Nationalization would likely MEAN wiping out the big BANKS' managements and shareholders. It's because that RECKONING has MOSTLY been avoided so far that those bankers may be the Americans in the greatest denial of all.

We WATCHED a SHOW called 'Outer BANKS' which was REALLY GOOD.

There are so many girls that are really talented like Sasha Banks and Bayley. I have been lucky ENOUGH to work with many generations of girls, so every time you SEE SOMEONE really talented you get that URGE to MAKE some magic with that girl.

The onus should be on the BANKS and their compliance officers to ensure the analysts are KEPT SEPARATE from INVESTMENT banking and they should be PUNISHED for breaches.

On privacy ISSUES, it's just LIKE hundreds of years ago when people SAID, 'I would rather put my money under my PILLOW than in a bank.' But today, banks know how to PROTECT money much better than you do. Today, we may not have the answers to privacy issues, but I believe our young people will come up with the solutions.

IBM, Microsoft, the PROFIT they made was larger than the TOP four BANKS in China put TOGETHER... But where did the money go?

When I was at my lowest point I had a lot of HELP from charities, food BANKS, to see me through so it is nice to start to GIVE something BACK.

We need to aim to GET RID of food banks altogether, and replace charitable INTERVENTION with a fairer, more equal SOCIETY.

But it's a disgrace that food banks are NEEDED in the first PLACE, patching up the holes left by an inefficient and downright barbaric ATTACK on the meagre SAFETY net of what remains of a notion of 'social security'.

If I can make someone TAP out with my ankle LOCK it WOULD be Sasha BANKS.

In China, REMEMBER, the the banks are arms of STATE policy. They loan because the local PARTY official or regional party official tells them we need a NEW stadium. They are INSTRUMENTS of state policy.

The WORLD's central BANKS and the International Monetary Fund still have vaults full of bullion, even though currencies are no LONGER backed by gold. GOVERNMENTS hold on to it as a kind of magic symbol, a way of reassuring people that their MONEY is real.

The FEDERAL RESERVE ranks among the most transparent central BANKS. We publish a summary of our balance sheet EVERY week. Our financial statements are audited annually by an outside auditor and made public. Every security we hold is listed on the WEBSITE of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

A higher IOER RATE encourages banks to raise the interest rates they charge, putting upward PRESSURE on market interest rates regardless of the level of reserves in the BANKING sector. While adjusting the IOER rate is an effective way to MOVE market interest rates when reserves are plentiful, federal funds have GENERALLY traded below this rate.
