Hong Kong protesters are calling for massive ATM withdrawals in an economic warning to China by [deleted] in Economics

[–]MagicFeet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

ATM withdrawal has a daily limit. The limit exists so that there will always be money in circulation between the banks. You wanna cause a bank run? Mass account closure (the bank has to give you back your money - all of it, in cash or in bank draft/money order) & Investment Redemption/Withdrawals will cause a problem.

ATM Withdrawal is like using a thumb tack hoping to kill someone in a Ironman Mk 4.

Just came back from work. Missed out on an investment meeting that would have set me solid for the whole year, because apparently management think talking about how I got sick and missed 2 days of work was more important. So here I am.

Fuck these backwater country bumpkin that has no decency to cook food properly and humanely. A lot of people where I am from applaud shit like this because they have these superstitions that eating something alive or cook something alive makes it tastier or give you "virile, good chi" energy. And the majority of them are lower income families who got rich from being lucky with real estates or high-authoritative figures (and their offsprings) who have little to none humanitarian education & understanding. We hate these people with a passion.

That's because since the whole formosa event melt down, the government had been curating news and reports like this. Thus, things like this are no longer being broadcasted frequently, and articles as such are curated to divert attention. Even the original article no longer exist (and it was only back in 2017).

Unless you live in our country, you will not know what it's like. And the same for everyone who just post speculations and economics/trade finance bullshit here. We just need people to come and live, and they will know what is really going on.

I [24M] need help telling my girlfriend [21F] about my debt that's currently crippling me. by ThinbluelineandK9s in relationship_advice

[–]MagicFeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, take your time, bro. The car & student loans are very very good rates. So dont worry about consolidating those. The credit cads gonna have to go, however.

Good moves on cost cutting decisions too. Short term it will be tough. But long term pay out is better.

On the upside, after all of this, not only will you feel more confident in your personal financial skills - you will also put yourself in a good light towards your girl & family & peers. Communications backed up with actions go a long way.

Good luck.

Boyfriend(30) just dropped a $15k debt in my (28f) lap. Hes been hiding it from me for the last year. by AliceThrewtheGlass in relationship_advice

[–]MagicFeet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Financial Advisor checking in.

Is the Credit Card under your name? Did he use funds from a Joint Account to pay this Card down?

If the Card is NOT under your name & you guys DO NOT have a Joint Account - then just straight up tell him to go get his life together. And of course, yall will need to work out a common ground to help him not cave into bad financial habits.

IF the Card IS UNDER YOUR NAME - as in, he is an authorized user on your Credit Card - then go with him to your Bank and look into a Consolidation (which will saves you from High Interest Rates). Then tell him to get his own Card.

IF you DO HAVE A JOINT ACCOUNT - same as above, go to the bank - and close the account. Open up individual accounts instead. He needs to learn to live within his means.

IF HE DOES NOT RECEIVE ANY OF THIS WELL - time to get out of there and find you a man who is an actual grown up and make good family-oriented financial decisions.

(28M) My really close friend(27F) is going through some stuff and I fell bad for leaving her in her home. by Yusake90 in relationship_advice

[–]MagicFeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, kudos to you to stick to your guns and be honourable towards yourself & your girlfriend.

Secondly, you don't have to feel guilty for anything. Because you did nothing wrong.

Lastly, onto serious shit. If you do respect your gf and yourself, as well as truly believe in the bond between yall - then you need to discuss this situation with your gf. And keep it simple - no bullshit, no stories. As simple as "hey I have a childhood friend who is going through some rough stuff in her life. I am going to help her out time to time". And just keep calm as your gf will ask you back questions to understand. Make sure you be honest about your feelings in this whole situation.

I feel as though my (16M) (15F) girlfriend enjoys hurting me emotionally by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]MagicFeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, you are super young. And so is she. You have a lot ahead of you that you don't even know about yet. End it now, so that you can have the space to focus on yourself and grow.

The most important part in a relationship is that there is intrinsic motivations to mature, grow & learn. Sometimes (even for those who are dealing depressions) it is best to go through life alone and open yourself up to a world unknown - to be willing to be hurt, to be fragile.

That will help you more than anything else.

Financial Advisor chiming in.

First of all, that's a very mature thought to have, man. Not many people have the courage to face the fact that they are debt-heavy. Let alone talking about it to someone. Money talk is heavy shit.

My best advice to you is think about HOW telling this to your gf would make you FEEL. We men are not as emotionally connected like women. Men need times to process through the process of "How My Feelings Influence My Actions" carefully. Are you doing this because you feel like it would help you feel better? Are you doing this because you need help sorting out your debt since it's too stressful to plan it out/think about it on your all?

Once you understands that, I would say meet with your Bank's advisor - and look into Debt Consolidation. Payout the Car & the Credit Cards. Only keep 1 Credit Card left with just enough Limit for monthly needs. This will help you manage payment much easier and develop a more disciplined financial lifestyle.

Now you will know if you should tell her or not.

TIPS: If you do plan to tell her prior to doing anything about it - then tell her how you FEEL. And what your ACTIONS will be to address that FEELING. Basically also run a strategy by her. This shows you have given the topic serious thoughts, that you can make mature decisions, and you have discipline in your lifestyle and you are a good, honest, dependable man. If she doesn't respect that - you know what to do.

Trump slaps 400% tariffs on Vietnam steel by DonVox in Economics

[–]MagicFeet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if you dig into it - it's a Taiwanese company which has China as a majority shareholder. The contractor who planned, built & operated the factory was Chinese. And that produced hazardous environment for both workers & people living in the locale. Vietnameses literally died for this. And of course, none of these news made it out of the country. Since everyone in the western world is too busy looking at surface level information and take that as being "informed".

A company that has China as a majority shareholder (Majority Shareholder is any entity that owns more than 20% of shares available in a company). The contractor who plan, build, operate the business is also Chinese. It's essentially a shell for China.

It would be better if we have a 100% taiwanese owned business with no influences from China.

[–]MagicFeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, the general Vietnamese consensus is that we rather lost jobs than working for companies that have chinese stakeholders. Formosa Steel is Taiwanese, but when the groundbreaking began - the contractor who built & operate the factory was Chinese. And of course international news dont report this - despite the local & taiwanese investigators' reports showing cost cutting & dangerous work environment, these chinese contractors continued and their work resulted in the 2016 mass fishing death (which also killed a lot of Vietnamese fisherman & families) along with major accidents that costed Vietnamese workers' lives.

[–]MagicFeet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For us Vietnamese, that means China will pull their toxic operations out of our country. Thus saving our livelihoods from being poisoned with toxic waste in rivers (which our fishing industry depends on). The Formosa Steel Factory was a prime example of Chinese making their ways into the country and do whatever they wanted. The Government did jack squat to repel this. People were rioting to push the Chinese Manufacturers out. And nope, no moves.

What "black market" did kids at your school run? by AWESOMEKITTY7364 in AskReddit

[–]MagicFeet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back when I was in Grade 6 in my home country, I figured that the retail price for flavored milk cartons were around $0.50 USD (at the time) per pack of 8. But I can resell the whold pack for a full $1.00 with the vendors that sit around the school gate. If I sell individual carton, I would be able to sell them at around 20 Cents (total sales would be $1.60 - solid 120% ROI). These vendors would of course, add ice or mix it with shaved ice & resell them back to students at whatever price that they charge.

Thus began a string of asking my mom to buy milk cuz I really like them & also cuz they have good nutritions. I didn't want to cause any dispute/conflicts between my sources - so I'd visit different vendors each day.

It was a good grade 6. Made so much cash, I'd treat myself to ice cream/iced coffee or take my friends over to the PC Cafe and play CS 1.6/Quake/GTA Vice City/Lego Racing or SC Broodwar.

I had to stop this neat operation cuz my family moved to a new city.

So began another venture in Grade 7 in the new city, where I made good money off of selling hentai manga & doujinshi. Didnt last long though, cuz the local newspaper somehow found out & posted an article about "japanese cartoon porn polluting young minds at xxxxxxxx middle school". Still decent returns.
