yeh critical (since they (electorates in my ciuntry since 1970s) empowered banks with all the investment decisions) that those banks see more short term profit (and balance sheet growth), from business loans to small businesses than mortgages, consumer credit, and AAA large corp debt.
Otherwise any potential regulation fron competition is strangled.
unfortunately banks seem to prefer morgtgages over a productive/competetive economy for some really hard to predict reason . . .
I think it was a big mistake to let commercial banks into morgages, i think consumer credit should be heavily limited, and there should be some small business/local limitations on banks, so that they invest some % directly in diverse competetive economy in the places near to where their creditors live. (I know hard to regulate, but harder than regulating a mutinational bank . . .?)
globalised unregulated banking doesnt seem to help with much to me - unless you live in China maybe.
. . . enough species of apes.
There's way more than enough individual apes - at least in my shitty parrt of N. Europe.
in my goverment job things break every day with MS.
fortunately my job is not important.
yeah, my dad was an immigrant, and said a surprising amount of the immigrant commuity has a "pull up the drawbridge" mentality.
they're still probably in a minority of a minority though - but loud like other self obsessed arseholes.
creating a perception of competition for work, or status or whatever, as a zero sum game is the same as the fearmongering that the racists try to use to get moderate working class peoople on their side.
i'd say a usb hub, so you can easily connect kb and mouse if you want to get into desktop mode.
the one i have has usb3 in and out for power passthrough.
a couple of normal usbs , hdmi output, and ethernet port.
for me i also use that hub to add in usb storage (mostly if i want movies when travelling or something)
i use the ethernet port for large downloads - my wifi is a bit lame.
i'm thinking about a 3d printed stand for it (that i can clip the hub into) - but i might just make one out of scrap wood because it's nicer than shitty plastic.
are cows included? or are they a-milking something else?
