  • It was introduced long ago and in the spirit of the law it gave manufacturers a decade to switch to the new standard, phase out the old connectors and sell off their old stock. If manufacturers chose to stick with the old until the last minute…

    The same happened with GDPR. It was introduced with a lead in time of 5 years… everyone ignored it until it was mandatory and then everyone panicked and scrambled. If you wait to start your homework until the evening before it’s due, there will be stress.

    With banks this is also true if they do not have enough liquid assets to meet the legal requirements. So the bank might not be able to count all bank accounts as assets but the FDIC is. Also they can then restructure the bank and force creditors to take a haircut.

    This is why investment banks should be separate from banks that have consumer accounts that are insured by the government.
    Then you can just let the investment bank fail. This was the whole premise of glass steagall that was repealed under clinton…













  • Change in this case is not, “were doing everything completely different”, but more of where the focus of the policy is. And the focus on “the economy” does shit for normal people. I’m sure wrecking the economy will hurt them… but the simple fact is biden-harris failed to adress the issues facing a looooooot of americans.

    And your chocolate pudding example perfectly aligns with the failure to imprison Trump. The Americans don’t care about ANY of his crimes because the justice system and the president did not Care.

    If it was soooooooo important, he would have been thrown in jail, publicly prosecuted and executed for treason… and he was not. Instead everyone danced around it, and SHOWED the American people there are zero consequences while saying “he is so dangerous, he is so bad, he is a criminal”. Well like you say, talk is cheap. Put up or shut up… and the American people said the same. All the anti Trump rhetoric was dismissed because if any of it where true he would have been in jail.

    The fact Biden is the most pro worker and pro u ion does not mean shit if the whole world saw you use executive power to publicly stop the strike. The fact that he later in backrooms got them ak OK deal… was done in the limelight… so that’s an own goal. He should have targeted the Corporation at the same time… but he did not.

    So I get what you are saying. And I argue, the Dems fucked themselves… a lot… repeatedly…


  • No, the Democratic party ran a candidate that wanted to keep the status quo in a period the whole country needed change.

    And during the last 4 years the sitting president was actually sleepy Joe. He should have arrested trump and his co conspirators and throw away the key after a very public trial.

    But instead, they did nothing to stem the tide of fascism. If you want to blame people, blame the technocrats Trump was projecting on during his campaign. As if he is a small portion of who he says he is, he will show everyone what the Dems should have done.
