[02:13]	IsambardPrince	Probably the cards are so horrific that it almost doesn't matter how many go bad because other people are bleeding like a stuck pig.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	Backing for these cards comes from JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, RBS, Barclay's, and some others.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	That's interesting.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	Chase won't deal with shitty credit, but it's willing to invest in it through Capital One branded cards.
[02:16]	IsambardPrince	Taking management of the accounts in-house may not be something they're optimized for, or maybe they want to maintain their reputation as a bank that deals with better clients. It would be harder to pitch themselves as a prime and super-prime bank if they were issuing garbage like Capital One Platinum cards.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	Capital One is an odd bank in that it deals with super-prime accounts, prime, and subprime with bottom-feeder products.
[02:17]	IsambardPrince	Most banks just carve out a segment they're geared to deal with.

[21:21]	IsambardPrince	> The PRC (Communist China) has never actually governed the island, but they claim it anyway. They've got a huge country and well over a billion people to torment with Communism and Social Credit Scores and telling them what to do and they'd better do it, and no agency over their lives, and they're foaming at the mouth threatening to start a war over this Communist Party vanity project that will kill many on both sides and make 
[21:21]	IsambardPrince	millions more suffer, because they can't also take the freedom away from a bit over 20 million people on an island.
[21:21]	IsambardPrince	> It's like "Show me on the doll where the people of Taiwan hurt you."
[21:21]	IsambardPrince	> You get into situations like these in countries that are overpopulated and struggling with economies that sputter. It makes war the easy choice because there's lots of unemployable men and the government starts viewing life cheaply.

[21:23]	MinceR	it's not biden's fault you live in a kingdom
[21:23]	IsambardPrince	The US did win the Iraq War, by various measures.
[21:23]	IsambardPrince	Corporations got rich from government spending.
[21:24]	IsambardPrince	Iraq is not selling oil in Euros or Rubles or Yuan or anything like that.
[21:24]	IsambardPrince	The US privatized the economy while it was under occupation government and immunized its own corporations from anything they did there, and signed long term contracts with US corporations.
[21:25]	IsambardPrince	And the central government that we installed got relatively modern (although export version) US weapons so that they can control their population and stop an uprising.
[21:25]	IsambardPrince	Although not enough to threaten us if we decided to come back.
[21:26]	IsambardPrince	The people of Iraq are doing worse under this new government than they did under Saddam. Nobody cares. Certainly not "their government" or the US one.
[21:26]	IsambardPrince	Saddam, from a human rights perspective, was the best you could ever hope for in an Arab country.
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	A brutal secular dictator that would stamp out Islamists by moving in and killing them all if they became a threat to his regime.
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	Arabs aren't fit to govern any other way.
[21:27]	IsambardPrince	Every time you give them a chance to show otherwise, well....
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	The US keeps letting this trash into our country under the OG DEI program.
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	The "Diversity Visa Lottery".
[21:28]	IsambardPrince	Where we are _guaranteed_ to get 50,000-60,000 people from the worst countries in the world at random, every year.
[21:29]	IsambardPrince	People who will at best, live off welfare forever, and at worst be some sort of criminal or terrorist.
[21:29]	IsambardPrince	In a way, Trump was right. He was not ALWAYS wrong, few people are, but he was right in this isolated statement.
[21:29]	IsambardPrince	The Diversity Visa Lottery should be repealed.
[21:30]	IsambardPrince	It should be replaced by a more lenient system for International Students, Marriage Green Cards, and more slots for highly skilled workers and migrants who "want to do jobs that are not otherwise getting done".
[21:31]	IsambardPrince	Farmers in various states that cracked down on illegal immigrants saw their crops rot in the field.
[21:32]	IsambardPrince	Ten years ago (well before BIDENflation!), in Alabama (one of the cheapest states to live in!), the farmers were offering $15 an hour to go out and pick blueberries, and they had some Americans show up and they said, to the news, that "by noon, almost all of them were gone".
[21:33]	IsambardPrince	It's hard work and it's easier to have entire towns down there living on welfare. Literally, there are entire towns in Alabama where they set their hours based on when the food stamps and the Social Security checks come in.
[21:33]	IsambardPrince	They know the third of the month and then every Wednesday.
[21:33]	IsambardPrince	Social Security staggers payments throughout the month based on when the person was born but it's always a Wednesday. I had to explain this to mom when she retired and wondered why Wednesday.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	I don't think we should just randomly deport people, even if they're not here legally.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	We should take a more holistic view of the person.
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	Did they come here to loot Macy's and rape kids and burn things?
[21:34]	IsambardPrince	Or are they working and minding their business?
[21:35]	IsambardPrince	I mean, if it's working and minding their business, just leave them the hell alone I say.
[21:35]	IsambardPrince	It's better than half the people we've got already.
[21:37]	IsambardPrince	I would absolutely never report anyone to ICE. Do I look like fucking Immigration? I'm not Immigration. They already pay people to do this and it's like 90% Trump MAGA pieces of shit at ICE. So they want to hurt people indiscriminately.
[21:37]	IsambardPrince	And that's not okay with me.
[21:38]	IsambardPrince	The only way I'd report anyone is if they were just some total piece of shit criminal and I knew where they were at. Other than that, nope.
[21:39]	IsambardPrince	I'm certainly not a Nazi. I'm not a Trump supporter. This is the worst election we've ever had. Maybe we've had something worse if you go back into the 1800s. How the hell should I know? I wasn't alive then.
[21:40]	MinceR	i'm sure it was better in the miocene
[21:41]	IsambardPrince	I would call myself, if anything, a New Deal Democrat, except I'm not also that. They did a lot of fucked up shit. (Japanese Internment Camps and atomic bombs being used in war on a defeated broken people and the gold confiscation and so on and so forth).
[21:41]	IsambardPrince	I'd say strong Libertarian streak on the social issues.
[21:42]		*parsifal has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[21:43]	IsambardPrince	A lot of Libertarian leanings (Guns, what people do in private, immigration), but also we need a New New Deal, and not this Green New Deal nonsense. I'm talking about a jobs program. Something that helps the unemployed and puts food on the table.
[21:43]	IsambardPrince	And to pay for it we need a lot of new taxes, on the rich.
[21:43]	IsambardPrince	If they're not going to hire, they should be taxed so that the government can hire.
[21:44]	IsambardPrince	I broke with my Libertarian leanings (freedom of association) to vote for the Constitutional amendment to get the government out of union drives and keep the state closed shop.
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	Workers basically have no protection from their employers without the law. The law should protect the workers, not the employer. We've had too many years where the state was a force of great evil, where if the workers demanded anything, they'd not only be locked out, but they'd send the police and the Pinkertons out to beat them up and shoot them.
[21:47]	IsambardPrince	What schestowitz[TR2] is talking about here is what I would like to comment on.
[21:47]	IsambardPrince	Somewhere along the way the Democrats stopped being the Worker's Party and started being the Lunatic's Party.
[21:48]	IsambardPrince	So we have a lot of Canadian-style horseshit going on down here too now.
[21:48]	IsambardPrince	As much as they can get away with that's not strictly forbidden.
[21:49]	IsambardPrince	It's easy to see why this happened though. Appealing to nutbags and criminals doesn't really cost the wealthy donors anything, so it's an easy place to go for votes.

And it's not just Taiwan, they're stealing parts of the Philippines and causing disputes with all their neighbors which they certainly have no right to mess with. "

[23:12]	IsambardPrince	I negotiated with the credit card people.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	I told them if they didn't improve this card I was thinking about just cutting it up and not using it again.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	They seemed really against the idea of more rewards, like some people are getting, but even though I don't run a balance with them, they changed my purchase APR.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	It was Prime plus 19 and now it's Prime plus 14.
[23:14]	IsambardPrince	I've never seen a card company agree to change that unless a person was already in deep shit and begging for something.

[23:57]	IsambardPrince	The purchase APR has gotten absolutely ridiculous over the past 20 years on credit cards.
[23:57]	IsambardPrince	It's averaging 21% right now, but that's just an average.
[23:57]	IsambardPrince	In 2013, the average was 14%, and in the 1990s, it was 11%.
[23:58]	IsambardPrince	So in the 90s, the average rate was 11% even though anyone at any income level could file Chapter 7 bankruptcy every 7 years and the banks were eating a lot more charge-offs than they do now.
