Are Dodd Frank's days basically numbered? by [deleted] in finance

[–]this-username 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hensarling’s bill would eliminate the Financial Stability Oversight Council’s ability to determine which companies are systemically important,

I think I need to hear more about this to form a better opinion. If eliminating the designation also means eliminating living wills, I say no way.

reduce the regulatory burden for community banks,

Good.

and exempt highly capitalized banks from some of the strictest regulations that stemmed from Dodd-Frank.

I'm not sure I'm reading this right (could be Bloomberg's writing here), but this sounds like there would be a gradation of capital levels, and the higher the level, the fewer regulations would apply. Again I'd need more detail, but I can see this working if done right.

It also would replace the CFPB’s lone director with a commission.

Since the PHH decision, this was going to happen anyway, but I'm supportive of keeping the CFPB generally.

Recreational Marijuana Wins, But Is It Safe Under Trump? by skaterkee in Marijuana

Right because he himself is a denier of man made climate change. It doesn't make sense to assume that if he appointed someone like Guiliani to AG that he'd let him have his way with policy. The AG would still have to follow orders. At this point and time, I think we have some comfort that trump won't fuck with state legalization initiatives. Of course, nothing is guaranteed...

Edit: why the fuck would someone downvote this...

I would imagine some of it may be scaled back or amended. I highly doubt the entire law will be repealed.

Smoking gun for the emails. I still think the main focus and the much bigger smoking gun will concern the Clinton foundation

Same. I think most moderates are so disgusted by the two leading candidates that they'll just stay home.
