I would contend the system is so complex, as to allow certain classes to avoid the actual terms of regulation. 11:36 <@Corydon76-dig> Because without that, market players are prone to distortion 11:36 <@cerkit> Corydon76-dig: Unbalancing the free market, and its ability to be naturally corrective. 11:36 <@cerkit> In other words, corruption. 11:36 <@Corydon76-dig> And remember, a truly free market REQUIRES perfect information 11:37 <@cerkit> I agree it needs strong regulation; and that we donot have that. 11:37 <@cerkit> We simply have complex regulation. 11:37 < CRasH180> I submit that they are not corrupt and we should give them our money willingly. j/k 11:37 <@cerkit> The government is as corrupt as the banks. 11:37 <@cerkit> And the rating agencies. 11:37 <@cerkit> Or they couldn't exist as they do, frankly. 11:37 -!- AstralSin [n=astralsi@97.81.141.96] has quit [Read error: 60 (Operation timed out)] 11:38 <@Corydon76-dig> CRasH180: I can guarantee you, if you invest your money with me, I will lose it slower than the market is today 11:38 <@jb7od> lol 11:38 < CRasH180> lol 11:38 <@cerkit> The entire "crisis" was created by instruments rated and some even sponsered by the government. 11:38 < CRasH180> The check is in the mail 11:38 <@cerkit> An d those rating agencies. 11:39 <@cerkit> The problem is, no incentive exists to proect the tax paying bail outees. For instance, the ratings agencies MAKE money on an issuance. 11:39 <@cerkit> So, why would they want to give it a shitty rating, that wouldn't be bought? 11:39 <@cerkit> LOADS of nonsense like that -- and of course, our tax law. 11:40 <@cerkit> Corydon76-dig: so, I really agree with what you're saying in a way, but for different reasons. 11:40 <@cerkit> I don't think we've HAD a free market for a while. 11:40 <@Corydon76-dig> cerkit: To a certain extent, I agree 11:40 -!- AstralSin [n=astralsi@97.81.141.96] has joined #se2600 11:40 <@cerkit> You realize for instance, public banks can have things called "level 3 assets"? 11:41 <@cerkit> They don't need to be disclosed. heh 11:41 <@Corydon76-dig> I think that some forces have equated a free market with a deregulated market, and it should be clear to all parties that that is false 11:41 <@cerkit> Thats free market distortion. 11:41 <@cerkit> The lack of the enforcement of EXISTING regulation. 11:41 <@cerkit> Which causes people to think we need more. 11:42 <@cerkit> Which only perpetuates their advocating levers of mobility. 11:42 <@Corydon76-dig> Yes, but the main cause of the financial crisis was instruments that are not regulated, period 11:42 <@cerkit> CDS? 11:42 <@Corydon76-dig> Right 11:42 <@cerkit> Or MBS? 11:42 <@Corydon76-dig> and STILL not regulated 11:42 <@Corydon76-dig> CDS 11:42 <@cerkit> CDS is a problem. 11:42 <@cerkit> I agree. 11:42 <@cerkit> But the fact that can even exist, is the problem. 11:42 <@cerkit> Not that they are non-regulated\ 11:43 <@Corydon76-dig> What's MBS? 11:43 <@cerkit> Mortgage backed Securities 11:43 <@Corydon76-dig> MBS is fine 11:43 <@cerkit> See, I have my problems there too. 11:43 <@cerkit> Securitization of debt like that... disturbs me. 11:44 <@Corydon76-dig> and CDS, from a purely risk management position, is fine, as long as it is done between two organizations which ACTUALLY issue credit 11:44 <@cerkit> It means the banking system has already failed. 11:44 <@cerkit> And needs to generate paper to support artifically inflated growth 11:44 <@Corydon76-dig> but a CDS should be regulated as insurance 11:45 <@Corydon76-dig> Just as in life insurance, you should not be able to purchase a CDS on an unrelated transaction 11:46 <@cerkit> Yeah, but the same people issuing under-capitalized debt as MBS, turn around and buy undercapitalized insurance (from alike banks)... 11:46 <@cerkit> It creates huge levered risk. 11:46 <@cerkit> heh 11:46 <@cerkit> Since they're all in the same business man, they just trade it between themselves. 11:46 <@Corydon76-dig> MBS is how our credit markets have worked, though, for 50 years 11:47 <@cerkit> If at any point in the cycle, a lack of capital happens, it falls apart. 11:47 <@cerkit> Corydon76-dig: Dude, a lot of those years were artifically inflated through what Greenspan was doing though. 11:47 <@Corydon76-dig> It's the repackaging of MBS that was the problem 11:47 <@cerkit> And the major use of securitization by the banks, started in the 80s 11:47 <@cerkit> not 50 years ago 11:48 <@cerkit> Companies securitized, sure 11:48 <@cerkit> But not the banks. 11:48 <@cerkit> Banks did bond offerings, bought treasuries, etc. 11:48 <@cerkit> And gold, frankly. 11:48 <@Corydon76-dig> Right, but because they were forbidden to do anything else, by Glass-Steagal 11:48 <@cerkit> I don't know, maybe you're right, but, I don't like how that works. 11:48 <@Corydon76-dig> which was repealed in 1999 11:48 <@cerkit> Seems very house of cards to me. 11:49 <@cerkit> I'd rather we not grow that fast 11:49 <@cerkit> than grow that way 11:49 <@cerkit> myself. 11:49 <@Corydon76-dig> I remember that time. CitBank was a major player in the repeal of Glass-Steagal 11:49 <@Corydon76-dig> and the trouble they've gotten themselves into... 11:50 <@Corydon76-dig> Not just themselves; the rest of America, too 11:50 <@Corydon76-dig> Glass-Steagal was passed in 1933 to prevent EXACTLY the problems that led to the Great Depression 11:50 <@cerkit> Agreed. 11:51 <@cerkit> A lot of it was also our current Sec. Tres. then Goldman Sachs CEO. 11:51 <@cerkit> Who lobbied for twice, and got in 2004, capital ratio requirements changes 11:51 <@cerkit> in US investment banks, all of which are now gone. 11:51 <@cerkit> It allowed them to go from 12-15 to 1, to 40 to 1 11:52 <@cerkit> And back then, everyone was at 10 for safety reasons, and 12-15 was the limit in that context. 11:52 <@cerkit> heh 11:53 <@cerkit> Oddly all those these you mention, and what I just mentioned, came back to haunt us all. 11:53 <@Corydon76-dig> Yep 11:53 <@cerkit> Its so Anti-Darwinian. 11:53 <@Corydon76-dig> over-leveraged 11:53 <@cerkit> All the shitcocks than landed us here, are the one's given the money, to allegedly get us out. 11:53 <@cerkit> that* 11:54 <@rhia> one word: 11:54 <@rhia> greed 11:54 <@cerkit> We should have let it collapse and given a whole new crew of people $700b to start brand new banks. 11:54 <@cerkit> It would have been faster, less painful, and full of lessons. 11:55 <@m0j0-j0j0> cerkit: word 11:55 <@cerkit> We're fucking any one of the people in this channel with children. 11:55 <@cerkit> Over 10.5 trillion in commitments so far. 11:55 <@cerkit> 4+ trillion of that used. 11:56 <@Corydon76-dig> Can we just call it child rape and put Paulson behind bars for good? 11:56 <@cerkit> We should be able to call it treason... 11:56 <@cerkit> I mean, "they" unhinged the entire US economy. 11:56 <@cerkit> Not that it was carefully designed to protect against... 11:56 <@m0j0-j0j0> well 11:56 <@Corydon76-dig> I think treason is a stretch, unless you can show conspiracy 11:57 <@m0j0-j0j0> terrorism is contrrolling people by fear 11:57 <@cerkit> But don't the people make the government in our country? :) 11:57 <@cerkit> I mean shot. 11:57 <@cerkit> shito 11:57 <@cerkit> Corydon76-dig: It took at least Paulsen and Cox 11:57 <@cerkit> You can't do what was done without them being in the jobs they had and then the government officials positions... 11:57 <@m0j0-j0j0> and right now everyone I know is being controlled by fear of the economy and fear of being unemployeed 11:58 <@cerkit> And I HATE being the conspiracy theorist at this point 11:58 <@Corydon76-dig> cerkit: yeah, but there's a difference between conspiracy and incompetence 11:58 <@cerkit> But, even if you say "okay, maybe it wasn't a conspiracy and they were just dumb" -- gross misconduct does not preclude stupidity 11:58 <@cerkit> as a cuase, I mnean 11:59 <@cerkit> You don't get to get off the hook in a position like that, so simply. 11:59 <@cerkit> "Oops, I declared war." 11:59 <@cerkit> "Oops, I accidentally asked for 700 billion." 11:59 <@cerkit> heh 11:59 <+shadowmoss> ACK!!! 11:59 <@cerkit> They have different jobs than we do. 11:59 <@Corydon76-dig> Yes, but with incompetence, you can go higher and the person who put them in power is then on the hook 11:59 <+shadowmoss> someone come make all these decisions for me 11:59 <@rhia> "criminal misconduct" comes to mind 12:00 <+shadowmoss> and me the decisions in the way I'll look back and know was the right ones 12:00 <@cerkit> Corydon76-dig: If you follow that rationale, you have to blame the American people. 12:00 <@Corydon76-dig> cerkit: no, just the ones who voted for Bush 12:00 <@cerkit> And I think by virtue of taking these sorts of actions, the American people would be assuming blame and would be acting as someone responsible. 12:01 <@Corydon76-dig> cerkit: and if they're judged incompetant to vote, then the next few election cycles will be grand 12:01 <@cerkit> Corydon76-dig: as much as I'd like to just have everyone line up, and "deal" with anyone who didn't get 100 on an IQ test... 12:01 <@cerkit> we can't do that 12:01 <@rhia> cerkit: hence "criminal misconduct" by those who should have known better, but really, REALLY like the extra 0s at the end of their bank statements 12:01 <@cerkit> I would be fantastic... 12:01 <@cerkit> fast... cost effective... 12:01 <@cerkit> unfortunately, its not "free" as the founding fathers intended it. 12:02 <@cerkit> So, destroying the stupid will not work. 12:02 <@cerkit> We have to educate them. 12:02 <@cerkit> No? 12:02 <+shadowmoss> should I wake NL up and make him start packing? 12:02 <@Corydon76-dig> cerkit: intelligence and incompentence are two different things 12:02 <@cerkit> Corydon76-dig: I guess, but one is really a function of a lack of another. 12:03 <@Corydon76-dig> cerkit: No, I think they're completely different measurements 12:03 <@cerkit> I guess I've yet to meet someone intelligent and incompetent. 12:03 <@Corydon76-dig> Competent unintelligent people don't try to second guess themselves 12:04 <@rhia> Einstein was very nearly socially and financially incompent, but not unintelligent 12:04 <@Corydon76-dig> cerkit: Oh, I've met a TON of those 12:04 <@cerkit> rhia: That assumes his methods were not ideal contrast to some other set, right? 12:04 <@cerkit> What makes the other set so ideal? 12:04 <@cerkit> heh 12:04 -!- CRasH180 [n=what@c-68-52-32-134.hsd1.tn.comcast.net] has quit ["Ex-Chat"] 12:05 <@cerkit> I love the smart guy no social skills discussion because it assumes every one elses sociality is GOOD by degault. 12:05 <@rhia> Tesla and Edison were 'eccentric', too - iow, they were incompetent in many areas, but neither was unintelligent 12:06 <@rhia> cerkit: not so much didn't know the right fork, more like would forget they weren't wearing pants socially incompetent 12:06 <@cerkit> What if they were smart enough to realize, given their configuration and ability, it would be better if they didn't speak to people, and just worked on their research? 12:06 <@rhia> or that bills require payment 12:06 <@rhia> or that bodies require sustenance 12:06 <@Corydon76-dig> If businesses in this country weeded out the incompetent, they could lay off a ton of the competent people who compensate, and this country would have a 90% unemployment rate 12:06 <@cerkit> 80/20 12:07 <@cerkit> Its actually been shown to be true -- the 80/20 principle. 12:07 <@cerkit> Corydon76-dig: What do we do with them after we fire them? 12:07 <@Corydon76-dig> 80% of the work is performed by 20% of the people? 12:08 <@cerkit> Yeah. 12:08 <@cerkit> But, I'd rather talk about the answer to my question. 12:08 <@cerkit> What do you do with them? 12:08 <@Corydon76-dig> No idea 12:08 <@rhia> Corydon76-dig: soylent green? 12:09 <@cerkit> This all assumes we have a valid way of making the determination too, thats universally meaningful. 12:09 <@cerkit> But, if we did, the bigger problem is what the hell you do with them. 12:10 <@rhia> cerkit: Heinlein had quite a few ideas on making that determination 12:10 <@cerkit> We could breed them as power sources, like The Matrix. 12:10 <@cerkit> :) 12:10 <@m0j0-j0j0> cerkit: slavery 12:10 <@cerkit> m0j0-j0j0: They'd just fuck it up 12:10 <@cerkit> thats the point. 12:10 <@m0j0-j0j0> cerkit: leading export?

And we'll need them to be not so dumb. 12:33 <@rhia> eh, there are some sharp ones, as in all generations - but our education system here hasn't helped 12:34 <@cerkit> rhia: My own experience tells me the number is a decling one. 12:34 <@cerkit> declining 12:34 <@rhia> thankfully some other countries haven't slacked quite so hard on teaching their kids how to think 12:34 <@cerkit> thankfully, in that, at least when they conquer us they'll be nice? 12:34 <@cerkit> or.. 12:34 <@cerkit> :) 12:36 <@cerkit> I'll say what every one I know says. 12:36 <@cerkit> "Obama will fix it." 12:36 <@rhia> Obama isn't a god 12:36 <@cerkit> He better be. 12:37 <@rhia> Obama was just, by far, the lesser of the two major party candidates 12:38 <@cerkit> If he doesn't do something, we're going to be like Russia not too long ago. 12:38 <@cerkit> Liquidation Nation. 12:38 <@rhia> and the last decade has left a lot of manure to sweep up before the underlying problems can be addressed 12:38 <@cerkit> At which point, you'll see the REAL terror behind greed and corruption, when they sell our dangerous technology around the world. 12:38 <@cerkit> As the government tries to re-assert itself. 12:38 <@cerkit> (post collapse) 12:39 <@rhia> to suture or cauterize the wound, you have to clean up the blood to find it 12:39 <@rhia> and we're bleeding badly right now 12:39 <@cerkit> See, this is where I'm troubled. 12:39 <@cerkit> It is not a wound, and we're not bleeding. 12:40 <@cerkit> We're flat lined.
