That's what you get for using your isp's DNS

Interesting to just single out students

Jokes on you. How do you know not every bread has been fucked before you ate it? Checkmate, atheists.

Yeah Mads Mickelson. I know him as the casino Royale bond villain. Imo one of the best ever

Might be the best use of AI I've seen

Bad mortgages, bad ratings agencies, and definitely bad issuers.

Thanks for rephrasing. The thing is with regulation when there's a caveat/condition it's forbidden not just a correctness check. I think the underlying sentiment is correct, a blanket ban on something is surely easier to enforce than a nuanced approach.

But that's my whole point since the first post. A blanket ban on securitization just locks away the whole tool when really we should just work to implement effective regulation.

The real problem is that law and subsequent regulation lags behind innovation. Like AI or crypto would be an example. So back in 2008 there was a lot of lag on securitization as an innovation. Subsequent to the crisis, in 2025 market reg is well established on securitization products and derivatives.

It's not semantics when what you're saying doesn't make sense and is contradictory to reality.

Actually, I am not sure what issue you're even raising because of how poorly you communicated.

I thought about not responding at all, tbh, but then thought that it's clear you think there is a some sort of material difference between regulation and law.

Checking if the illegal thing has been done is often easier than checking if the regulated thing has been done correctly,

pointedly incorrect. and thats my point that checking the illegal thing is the same thing as checking the regulated thing. but you assert there is some difference.

Financial regulations are written in law, and thus illegal to violate.

No that's a bad analogy because no one is arguing the water should be taken away because of a misguided understanding that it's inherently dangerous.

The actual analogy is "People have died in water, so no one should swim anymore"

But that's obviously absurd. You hire life guards, teach people to swim, get a life vest, life savers, etc

It's the opposite. Regulation assumes business will do anything they think they can get away with if it will make a buck. A lack of regulation assumes companies won't do those things.

People think "regulators" allowed this to happen, but actually as "regulators" are agencies established by the government that act upon law. At the time of the 2008 financial crash there were limited or few laws (i.e. regulations) on derivatives. It's law makers that refused to act.

It seems people are largely unaware of the myriad of regulatory changes that came after 2008 and bernie that applied to derivatives and customer/investor protection in general.

The same set of factors that created 2008 is no longer applicable as the environment has changed. There will surely be new regulatory weaknesses that need to be addressed
