After that Gavin will be forced to actually answer to his dubious “accomplishments” as governor of California.

Awwww... you don't like Gavin? You should let him know - it might make him cry

Engaging with ME as if he anyone is able to carry on an adult conversation with me only encourages ME to spew more idiocy. I am nothing but a troll, a shit flinger, a feral baboon. Nothing more.

Nice that you're able to own your shit, bitch.

I predict gold hits $5000 an ounce before 4th of July.

It's already at 4,800. This is a lame prediction - it'll achieve $5k easily at this before July end.

@Walt we were talking about the next banking collapse 2 years before Silicon Valley and Signature Bank failed. Well on Thursday 29.Jan.2026, Metropolitan Capital Bank failed. Jamie Dimon said he's too big to fail so keep an eye on the S&P 500 because it will let us know if Dimon is lying.

I predict 2026 will be the start of a banking crisis similar to that of the Great Depression because smartphones make it easy to start a panic on a bank run. You with me?

So -

Silicon Valley was an independent consumer bank that tech bros and other startups were using in CA. Yes, what happened with Silicon and other independent banks in 2022 although the fallout might have affected the big banks - the crisis was averted. There were also foreign banks, in Europe that were tanking at the time in 2022.

This is old news.

In theory, the deposits are covered, so there is no risk for most depositors, and no need to panic.

FDIC only covers deposits up to $250,000. So - if you have a million in a bank and it fails, you lose, $750,000.

The problem comes up if multiple banks collapse. Let's say banks depend 100% on the stability of gold, then if gold goes down a bit, which it always does, all the banks at once would fail.

Yep, that's the crisis we had back at the end of Bush's term. The cause was the result of bank deregulation and collusion with rating agencies.

That was something - and something we need to watch the trump administration about because they're stupid and negligent enough to make it happen again!

I advise pay off your mortgage, get your debt down as much as you can, and have a stable income flow.

If people had the disposable income to pay down their debt, most smart people would.

Well you're too dumb to come up with anything on your own, so naturally you plagiarize the most intelligent people on the board.

You may not have a brain, but you have your party.

I am so much smarter than you. Your problem is you're too stupid to know just how much you could learn from me.
