yakute village where they have to harvest firewood and hunt for food but trade the pelts and fish for modern goods like computers and cars.
    1
  2547. @badluck5647  first off, what did I just say about firewood? Second off, Russia is arctic and semi arctic (during Christmas time the night never really comes to St Petersburg). Plumbing is much more difficult and expensive under these conditions and in remote areas many people do things the old fashioned way. Likewise, Russian regional airlines are the only place where passengers have ever helped push their plane out of the snow. The reason is these airlines are glorified bush pilots serving small cities where the roads are impassable during certain times of the year. The Kazakhs are still even semi-nomadic, crossing borders on large buses routinely for seasonal labor.

  2690.  @Thesilverrat  No, I was referring to a variety of malfeasances over many decades at varying levels of organizations rather than an imaginary conspiracy. First that comes to mind was when one bank's investment officers would fail to inform their customers about mutual funds with small commissions/fees, in another case several banks were censured for their arbitrary fees for prime brokerage accounts, and in another case a bank's management would systematically fire the bankers brought in the fewest new customers, so many bankers would create dummy accounts to boost their numbers (inadvertently causing the bank's stock value to inflate). I know a former banker who went to prison... She simply stole money from the till. But the only real crime in 2008 was, to quote Michael Burry poorly, "no one wants to take responsibility for their mistakes."

But in green energy's case, we already have a situation where the average price they sell power for is zero because often they have to pay to stay connected to the grid. Combine that with longevity issues in brand new tech and things are going to break and be left to rot because they aren't worth the cost to overhaul

  2784. In theory, but that's never happened in practice despite hundreds of punitive investigations and tens of thousands of reporters all looking for dirty politicians (literally). Also that's insanely villainous when more mundane and easy schemes could be used. For instance, a politician may attempt to to destroy an allegedly corrupt or dirty oil firm while having an undisclosed short position on it. Or they may repeat internet rumors about Moderna as fact also while shorting it. I don't know any case of this actually happening, there's a finite number of politicians and like all other people most of them mean well most of the time.

  2795. @JackRMason  there is no big picture. There is no gatekeeping. In small communities politicians are unpaid but it takes a lot of work, in big communities it cost more money to run for office than you could ever get paid even if you were corrupt. It's like Hollywood, where the stars at the top get all the fame, but for every star there are thousands more forgotten.

  2797.  @JackRMason  I'm getting a doctorate in terrorists. The men I study usually are corrupt politicians. Delusions that whole classes of persons are working together is called fraud. Think of it this way: America spends like a half billion on elections every four years, most of which is a total loss on investment, and few will vote for someone whose name they do not recognize. It's become a ponzi scheme.

  2850. When everything was going up, the incentive is to own everything.
    1
  2851. It depends. How it's organized is an editor sorts through pay-to-play submissions and sends what he likes to academics. These unpaid academics will review the paper for the clout and a back and forth of emails comes forth until something is published. Of course, anyone can publish an "academic journal" and some of them are scams, printing everything received for a fee. Others are highly prestigious, namely all the science magazines you have ever heard of, and so only a fraction of submissions are even considered so academics turn to attaching fictitious prestigious names just to get the editor's attention. Most are in the middle where they "low-impact journals" a tiny audience and an oddly specific topic and maybe a few professors actually spare the time to review the submission, but this introduces another perverse incentive where many only read the abstract and reject/accept it based on whether it sounds good just to get on the list of reviewers. There is no man behind the curtain, no professional organization that knows what's what, just a lot of nerds doing crazy stuff with lab equipment and data.

  2863.  @Andrew_Sherman  because you don't understand how option delta works. The dealers that sell said options have computers that automatically buy/short a stock based on what options they traded. I.E. if the sold more calls than puts, they buy, if they sell more puts than calls, they buy. In other words, buying puts has the exact same effect on stock price as shorting. And you can even use option spreads to get a return identical to a short. Also, shorting simply is not predatory, as it helps price discovery (making the stock price reflect the company's true value). What is predatory is all the jerkos spreading baseless criminal complaints about people shorting stocks they hold. Those guys deserve to lose money.
