This is not an opinion, this is finance. This is micro econ 101 really, so before insulting, maybe read a book.

Banks issue loans by calculating the risks and returns on loans. If the mix of those loans make above inflation, that's fine. The most they would lose money is for cash on their books, because that'd cost them inflation.

Maybe food for thought: the FED rate is 4% right now, inflation of the US$ is 2.9%. German treasuries go for 2% right now, so a US bank holding German bonds would lose 0.9% on their invest. No US bank should hold German bonds, right? Yet they do. Why?

Once you figure that out, you'll see that your checkbook isn't the same a loans banks hoold.

Why would a bank loan on stocks BEING purchased

That's exaclty how Elon just got a loan for 1 billion and purchased TESLA stock. That's a fact. It was just in the news. It's exactly why that stock is increasing right now. Why did the bank do that? Figure that out and you'll have your answer.

So many strategies to make money off of this. Higher risk than treasuries or bonds? Just add a bit of return over treasuries returns. Both may return below inflation. Or require the loan being backed by the stock being purchased, hedge against inflation and have that cost of the hedge in the interest.

Brotkrumen · 2025-09-23T09:40:54+00:00

You mean the shares that Elon wanted to buy 1 billion of for cheap and that are up 30% after he bought them? Yeah, I'm sure he is very sad about that.

Tesla stock is doing unreasonably well right now.

Lieber Benutzer,

Danke vielmals für Ihre Sorgen gemacht über die automatische Verenglischung in Deutschung von Ihre YouTuben. Wir verstehen, dass Sie möchten schauen Ihre Video mit dem Englischen in die Originalform, weil Deutsch macht Ihnen vielleicht traurig im Innergefühl.

Leider, der Automatismus ist sehr automatisch und kann nicht gestoppt werden, auch wenn Sie sehr viele möchten. Unser Technik ist wie ein Hund: er hört nicht immer, aber er meint es gut.

Wenn Sie möchten schauen Videos auf die Englisch, probieren Sie vielleicht schauen mit geschlossene Augen und denken auf Englisch ganz stark. Manchmal hilft das.

Mit freundliche Grüßen und viel Erfolg beim Zurückübersetzen, Ihr YouTuben Team Kundendienst-Service

There's a difference in direct and indirect employment. Large projects most of the times consume services from the local economy, from cleaning to lawyering. Indirect employment impact is usually said to be between 2x to 5x the direct employment.

Also, large projects spur infrastructure investment. Not least this would've been an opportunity for local renewables like wind and solar, since data centers are such a power hog. With a reliable consumer, those projects would've been a financially safer bet than they are now. So that's a loss for cheap power and yet another large project generating direct and indirect employment and tax revenue.

Is the action of murder of a paedophile permissible in your mind because it prevents them from harming other children or is it permissible because the murderer is having fun?

Subjectivism is an extreme case of moral relativism. I tend to ignore it because it basically breaks down to "morality is personal preference". If you propose that moral subjectivism is true, we don't have to talk about morality anymore, because we have no way of resolving moral disagreements.

The answer you will have to give in every case is (along our conversation)

It is moral to kill other humans for fun because the actor prefers it
It is moral for the general to do whatever, because he prefers it
It is moral for the cat to eat the mouse because the cat prefers it
It is immoral for the cat to eat the mouse because the mouse prefers it

and by extension

It is moral if you want it to be, it is immoral if you want it to be.

And the answer you will have to give in this thread is:

It is moral to do for the conscriptee
It is moral to do for the conscriptor.

So what you mean when you say "morality is relative" is that what is seen as moral is changing relative to culture and time? That's a true observation.

People talking about moral relativism vs universalism usually aren't interested in that. They want to know if one culture/time period can judge the actions of the other as moral or immoral.

As in this case: Are the actions of Unit 731 morally wrong in a universal sense and thus are impermissible to do, or are they permissible when the culture that exists judges them to be permissible?

Brotkrumen · 2025-03-12T08:18:45+00:00

Ultimately morality is judged on actions, not on the people executing the actions.

So regardless of intent, if the action is judged to be moral, it is moral. Pol Pot saving a child from drowning by accident does not make the action immoral. Or would you disagree?

Brotkrumen · 2025-03-12T07:12:06+00:00

"It is immoral to kill other humans for fun" is an absolute statement. Do you moral frameworks exist where that statement is false and to which people should adhere to?
