#Florida #Governor and U.S. presidential #candidate #Ron #DeSantis has raked in #millions of #dollars—and even a golf simulator—from wealthy #corporate #interests. At the same time, he’s #stripped #protections from #renters, let #insurance & #utility #companies #hike #rates, and #cut #taxes on the #wealthy. Jason Garcia exposes his real record.

So why did they take out a variable-rate #mortgage? Sure, it chopped a few dollars off their payments as long as rates stayed low, but not a huge amount, and doing so exposed to them to the large #risk of rising #rates.
How is this not poor #planning?

Europe's largest bank reported profits before tax of almost $22 billion - up nearly13 billion dollars on the same time a year earlier. The lender also saw its profits further boosted from its purchase of the UK arm of the now-defunct Silicon Valley Bank, which it bought in March for just over a dollar.

Republicans screaming recession for 3+ years was my signal to go all in. My investments are up 220% this year.

We may be looking at a series of bankruptcies or pennies on the dollar acquisitions for web 2.0 companies.
#reddit, #twitch and in a way #twitter all announced changes that were overwhelmingly poorly received by their users.
Each of the above grew massively in the 2010s when interest #rates were low and #VC money plentiful. This is no longer the case in 2023 and geniuses like /u/spez can no longer operate on other's money.
It's not greed, it's desperation and bad investments.

More the reason why we shouldn't simply let #bigtech have our #data "just like that".
As I point out here, https://rammohansusarla.in/2021/12/06/with-data-being-the-new-oil-the-emerging-digital-age-would-spur-battles-over-data-as-the-new-frontier-for-businesses/

The Bank of Canada raised their rates
To their highest score in twenty-two states
It's a sign of their might
To keep inflation in sight
But key overnight rates are still quite great

This #podcast makes the case that outrageous corporate profits are #responsible for 60% of the inflation we're currently contending with, and that instead of pretending that the only way to fight inflation is to increase #interest #rates, the #Fed could cut inflation by 60% overnight with a windfall #tax on obscene corporate profits"
