JimmyCarterBy June 2006, the project has hit the magic "100 cases finished" mark, at an exciting equal "100% legal success" mark. Every GPL infringement that we started to enforce was resolved in a legal success, either in-court or out of court.Aug 18 01:10

JimmyCarterthe FDIC is insuring 10 tril in deposits with 50 bil in assets and a law saying it can borrow 500 bil from treasuryAug 18 10:55
JimmyCarterso if the big banks fails the big question is what happens to peoples depositsAug 18 10:56
JimmyCarteri think under bankruptcy law citizen's deposits should be treated equally to other creditors such as derivative contracts with other banksAug 18 10:56
JimmyCarterso how much money everyone loses will somewhat come down to bankruptcy proceedingsAug 18 10:57
JimmyCarterhow much of the banks assets go to main st versus wall st and whether FDIC can make up differenceAug 18 10:58

DaemonFCJimmyCarter, The recent regulations mean that all you're actually guaranteed is to be a forced investor in the bank that is failing.Aug 18 11:32
DaemonFCYou could end up holding bank shares that are worth pennies on the dollar.Aug 18 11:32
DaemonFCIt's better to not leave any more money in the bank than you absolutely have to.Aug 18 11:33
DaemonFCJimmyCarter, The funny part is that while private investors lost a lot of money in bank operations during the crash, the shares that the government bought in the bailout are now mostly worth more than it paid for them.Aug 18 11:34
DaemonFCAlso, there are the dividends that get paid out.Aug 18 11:34
DaemonFCThe GMAC mess actually made the government a $1.5 billion profit in share value and about $4.5 billion in dividends on those shares that were paid to the Treasury.Aug 18 11:35
DaemonFCOf course, on the scale of the US federal government, that's not a lot of money.Aug 18 11:35
DaemonFCThey spend that much in a matter of a couple of minutes. :)Aug 18 11:35
DaemonFCThe federal government is used to getting away with spending a lot more than it takes in because favorable conditions and the ability to endlessly inflate money has permitted it so far.Aug 18 11:36
*nj3ma has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)Aug 18 11:37
DaemonFCThere's no guarantee that interest rates will stay low, and there's no guarantee that purchasers of government debt will always see it as the best option for investment.Aug 18 11:38
*nj3ma (~nj3ma@105.230.138.119) has joined #techrightsAug 18 11:38
DaemonFCIf it becomes so out of control that it becomes a bad investment that loses a lot of its value, then people could simply stop buying it up, making tax increases mandatory.Aug 18 11:38
DaemonFCPeople have an aversion to direct taxation, but stealing the value of money they already possess seems to be less noticeable.Aug 18 11:39
DaemonFCPeople bitch because "those greedy companies" are raising their prices, but they don't understand that this is part of what funds the banking system and the government.Aug 18 11:39
DaemonFCThe idea that inflation is needed to compel people to spend is just pure bullshit.Aug 18 11:41
DaemonFCPeople are going to spend money no matter what happens, as long as they have money, wants, and needs.Aug 18 11:41

JimmyCarterthe bailout is misnomer because it was more like bridge loansAug 18 12:02
JimmyCarterpart of QE is the real bailout, evidence by the trillions in mortgage backed securities now on the fed's balance sheetAug 18 12:03
JimmyCarterinflation only affects savings in currency, if you live paycheck to paycheck doesnt matter.  but when it comes to savings i think theres something to argument that it encourages capital to be productiveAug 18 12:05
DaemonFCQE isn't making the toxic debt disappear, it's just moving it somewhere else.Aug 18 12:07
DaemonFCThe Fed's balance sheet is just a temporary storage device.Aug 18 12:07
DaemonFCEventually, they'll repackage all of it and try to find more people who are stupid enough to buy it.Aug 18 12:08
DaemonFCOf course they will.Aug 18 12:08
DaemonFCIf human nature was changing, then there's be no reason for the same scams to work over and over again, even when people were warned or had good reason to be suspicious.Aug 18 12:09
DaemonFCTen years from now, they'll have no problem unloading all of it.Aug 18 12:09
JimmyCarterwell my point is they bought the MBS from banks for way more than market value, ie free checksAug 18 12:09
JimmyCarterthats the actual bailoutAug 18 12:09
DaemonFCWell, the better way to stop it would have been to declare all of the debt void and allow anyone invested in it to lose everything.Aug 18 12:10
DaemonFCThe problem really is that it ended up everywhere.Aug 18 12:11
DaemonFCIn retirement plans and pension funds, among other places.Aug 18 12:11

qu1j0t3old, but still a fucking unforgiveable use of excessive forceAug 18 16:20
iophkThe video is pretty clear cut about that, though it's not necessarily recommendable to watch it.Aug 18 16:21
iophkI am surprised that the epidemic of that behavior has spread even to Canada.Aug 18 16:22
qu1j0t3Canada has a long-standing police problemAug 18 16:49
qu1j0t3not just the Toronto police -- the RCMP is batshit as wellAug 18 16:49
qu1j0t3there is actually  a string of police shootings in TO, this is only the latestAug 18 16:49
qu1j0t3the G20 was in 2010 ... pretty much every police misbehaviour was documented there, it was a miracle nobody was killedAug 18 16:50
qu1j0t3it was a show of force to intimidate and dissuade people from protesting G20 agendasAug 18 16:51
qu1j0t3many assaulted, mistreated in detentionAug 18 16:51
iophkadd to that the problem that the news did not cover the reasons for the protestsAug 18 16:51
qu1j0t3horse charges of sitting protesters ... not the sort of thing one expects to see on TO streetsAug 18 16:51
qu1j0t3right. only one paper in TO kept to the issue, and brought some accountability to the copsAug 18 16:51
qu1j0t3the statements made by the right wing freakshow that runs Canada were absolutely disgustingAug 18 16:52
