Financial crisis​@khunopie9159 What's the time Is Powell ready to risk recession this is the question

[@Mrshuster]

It’s amazing really. We have a financial crisis, caused by greedy, reckless financial institutions. Congress passes legislation requiring those institutions to be less greedy and reckless. The institutions then lobby to have those restrictions removed, usually in the name of “remaining competitive”. This leads to another financial crisis. It’s completely predictable, and we have been doing this dance since the Great Depression almost 100 years ago.

[@Peterl4290]

Agree; the rules should be applicable to all banks - big or small. First; very few meaningful laws are passed and then this cycle of doing-undoing seems to support deregulation risking the economy and the faith in banks.

[@sabastinenoah]

I believe using an investing advisor is a terrific idea. In the midst of the 2008 financial crisis, I was literally experiencing horrible dreams before I spoke with an advisor. In conclusion, I was able to increase my initial investment from $320k to almost $2.5 million in 2011 with the aid of my advisor, and I later bought my first investment property.

[@larrypaul-cw9nk]

In 2008 I worked for the law firm that brought down Lehman Brothers. I so wish I had a time machine to see exactly what that meant at the time. The next year, I lost: my savings (I worked my lifetime for that), my tiny home, my job through downsizing, and my boyfriend left. Hundreds of people at my firm lost their jobs. I had a nervous breakdown. I took out my remaining money and put it into a credit union. The life I thought I was going to have in retirement went down the drain. I found out I am stronger than I could ever imagine.

[@AndreaRoberto-wm3th]

In the early 1990s, when I bought my first home in Miami, first mortgages often came with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10%, which was quite common. It's important to consider that we may never return to 3% rates. If sellers are compelled to sell, home prices may need to decrease, leading to lower valuations. I believe many others share this line of thinking.

[@Markscott412]

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

[@Williamjame444]

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalizes. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

[@jackwillison177]

The fact that we get free documentaries on KZbin by FRONTLINE PBS is truly a gift. 👏👏👏 May I also remind you the fact that our Native American population in our motherland, the Continent of America before the European Colonizers arrived, was around 15 millions, while the European population in their motherland, the Continent of Europe was around 25 millions. Today, Native American population is 15 million, while the European population, in the Continents of America + Europe, is a staggering TWO BILLION! A shocking sad truth. 😔 In my humble opinion, it's about time to decolonize the Colonized lands, and return it to rightful owners Native American people. Notorious global cardinal crimes the Christian West has committed, and benefited a great deals, such as Slavery & Colonialism had long been over, why on earth is notorious Colonization still lingering on, may I ask? 😔

The average person has never been so poor. Millions of families are struggling financially as living expenses hit the highest levels in more than four decades. Over 60% of our country lives paycheck to paycheck and about 40% earns poverty wages. Even after working all their lives, more than a quarter of older people have no savings and many believe they will never be able to retire in dignity, while around 55% of elderly people try to survive on an income of less than 25,000 a year.

[@LD-tn6ff]

@@aldin5930 I don't think it's accurate to believe that over 15 years of prior low rates would suddenly and randomly at a moments notice yield out of control inflation. Interest rates would have a gradual impact on inflation, and in fact, they only mentioned these low interest rates as a means of showing that they, along with FED stimulus packages/bailouts ONLY went on to serve the rich, whereas the middle class workers saw between zero and negative improvement. There's a variety of factors determining inflation right now. And ya...housing is an absolute disaster. (I find that generally, the only people who enjoy the fact that housing prices are grossly overinflated, are generally the ones who own a home, and like the thought of seeing their personal assets increase in value.). It still doesn't change the fact that housing is more unattainable for working people than virtually ever before, and that prices have skyrocketed at a rate far beyond the market.

One lady even brought up "dopamine hit" (which neuroscientist Andrew Huberman says doesn't exist, it's just an incorrect phrase). Two-party puppet system, Trump included, especially him, another puppet (with all those bankruptcies, cheating construction workers, kept most of his jobs in China and Mexico against his promise of America having more jobs alongside his campaign gear Made in China, etc.). Almost no one is trying to end the so-called Federal Reserve bank. The Founding Fathers fought that foreign private money institution, kicked them out of America, and when they came back in the 1900s, they made debt notes. Quantitative easing, like I've mentioned recently. That encourages more risky spending, hurts savers, and makes more inflation.

The real problem was too easy to see years ago when they dropped rates through the floor and held their fingers on the jugular for way too long. Where we're at was created and preventable by them. Incremental increases along the way would have been the prudent play. But here we are with the obligatory "sky's falling" fear-based cliffhanger scenario.... 👎👎

These days things are weird. Inflation is making the US dollar less valuable, but it is still growing in value when compared to other currencies, gold, and real estate.

He is STILL not asking the most IMPORTANT questions. Like WHY do we allow THE FED to issue OUR CURRENCY? WHY do we allow the stockholders of THE FED to get RICHER while the hard-working tax payers get POORER? It's the tax payers who pay the interest on those bonds the FED buys from the Treasury. Why pay for government spending with BONDS when we could BYPASS THE FED? We could pay for everything interest-free, with dollars issued directly from THE TREASURY. Federal Reserve notes should be replaced with TREASURY NOTES. That would keep the owners of THE FED from leeching wealth from the people who ACTUALLY GENERATE the wealth. THE WORKING TAXPAYERS. The Treasury should loan these Treasury notes to the private regional banks and make THEM pay interest on those dollars. They should also require them to provide mortgages for STARTER homes at ZERO % interest to first-time home buyers. (As long as they are a good credit risk.) The same for basic cars. They could let the banks charge whatever interest they want for luxury homes, cars and everything else. That would make the economy EXPLODE HIGHER THAN EVER BEFORE. The production of starter homes would explode, and everything associated with home ownership. Furniture, appliances, and everything sold at home supply stores like Home Depot would experience a MASSIVE boom in sales, production, and employment. THAT'S the kind of STIMULUS we need! Not passing out checks to people who never PRODUCED anything!

Federal Reserve notes should be replaced with TREASURY NOTES. That would keep the owners of THE FED from leeching wealth from the people who ACTUALLY GENERATE the wealth. THE WORKING TAXPAYERS. The Treasury should loan these Treasury notes to the private regional banks and make THEM pay interest on those dollars. They should also require them to provide mortgages for STARTER homes at ZERO % interest to first-time home buyers. (As long as they are a good credit risk.) The same for basic cars. They could let the banks charge whatever interest they want for luxury homes, cars and everything else. That would make the economy EXPLODE HIGHER THAN EVER BEFORE.

Disturbing on many levels, but for me what hit home was tech, a field which I have worked in for about 16 years and have just - happily - left. What really was tragic about tech was its financialization. So many companies more concerned with either an IPO or an inflation of their stock price than they were with creating value and solving problems. It led to all kinds of toxicity on the small scale, and lots of wasted money and talent on the large scale. But now I have come to understand that the reason tech has become like this is that it's a place to park cheap money.

Purchasing Bitcoin doesn't always assures winning, the ability to make profit off your capital is what makes you win... Stop relying on the market price to make profit. Choose trading

[@George-gs3um]

trad-ing with mrs Debra Barton , over time will yeild more returns than doing it all at once. Finding a certified advisor who can educate you on how market has been advised if you're just starter. I'm referring all individuals to trade with mrs debra barton,?

What a testimony!!! 🙏🙏🙏I'm genuinely curious to know how you earn that much monthly

"This is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations." Rutherford B. Hayes - Diary (11 March 1888) 1888!!! 🤯 Btw, this is another excellent piece of journalism by PBS FRONTLINE - James Jacoby and team behind. Thank you. 🙏🏼

[@raymondfrye5017]

History repeats itself...in different ways.

[@pbr549]

A corporation is simply a group of people. If Rutherford B. Hayes ever sat on an indoor toilet it would have been made most likely buy a corporation. Toilet paper made by Proctor and Gamble. Etc. Think about what you think about current POTUS.

[@simonclark9329]

Excellent documentary, extremely well researched and entirely logical conclusions. The current boom has been built on financial engineering and overvalued assets.

[@eugeniebreida1583]

Including real estate bubbles worldwide.

[@kollumthirteen]

They didn’t mention fractional reserve banking at all

[@stevenjuan259]

I started buying some more stocks at the beginning of the year, but nothing big. Why am I treating this so harshly? Despite others in my sector earning six figures apiece, I'm driven to become the first person in my polygamous family to reach a million dollars. I am well aware of the costs associated with working more to get more money.

[@josephlee4001]

The top experts, however, have access to confidential information and data that is not made available to the broader public. Being knowledgeable enough to use them successfully is quite another. Big returns, not changing stochastics, are the key. Rewards and risks must be balanced. To reach your aim, pick the right size and turn your edge as often as necessary.

In light of the significant decreases, I'm in need of advice on how to rebuild my portfolio and develop more successful tactics. Where can I find this teacher?

[@emilysmith5287]

my advisor is "jackson sten marsh" , is a highly respected financial consultant in the industry. For further information or to connect with him, a simple online search with his name will suffice. I wish you every success in your endeavors

[@expertjacksonwilliams7368]

my coach is "Jackson sten marsh". is highly qualified and experienced in the financial market.

[@onwugharablessing8264]

He has an impressive profession and impressive qualifications, so I can see why he is so busy. I thus quickly copied Jackson full name and entered it into my browser.

[@alicialewis9001]

Thank you I am learning daily. My purpose for teaching is to free my time to write and create spaces for people to write and share their stories so that they heal internally and become people who promote healing in their families and communities

[@paulteske4735]

This is the best explanation of the current recession I’ve seen. Outstanding work bringing clarity to the past few years.

[@vytallicaq.6881]

Watch The Money Masters documentary for the solution.

[@rishabhagrawal6809]

Such a comprehensive documentary. The best part about this is that it manages to stay out of political biases and deliver the objective truth. I would love to learn from you guys at Frontline PBS to create such objective content as i myself aspire to do something in this space.

[@vytallicaq.6881]

It doesn't talk about the solution we need. The Money Masters is the documentary you need to see for that.

[@Iquey]

They hire a variety of serious journalists, committed to facts and integrity. They are also publicly funded so they don't have to stay quiet about corporate influences.

[@thephoenixrising4614]

And that's why I liked about it!

[@ClickClack_Bam]

Lol. That's because Joe Biden caused this ENTIRE situation!!! No shit they didn't say that part out loud. Had Trump caused this BULLSHIT they'd have said it 500x in this "documentary". I mean this is PBS. They're 100% obsessed with running cover for the liberal Democrat agenda. Want to do a money failure piece? Well Buddy you CAN'T say the quiet part out loud then: You CAN'T say that Joe Biden took Trump's biggest economic boom EVER before COVID hit & say that Joe Biden ran that straight into the ground!!!

[@davidhunternyc1]

@@vytallicaq.6881 Will check out The Money Masters too. Thank you.

I live in Silicon Valley and I'd not touch a bank with Silicon Valley in the name with a 10-foot pole. That name just screams "scam" to me, being familiar with the ethics of this place, which are close to nonexistent. I make less than $20k a year and a lot of people here make less than I do. It's a poor area with a few rich people.
