Five minutes of hate news

Looking at it, it's basically, roughly, how it would work in a free market. The bank failed. The insurer (The FDIC), thus gets control of the entire bank in order to pay off the depositors. To do this, it sees if it can sell the bank off and save money, which it could.

The problem isn't the sell off, it's the failure in the first place.

1st Republic failed because they weren't prepared for interest rate hikes. Banks make their money by borrowing short, lending long, and pocketing the difference. They goofed that up.

(i.e. They learned nothing from the S&L Crisis of the 80s and 90s. Over a span of 10yrs one-third of those failed.)

When interest rates rise the value of the long term debt you hold takes a hit. Fr'ex: a $1,000 30-year 5% bond issued yesterday is now worth $861.62 if the 30yr rate jumps to 6% overnight. That's before you factor in the now more-expensive short-term money the bank borrowed (i.e.: the deposits) to buy that bond.

Ouch.

There's already a monopoly. Its called the federal reserve.

fun fact
the federal reserve, despite its name, is actually privately held by the richest and most privilaged oligarchs. rather than being a government entity.
they are backed by the govt, but profits go into private pockets

I wonder if they will ever meet their match and someone's gonna make them pay.

Not really. It's a public/private thing. Member banks (all of them, IIRC EDIT: all national banks, and the state banks that want to participate) are the ones that hold shares in it. On top of that, most of the profit the bank makes is tossed back to the Federal government (usually something like 95%ish). I hate them, but I hate them for things they do, not things they don't do.

These women are being shredded by foreign ladies online, especially by the Filipinas, Koreans, and Japanese.

Also, the tattooed boar saying men "can't handle" women? Uh, no -- we just don't want argumentative, masculine cum dumpsters making everything a fucking power play or struggle.

I think its more no one wants to be married to a spoiled brats.

Daddy's little princess often grows up to be an adult nightmare.

Men want debt free virgins without tattoos.

 

[Typhonis]

Men also want someone who will help and support them as a partner and not get kniffed in the back.

Eh, it's not so much virgins (that "no hymen, no diamond" thing is bullshit) than it is we don't want women who've slept with dozens of blokes.

I mean, realistically we don't care if she's had a few serious relationships or even hookups -- the key word being few. That's pretty much normal these days.

But despite what a lot of women like to say, a woman's sexual past does matter. And, if it doesn't, why do they always try to hide that they were bang-banged in three ways every weekend during their college/high-school days from the bloke they're seriously interested in?

Because they know he'd react with disgust and dump her ass back to the streets.

This too.

Western women, on the whole, have become masculinized. Unless you swing that way (or both ways), a man doesn't want to date another man. Simple.

To be fair, a virgin guarantees that better than anything else will.

Yeah, but realistically a woman being a virgin outside of her teen years (edit: or even in her teen years, given they sadly seem to be in such a rush to jump on the bandwagon in more ways than one) in this day and age? Even with a religious upbringing? There's a better chance of Hillary peeling off her human face in public to expose the lizardwoman underneath.

that's fine. I hope they find their 6' man with a 6 figure income who doesn't care about having kids and lets her have 7 cats. My mom had a friend that found a guy almost like that. she had to settle for a 5' 10" though.

Don't forget the 6" cock, too.

Debt free yes
I love tattoos if done right
No one outside of teen years is a Virgin.

Tattoos don't add anything. If the woman was beautiful before the tattoo she can absolutely ruin the looks with a shit tattoo. a woman is not gonna become more beautiful because of one either. It is fine if a woman wants to be a hoe and sleep around. but they should understand that means many men won't want a relationship with them. just that they give easy access.

even the hoes get married.

But they need to keep their expectations realistic. If your a former E girl your not getting a fucking doctor as a husband but you could get a welder who is a good man.

If that means I never find a girl, I am satisfied that my meager standards means I am an exceptional person.
