Would be a good move imo, this rule has contributed quite a bit to the corporatization of the banking industry (well, more corporate than past decades, that is).

Can you explain to me why that’s your opinion?

Trying to wrap my head around economics makes me dizzy but it seems to me that “having stakes in a hedge fund or private equity fund“ is the type of thing that encourages corruption.

Honestly, I’m not even quite sure what you mean by “more corporate”

Huh? When did i tell him what to post? And yes, he can be. Im not really sure what youre getting at. I was just encouraging him to post more and seperately explaining why his posts have been ignored or mocked in the past.


^ Perhaps I misinterpreted or took too literally a comment you made when you were in the midst of a flame war yesterday.
My apologies.

All I got from this is that its correct to be racist if youre old and believe your racial superiority is true. I dont care what you think is true. I care about believing something for a logical reason and whats actually true based on the reality we experience.

If you believe something without sound reasoning you are a dullard.

Monopolized would be a more appropriate word. The big banks are gaining control of the market in their favour.

The point is that if you're not challenging your own ideas after a certain age then hardline, emotional views (such as racism) that were too deep set to deal with in the space of a few decades get preserved in amber for no reason and, if you have children, potentially passed on so that later generations still have to deal with something you were to stubborn to look at critically. It's especially dangerous since the 30s-50s is often the age range in which you will be molding the minds of your children.

But hey if you're satisfied with your intellectual growth at this point then I'm sure you're not part of the problem.
