at least in the USA

2019-11-02 20:02:00 UTC

I believe the financial institution as a whole will, some will die due to incompetence, and others will take their place. @Asdrubal

2019-11-02 20:02:06 UTC

*DB has 49 trillion dollars or 43.5 trillion euros in unpaid derivatives*

2019-11-02 20:02:26 UTC

*the US has over 200 trillion dollars in unfunded liabilities*

2019-11-02 20:04:07 UTC

It wouldn't matter

2019-11-02 20:04:27 UTC

The Fed can control money supply in the USA which is all that matters

2019-11-02 20:04:37 UTC

There cannot feasibly be a total financial meltdown in the USA

2019-11-02 20:05:38 UTC

If we really wanted to we could reject any owed debts as a nation and the world would just have to eat it.

2019-11-02 20:05:56 UTC

Defaults

2019-11-02 20:06:05 UTC

But realistically weโ€™ll just have an unlimited debt ceiling.

2019-11-02 20:06:18 UTC

Itโ€™s the most diplomatic thing to do.

2019-11-02 20:06:22 UTC

And since we have a fiduciary monetary system we'd be fine

2019-11-02 20:06:33 UTC

FDIC would insure deposits for most Americans

2019-11-02 20:07:45 UTC

I mean, a little inflation might occur if they pay out, but not any major issues if we handle it correctly. @Orson Krennic

2019-11-02 20:08:40 UTC

The Fed would curb inflation quickly in this scenario

2019-11-02 20:08:54 UTC

If the global market just like died

2019-11-02 20:09:03 UTC

And our major financial institutions filed chapter 11

2019-11-02 20:09:07 UTC

They'd be bailed out

2019-11-02 20:09:17 UTC

Discount rate would go down to 0

2019-11-02 20:09:35 UTC

It would be 2008 but take longer to get out of

2019-11-02 20:09:40 UTC

But the system would survive

2019-11-02 20:10:03 UTC

The only thing that can kill the system is a firesale

2019-11-02 20:12:25 UTC

@Orson Krennic And of course thatโ€™s what bailouts are made to prevent.

2019-11-02 20:12:40 UTC

Right

2019-11-02 20:12:53 UTC

You cannot kill the US finance system

2019-11-02 20:13:19 UTC

Because

2019-11-02 20:13:22 UTC

You can't kill America

2019-11-02 20:13:25 UTC

Rather, you could, but itโ€™s entirely unrealistic.

2019-11-02 20:13:39 UTC

Right, the only thing that could do it is a firesale attack

2019-11-02 20:13:41 UTC

Die hard style

2019-11-02 20:14:24 UTC

And that would only be a real issue if everyone did it or if a large amount of an industry was monopolized. @Orson Krennic

2019-11-02 20:15:10 UTC

And even then the financial leaders of the companies would know better when their profits are insured by the federal government.

2019-11-02 20:16:47 UTC

Monopolies aren't even that big of a problem most times

2019-11-02 20:16:58 UTC

Natural monopolies are perfectly fine

2019-11-02 20:17:06 UTC

But most monopolies are created by the government

2019-11-02 20:22:40 UTC

@Orson Krennic The kind that exist because of government interaction or the kind that were originally started by the government?

2019-11-02 20:23:21 UTC

Natural monopolies exist because of high operation or start causes in an industry

2019-11-02 20:23:47 UTC

But large conglomerations are made rich because they get money and contracts from the government

2019-11-02 20:36:26 UTC

can we just take voting rights away from women? that will solve 90% of issues

2019-11-02 21:02:33 UTC

so true

2019-11-02 21:04:58 UTC

@CUNT How?

2019-11-02 21:05:33 UTC

Dude also wants to take voting rights away from everyone who doesnโ€™t own property

2019-11-02 21:05:35 UTC

So yea

2019-11-02 21:05:56 UTC

@Orson Krennic Monopolies can stifle free markets. Itโ€™s like a massive oak tree preventing anything from growing under it. Sometimes the government needs to cut it down and let the rest of the market grow.

2019-11-02 21:06:44 UTC

Regardless if it grew on its own or if the government planted it.

2019-11-02 21:06:58 UTC

Natural monopolies operate differently

2019-11-02 21:07:19 UTC

It's like a local cable company

2019-11-02 21:07:22 UTC

Not to mention if it falls by itself very bad things can happen like the market collapsing and prices skyrocketing because supply canโ€™t meet demand.

2019-11-02 21:07:24 UTC

That's a natural monopoly

2019-11-02 21:07:56 UTC

Because the operating costs of operating another cable company are too high

2019-11-02 21:08:33 UTC

@Orson Krennic Local cable companies arenโ€™t good. It stifles competition which takes away much of the incentive to provide good deals and better technology.

2019-11-02 21:08:47 UTC

Natural monoplies aren't necessarily bad

2019-11-02 21:08:56 UTC

They provide services at a low cost to consumers

2019-11-02 21:09:14 UTC

Whatโ€™s keeping them from raising the cost?

2019-11-02 21:10:09 UTC

It would be competition, but they donโ€™t have any because the startup costs arenโ€™t worth the profit. @Orson Krennic

2019-11-02 21:12:31 UTC

The only alternative I see is regulation, local or otherwise.

2019-11-02 21:33:33 UTC

@DrRisen if they did raise costs then it would be economically profitable for a new company to start up

2019-11-02 21:33:50 UTC

But if they offer good service and keep their prices stable then there's no profitability

2019-11-02 21:39:58 UTC

@Orson Krennic If a new company starts up its economically feasible for the already established company to temporarily lower their prices far enough that the startup, which will have a smaller customer base and ergo need a higher price line to stay in business, will be forced to sell or go bankrupt, then the monopoly can raise its prices right back up.

2019-11-02 21:40:25 UTC

Consumer confidence

2019-11-02 21:40:32 UTC

You're ignoring the opinions of the consumers

2019-11-02 21:40:36 UTC

Sure they can do that

2019-11-02 21:40:46 UTC

Monopolies are ecvil

2019-11-02 21:40:48 UTC

But at that point public opinion would be negative towards the company

2019-11-02 21:41:07 UTC

And what will that do, make them stop needing phones?

2019-11-02 21:41:23 UTC

No, they'll be less apt to stay with the company overcharging

2019-11-02 21:41:29 UTC

Or they'll find a substitute

2019-11-02 21:41:35 UTC

Which consumers are very good at doing

2019-11-02 21:41:44 UTC

monopolies will attempt to entrench themselves by using temporary charging reductions

2019-11-02 21:41:52 UTC

They donโ€™t have an alternative option when thereโ€™s no other companies around.

2019-11-02 21:44:25 UTC

In this scenario the likely outcome would be that another cable service would expand into the area to meet the demand of the consumers

2019-11-02 21:45:22 UTC

But with startup costs and a smaller initial customer base for the opposing company the monopolized company can simply discount their prices to a point at which the other company cannot keep their doors open in the area. @Orson Krennic

2019-11-02 21:45:52 UTC

But then operating costs for the first company would be greater because they're not bringing in enough revenue to pay for them

2019-11-02 21:46:21 UTC

@Orson Krennic Clarified. Meant to refer to the incoming company for startup and operations cost.

2019-11-02 21:47:11 UTC

If they keep going through a cyclical price system, the consumers would have no incentive to stay with them, so when another company did come into the area the consumers would switch

2019-11-02 21:47:20 UTC

@DrRisen that's short term

2019-11-02 21:47:29 UTC

Long term, it would be a good investment for the incoming company

2019-11-02 21:47:39 UTC

Especially if they're already established

2019-11-02 21:48:25 UTC

@Orson Krennic Switching takes time, especially if the initial company had an exclusivity clause in place.

2019-11-02 21:48:45 UTC

Time that the startup doesnโ€™t have.

2019-11-02 21:48:50 UTC

Companies change prices all the time without losing public support

2019-11-02 21:49:02 UTC

Itโ€™s a stamina game, and the home field team will always have more of it.

2019-11-02 21:49:15 UTC

Again, it's a long term good investment

2019-11-02 21:49:36 UTC

Short term, the costs are expensive

2019-11-02 21:49:41 UTC

Long term, it's a good investment

2019-11-02 21:49:53 UTC

Especially because of the demand for cheaper prices

2019-11-02 21:50:00 UTC

If youโ€™re a startup, you canโ€™t afford long term because you have bills and loans to pay *now*.

2019-11-02 21:50:10 UTC

That's not what I've been saying

2019-11-02 21:50:35 UTC

I explicitly said what would be probable is for an existing company to move into the area and expand their business

2019-11-02 21:51:09 UTC

Which doesnโ€™t solve the problem of stifling new growth.

2019-11-02 21:51:30 UTC

Itโ€™s just another big tree taking up even more of the forest.

2019-11-02 21:52:00 UTC

If the other company offers lower prices then it would solve the problem you detailed

2019-11-02 21:52:05 UTC

And eventually these trees merge or go bankrupt making it even more centralized

2019-11-02 21:52:13 UTC

But often times, companies don't do this

2019-11-02 21:52:22 UTC

So it's not a realistic scenario

2019-11-02 21:54:49 UTC

@Orson Krennic And that breaches the problems of corporate conspiracy, in the sense of conspiracy meaning conspiring and cooperating together.

2019-11-02 21:55:21 UTC

I canโ€™t think of the proper word for it in financial terminology, though there probably is one.

2019-11-02 21:56:10 UTC

@Orson Krennic Collusion, thatโ€™s the word.

@everyone Question Of The Day:

You're the infamous epic hacker 4chan and you've just stolen all of the world's nukes; problem is which country do you nuke first?

2019-11-03 17:49:38 UTC

The United States

2019-11-03 17:49:42 UTC

Denmark

2019-11-03 17:49:48 UTC

The US

Israel

2019-11-03 17:50:21 UTC
2019-11-03 17:50:29 UTC

i'd nuke israel first

2019-11-03 17:50:31 UTC

then the world

2019-11-03 17:50:35 UTC

setting everything back

2019-11-03 17:50:45 UTC

just for the day of the rope

2019-11-03 17:50:53 UTC

The United States is the center of industrial society

2019-11-03 17:50:59 UTC

Everything will fall with it

2019-11-03 17:51:21 UTC

I wouldnt nuke israel because of palestine

2019-11-03 17:51:50 UTC

Tell Aviv is really the only place I'd nuke in Israel

2019-11-03 17:51:58 UTC

I dont want to ruin Jerusalem

Saudi Arabia

2019-11-03 17:54:41 UTC

USA

2019-11-03 17:56:26 UTC

I would unload the nukes in Canada

2019-11-03 17:56:31 UTC

They are up to something

2019-11-03 17:56:37 UTC

They are acting too nice

2019-11-03 17:56:55 UTC

Also Israel and Palestine

2019-11-03 17:57:03 UTC

Bc of the Zero State solution

2019-11-03 17:57:35 UTC

My own country

2019-11-03 17:58:18 UTC

Also you could โ€œhackโ€ all of the nukes, but not all nukes are ready to be delivered

2019-11-03 17:58:45 UTC

Such as half of Chinaโ€™s nukes are deliverable only by plane, so it wouldnโ€™t matter if you โ€œhackedโ€ those

2019-11-03 17:59:34 UTC

The only ones you would need would be the ones ready to launch in missile silos, even then several countries have ABMs and can easily knock down the ones you fire

2019-11-03 18:00:07 UTC

So you would need to hack into the missiles instead of the actual nukes in order to effectively strike some places

2019-11-03 18:06:15 UTC

sanfrancisco, Portland Oregon, NYC, Tel Aviv, a couple in the middle east, China, and finally Mexico.

2019-11-03 18:07:40 UTC

Chicago and Detroit as well

2019-11-03 18:18:47 UTC

Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, and NYC arent bad places tbh

@everyone Question Of The Day:

What do you think will happen to groups like EU, UN, NATO, BRICS in the future? Will they grow bigger? Fracture? Why?

2019-11-04 18:56:39 UTC

Fracture

2019-11-04 18:56:56 UTC

They will fail

2019-11-04 18:57:01 UTC

Why?

2019-11-04 18:57:05 UTC

2019-11-04 18:57:13 UTC

they have no support

2019-11-04 18:57:16 UTC

Why would they leave?

2019-11-04 19:03:52 UTC

To me itโ€™s like 50/50 depends really on whoโ€™s gonna be the next big player in the latter half of this centuries gonna be.

If itโ€™s China I could very well see regional groups like the EU gaining in power to ward off such superpowers but if thereโ€™s no clear cut โ€œwinnerโ€ I think itโ€™s prolly anyoneโ€™s game

2019-11-04 20:23:02 UTC

EU is toast

2019-11-04 20:23:33 UTC

Their entire economic partnership relies on Deutsche Bank imperialism and Deutsche bank is about to fail

2019-11-04 20:31:12 UTC

Not really tho, it has more to do with germany being an economic powerhouse in general. Their power wonโ€™t just wane with one of their banks falling

2019-11-04 20:32:24 UTC

Deutsche bank controls a lot of Europe's financial infrastructure

2019-11-04 20:32:29 UTC

They virtually own Greece

2019-11-04 20:35:59 UTC

Not saying that they wonโ€™t lose some of their power over Europe without deutsche Bank, just donโ€™t see how them collapsing would straight up cause the EU to implode

Doesnโ€™t matter to the EU tho, even without Eastern European countries they can just run with the central core (France, germany and some others)
