    1. You underestimate this at your own peril. WTF are you talking about, this is a perfect storm which you will most likely not survive.
      Americans are so pitifully ignorant, self-centered and stupid.

    2. Banks that blow up over bad lending should be closed down and the people who received bonuses off the bad lending should be black listed from working at banks going forward. That means ceo down to individual loan officers banned from the industry.

    3. There seems to be skepticism amongst investors regarding the Federal Reserve’s plan to continue increasing interest rates until inflation is stabilized. As for myself, I find myself at a crossroads, uncertain whether to liquidate my $150,000 stock portfolio. I’m seeking advice on the best strategy to capitalize on this current market.

    5. congrats on the milestone! I’m struggling to see even a fraction of that growth. Feels like I’m missing a key element. Who’s giving you these golden tips?

    1. Maybe it just a quick pit stop, or maybe you need to phone the fed for a magic helicopter drop of gas.
      And if there is fuel shortage’s, then you need to drill baby drill.

    3. The we, as in me and you don’t control a damn thing. We are minions, we are slaves, our masters are in Washington dc. They do what they want to do they don’t do what you or me want them to do. They will keep doing that until we overthrow this crooked Washington DC government both Democrats and republicans, they’re all crooked. Because this stuff’s been going on for decades. And both sides have been in charge at one time or another over them decades.

    4. Too late. Tte fed will bail out all of these bad entities. Congressionally approved after 2008. No more voting on bailouts in Congress.

    3. And Real Science. Search the Origin of Mass and the Nature of Gravity, Nassim Haramein and amazing team at International Space Federation – real science behind what is shaKing the world, in my humble opinion. Love to all, prepare to be amazed at what your human species can share to change the world for the benefit if humanity at large. Problem is they do not want to play the private profit and control public debt and sweat without equity and you cannot know until they control you 😮 imo😢

    5. Trick or treat ? Thanks George for another great down-to-earth explanation of what the heck is going on with this car stopping.

  10. It’s already broke we just don’t realize it yet. In 2003 I spent a lot of time with a girl from Kazakhstan. Her formative years were from the collapse of the Soviet union. She spent hours recalling the collapse and the aftermath and lessons learned. Her grandfather was a general in the kgb. She insisted that it was a matter of when not if the US would collapse as well. She wanted me to see it coming. She said it was a combination of al Capones Chicago and the wild West. She said if you walked into a barber shop and told them the USSR would collapse the day before it did, they would laugh you out of the shop and call you crazy. So will it all fall apart on Monday morning, or is it just another lost decade?

    1. Yes, I think in a century or two the long term view of historians will be that BOTH sides lost the Cold War – the US just had more sophisticated financial engineering and managed to keep the plates spinning for another couple of decades – but in reality the US economy has been hollowed out, in decline and increasingly fragile for decades. When (not if) the next crisis hits it’ll be carnage.

    4. @ciaranirvine We had a 90% tax bracket in the 1950s. Our history proves this is the way that works. America boomed out of WWII by capping individual wealth with tax policies. That bracket was on income of 400k or more for couples. That is 5 million in today’s dollars. Think about how society would be different if CEOs and business owners could not make more than 5 million dollars a year and had to stay married or their income drops to 2.5 million a year. Every problem with society goes away. Workers aren’t underpaid because the CEO doesn’t make extra money by under paying. The incentive structure flips. The CEO or owner now needs the business to survive long term. Their personal richness is stable if the business is stable.

      That means no cutting wages, no understaffing, no outsourcing, no endless mergers, no quality cutting, no safety cutting, a bigger reduction in pollution, no technology stagnation, etc. There is no incentive for a CEO or business owner to do any of these things because they need the business to be stable, not debt financed hype or destroy by ruining quality with all those bad tactics combined. As an example, they won’t try to merge with other companies because that would turn two 5 million dollar a year jobs into one. Neither CEO can get bonuses above the tax based income cap.
      The current culture is to ruin the business with cuts that inflate the stock price by raising operating margin in the worst ways because they are quick.

      The only reason they do it is because CEOs pay themselves boat loads of free stock and make themselves chairman of the board. It is privatization of public companies. They are there to cut and squeeze to increase their own wealth. Collapse does not bother them because they all have golden parachutes and they can take tax free loans against the free stock they pay themselves so they basically are able to sell off as much stock as they want to the bank without having to disclose any of it as a sale while retaining the ownership rights needed to be on the board. Ownership rights that were given to them for free. Not a single dollar of theirs was invested in the company. There control allows them to milk the company for personal wealth even if it ruins the company as if they are running a sole proprietorship.

      This practice is so out in the open and perverse, you will see boards giving CEOs more stock to compensate them for the stock price falling. That only makes sense if they are shoring up collateral on loans to keep the CEO from losing money. This is insane because it gives them even more free stock as a reward for collapsing the company with cuts that only benefited the ceo, board members, and their friends.

    5. ⁠@mindfulmaximalism The chaos was the average USSR person’s hard earned money disappeared over night from their USSR bank accounts when the collapse happened.

    1. Same here. What stood out to me was how clearly he broke down the repo market stuff that whole “car stopping” analogy finally made it click. It’s honestly kind of unsettling to realize how fragile the system is once you see the mechanics behind it

      Reply

    2. Yeah, I felt that too. I’ve worked in finance for years and it still amazes me how much of the system depends on confidence and perception. The part about counterparty risk hit home that’s exactly how credit freezes start. Once lenders hesitate, everything tightens up fast.

    3. That’s what pushed me to finally talk to someone about my own investments earlier this year. I worked with an advisor named Kate Marie Lynott who helped me understand how to build a portfolio that isn’t so exposed to credit and liquidity shocks. It’s less about predicting crashes and more about having clarity on what you can actually control. Way less stress since then

    4. That’s smart. I keep hearing people mention her is she the one who does financial planning for people with small business income too? I think I stumbled on her page after Googling her name.

      Reply

    5. Yeah, that’s her. She’s pretty grounded explains things in plain English, which is rare in that space. It made all this repo-market talk feel a lot less abstract once I knew how it trickles down to personal finance decisions.

  12. The only reason they’re bailing out the banks is because it’s cheaper to bail them out then have the FDIC pay out all the deposits setting in the banks

    Reply

    2. @Fastapproaching There will be no bail out this time. There are powers that want America broken, and its people poor, sick, uneducated. People in that state are easier to control.

  13. I remember reading articles on the dangers of shadow banking market 5 years ago. It was just a matter of time before it imploded.

  15. Sometimes “garbage corporation” like First Brands Group has a B+ credit rating then melts down to FFF overnight. Now that’s a bait and switch if I’ve ever seen one.

  16. Almost all government, corporate, media, tech, medical, and financial systems are being run by corrupt leaders who have amassed too much unchecked power.
    We are facing a Greater Depression that appears to be on the visible horizon. People have been so divided that we’ve become too weak to fight these thieves, liars, and murd3r3rs.

    We must work locally to build relationships in our neighborhoods and communities. We are going to need each other and we have to set aside whatever differences we perceive in each other and create resources to help each other when the shtf.

  17. Just to speak plainly, it’s not ‘shenanagans’, it’s fraud. We need criminal convictions here. Overall, well laid out and explained!

  18. I was thoroughly outraged and disgusted when none of the big banks that played a key role in the great financial crisis, were ever held to account. The underlying corruption and rot was never adequately addressed. The focus became, “how to reinflate the bubble?” So at least banking regulation was improved, though hardly back to Glass-Steagall. And of course, once things started to get moving again, one political party pressed to loosen or repeal those regulations, and somehow we’re heading back toward the same abyss. The biggest single economic dislocation today? The unbelievable, and unprecedented concentration of wealth among a select few. Highly dangerous, and someday, some way, it WILL revert to mean. Just ask Marie Antoinette!
