Uhh no. I like this guy's honesty but no.

The GOP needs to be encouraging bank runs on the largest banks in the world and encouraging people to cause their collapse in retaliation for ESG.

The financial system has been artificially propped up since the end of ww2 its time for some actual Darwinian free market capitalism dammit.

Stop enabling cronycapitalism.

As someone who has a banker "father" I agree with this statement.

Especially the disguting part.

The whole global financial system needs a hard reboot. When the money lenders think they can engage in social engineering then they need to retire and we need to be free of their insanity.

Be careful what you wish for.

Banks should fear runs. We should foster this fear.

There is litterally no political will for another bank bailout.

They pretty much burned all of the public good will last go around, supporting a bail out just puts you into the crosshairs of populist outrage.

I heard a argument made that it won't help because even if there is a massive run, the way that things are being structured means all the money and accounts just end up on the big 4 banks.

So we need those to collapse as well. Which is a much bigger ask than with the likes of SVB and First Republic.

Chances are if it gets to that point the US government will literally have to chose between making 1929 look like weak and something outrageous. I am talking "seize Gold from private citizens" and "declare all markets will freeze prices" outrageous. And we all know these people will not let go of their power peacefully.

I would not put it past them to try and escalate Ukraine to try and salvage the situation.

I mean that was WW2 for the Americas In a nutshell was it not. My big question is who In the heck on the venture capitalists side to loudly shout "fire!' as far as I am concerned both sides are vultures.

Im pretty sure if they tried to do that, it would hit the fan in a very new and crazy way. They may have to let things go.

They're gonna try and push digital currency after this, the Ameircan people need to focus all their energies on stopping that and doing maximum financial "damage" to these institutions

I was thinking this as well. They're going to push for an (totally coincidental, of course) easily traceable digital dollar.

On a note that we can all laugh at, the West Virginia state legislature has passed a bizarre law making it illegal to have more than 250 beds worth of substance abuse treatment facilities in any county. This was apparently done at the behest of residents of Wood County, who argue that it's unfair that 282 beds worth of treatment exist in their county, enabling residents of other counties to be treated in Wood County instead of closer to their own homes.

Bill to limit substance abuse treatment beds in W.Va, counties completes legislative action

HB 3337 prohibits additional substance abuse treatment beds from being added to any county that already has 250 or more beds.

weird i guess. I could see being worried about being the county everyone sends their drug addicts to. seems like a weird way to address that concern.

The West Virginia state legislature appears to be in the habit of wildly over correcting; they had previously, in 2017 passed a law (House Bill 2459) to encourage the creation of substance abuse treatment facilities by completely exempting them from requiring a certificate of need from the Department of Health and Human Resources Office of Health Facility Licensure & Certification. The newly passed bill reinstates the certificate of need requirement and simultaneously doubles down on it by prohibiting said office from issuing any certificate of need if there are already over 250 beds worth of treatment facilities in a given county.

(Note that this is a flat limitation, not relative to population, and it is also regardless of need, one way or the other.)

yeah i can see it. Mental health in the US needs a major reform. bluntly i would say the asylum system needs to be looked at and have some protections put in place. we have lost the vast majority of our in patient care for the last 3 decade or so and most of the people that would have ended up in that system have ended up either homeless or incarcerated. the old system was definitely abuse but it has not been replaced and that has had a very detrimental effect on society.

It needs a reform in the UK, too.

Despite what the NHS, government, and therapists like to say, there's still a massive stigma against mental health issues -- especially if you're a man in general or a woman going through something like postnatal depression (apparently women try to keep this to themselves because it makes them feel like they're perceived to be 'failures' of a mother to their newborns).

It's worse in the UK because of the whole "stiff upper-lip" thing -- that stereotype has a lot of truth in it, as we're far more reserved than Americans. However, this stoicism is pretty shitty when mental health is at play, as we bottle things up to an unhealthy degree.

Yeah as much as we yankees tease our cousin's across the ocean and joke about our own , neither the US's or the UK's drinking songs are just for show as much as we hate to admit it.

It's not unheard of for someone who looks perfectly healthy and acts perfectly fine to suddenly be found dead by suicide "out of the blue". It's goddamn tragic.

A fictional but very realistic example is one of the doctors in House -- the character acted perfectly fine and normal, and no one suspected a thing being amiss (even Super Doc himself).

On one apparently normal morning, though? His coworkers found his body swinging by the rafters in his own home, after they went there to pick him up for work as per the normal routine.

Depression.
