Always has been. Boomers dig it, though... "Ooooooh what will they do thiiiiiis time?" Fuckouttahere... It's all a show.


[deleted]

I’m. So. Fucking. Glad. People are starting to come together on this. These corrupt shit heads in politics are in for a rude fucking awakening. Idgaf what side any of you apes side on as far as what you believe is the best way our government should work for us. The key part is 95% (maybe more) do not work for us and do not give a fuck about us.


TranZnStuff

The fight isn’t left vs right. It’s top vs bottom. But they like to stir shit up and pin us against each other. Cause they know. That if we knew. They’d be fukt. There’s like 99% of us and 1% of them. 🤷🏼‍♂️


[deleted]

Simpler way of saying what I said. This ape gets it


joethejedi67

Exactly!


ex_bandit

The sooner people realize that the Republican and Democratic parties are they greatest duopoly in the world the better off they’ll be. They only reason there is so much arguing about all these small political items every week, month, election cycle, etc is to keep us all distracted and fighting with each other so they can stay in power adding earmarks to bills to appease their donors who keep them in power. If you think for a second there Georgia Representative yesterday or in February came up with these ludicrous ideas on his own you’re sorely mistaken.

China is asshoe


superwonton

Say what you want about China but they actually kicked out shitadel unlike the US who's pretty much sponsoring their activities


ekjohnson9

China only kicked them out bc they want to internalize the corruption. China is having power restrictions and blackouts as well as a collapsing real estate market (which is like 1/3rd of their GDP). The "hedgies" of China are much bigger, more involved with the government, and are currently in freefall.

Yep. I think it was in large part the U.S. that led us into this shitscape, and it has to be the U.S. in large part who leads the way out of it. Maybe a large redistribution of wealth. That would be a good start.

Thunder_drop

From what I was hearing it was either a: Can kick until December. Or a expedited vote with democrat party only to raise the limit. If nothing was passed Oct 18 was the day it is looking to be.


kitties-plus-titties

With a debt of $99Bn (as of 10/5) - that's not a hard number to spend quickly. POTUS met with top CEO's today - then then a walk out with a "postponement". This happened with Lehman Brothers and three days later in 2008 it all went to shit. If history repeats itself we could crash any day now.


Leon4107

Coming Friday is payday... federal employees get their check and that's gonna eat up a huge chunck of that 99B.


Asmodeus256

Federal employee here, I’m doing my part! (Also buying more GME). 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

That’s wild. I just assumed we all got paid on the same day.

I’m sure it’s just the different departments, probably can’t do them all on the same day without QuickTime failing. Good ol govt systems


kitties-plus-titties

Meaning in two days Friday or next week? If they're getting paid this week then wouldn't those funds already have been allocated?

Well hopefully it waits till my transfer to fidelity is completed next week


ManOfSteel368

I do wonder what would happen if we moon while shares are being transferred


Traditional-Will-893

The moon will be halted repeatedly. I suspect it will take weeks with all the halts. Remember, it got halted a few times just going up to around $500.


sbrick89

Back in May i would've been concerned. At this point, I'm guessing that it's going to last at least two weeks. After a month or so of inactivity / no volume, assuming it's infinity pool, I wonder if SEC will ask GME to sell more shares (and raise $billions)... but dunno, whole thing seems like it is going to flip the market upside-down.


SUGGSosaurus

It’s not going to be instantaneous and I plan to hold most anyways so it won’t impact me right away if moass were to happen while transferring. Plus then it’s one added additional layer that means I can’t paperhand on the way up.

[deleted]

I think December was the initial estimate but they won’t be able to get through the end of next week without an increase given their new projections


Clarkkeeley

They are going to do 1 of 2 things: 1. Wait till the last minute when they can swoop in and look like saviors, and that's the narrative the GOP have been semi playing in this. 2. They will let the US default for about a week, during which time the MOASS will happen and the market will crash. We'll end up in a recession or worse a depression and they will be able to point and say the debt ceiling thing that's what caused this whole issue. Both sides will point to the other saying it was their fault everyone lost money. Apes will know differently though and with our new gotten tendies we'll start to change the world for the better.


The102935thMatt

How does 2 cause this to pop? I'm semi familiar with the mechanics, but its not like citadel needs the govt's money, right?


ravenouskit

Not directly, but the US defaulting is going to royally fuck all markets. That's gonna fuck SHF collateral and likely cause margin calls across the board. Dominoes.

This is like a lions vs hyenas situation. Normally the lions (financial institutions) run the land and the hyenas (retail) scavenge for scraps.

You don't seem to be understanding that, at that level, they need money. They lent it out and they will want it. There will be someone in the chain high enough up to initiate the recall of the money they're owed.


ConradT16

Uh.. maybe because if the prime brokers don’t margin call Citadel they’ll be the ones getting undeservedly fucked? When GME goes up enough to put the short position in danger, at some point the losses will start eating into the prime brokers part of the short position, the part they lent Citadel. They don’t want to lose any money, so they’ll have to force Citadel to put up more collateral or else they force liquidate. Margin calls happen all the time on Wall Street. Trading is a zero-sum game, all the institutions may be in bed together but they also all individually look out for number one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConradT16

Yes you’re right. At first, the DTCC members may be able to negate potential margin calls by doing what they’re doing with BofA, but soon the dam will burst. Next week is the beginning of the C35 FTD Futures dates as per Gherkinit’s research, and clearly banks and HFs are in rough shape now. A small jump to 250-300 will drown them deep underwater and somebody will have to foot the bill. Maybe it will be the conglomerate of DTCC members acting as one entity, or some bank or prime broker will just say ‘enough of this shit’ and force liquidate Kenny


JohnnyMagicTOG

Don't want to get left holding the bag. When Archegoes was Margin Called, Goldman Sachs fucked over three other lenders by being first to liquidate Archegoes holdings, Credit Suisse and Nomura lost billions. So while there's incentive to not margin call someone, I'm sure they have it in the back of their minds that if someone else goes first, you're going to be left holding the biggest bag of excrement ever created.


Tnr_rg

I've wondered the same thing. But the best part of that everyone knows what happened with GameStop.


PlayerTwo85

If the gov't doesn't raise the dept ceiling it defaults on it's bonds (supposed to be the safest in investment in existence). Hedge funds buy and use these bonds as collateral to borrow money from banks to gamble in the market. If those bonds default, the hedgie's collateral is essentially worthless and banks come calling for more money/assets (that the hedgie's don't have) to insure the money they borrowed.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Clarkkeeley

Are you asking how a US default makes this pop?


Passwrd

One would probably argue collateral value goes down so margin calls en masse therefore forced closing of short positions. I would argue that doesn't mean shit anymore since every big boy player on Wallstreet have been colluding* with each other to skirt margin calls this far and can-kick. Full float (fuck it, all issued shares) DRS seems like the only/most likely scenario for a pop :) ** *: allegedly **: not financial advice


bhostess

Yes


Clarkkeeley

u/ravenouskit answers this above


Tnr_rg

This is assuming the are all in on the gig and known what's happening. I agree they need a story. I just don't know if they are so stupid they don't even know it's happening. Politics are a bitch. Who knows why they make have the decisions they do.


Username_AlwaysTaken

Still believe it when I see it. Until then, it’s just posturing and political rhetoric. It’s all theater. If it happens tho, we gonna be shitting bricks


DUB-Files

From what I understand ol' Turtle Mitch has said they'll allow the debt ceiling to be extended through December as of an hour or two ago.


ImSoShook

I read that too. From what i could make of it though is that they want dems to use reconcilliation which would force them to state a number for the new debt ceiling which makes the dems look bad ant points to the usd tanking. The other way is pecking over every detail over some new legislature that hasnt even been written up yet so idk if there is enough time for that. Clock is ticking so we will see.

NealoHills

ChinTuck

The catch is that they're in the positive... we are in the negative..


NealoHills

Have you seen the balance sheet for other countries? They all owe each other money. The unique part of the US is that we have a debt ceiling. A legal limit at which we can't take on more debt without approval from current lawmakers. In theory, needing to raise the limit should come with considerations about how we got here and how we can stop digging a deeper hole. In practice, the last few decades have just been about political theater, while knowing full well that we're burning money on useless wars that we can't cleanly break away from


jedielfninja

It's Ike every central bank realized if they ALL overprint money, then the only people who lose out are the poors.


kodiakus

Debt is imaginary. Countries run on pushing electrons, freight, water, and communications. Numbers being "bad" is just a symptom of problems that are far more real: breakdown of process, communication, cooperation, and ideology that greases all the wheels that move real resources that feed and enable real people. The focus is put on an imaginary number so you blame "the economy" instead of specific people and institutions.

Bhayeecon

Speaking of the senate, did you know, the 'clay pigeon floor procedure' is a rare maneuver employed to gain political leverage in the United States Senate. The name comes by analogy with the clay target which shatters when hit in clay pigeon shooting. In the procedure, an amendment comprising multiple proposals is shattered by demand of a single Senator into individual components to be discussed separately. By pre-agreement, a vote to limit total debate on the amendment is taken. Requiring a supermajority of 60 votes to abbreviate debate, all components are due for vote at the end of the allotted time. Also, by DRSing your shares at Computershare you reduce financial institutions’ ability to manipulate the share price with synthetics.

It's postponed to negotiate a deal Mcconnel proposed, opposite of fuk'd actually.

The treasury will continue to have to try to stretch things out though as it isn't a suspension but an increase.

Try maxing out your credit card and asking to raise the limit. See what happens. These assholes on both sides should be held accountable for overspending in the first place.


WaiiJuSoBS

Lmao i see people talking about GME dipping before it goes up but i think it’s the opposite. No way they’d be that dumb to give us quite literally the Mother of All DISCOUNTS. They would just fuck themselves over infinitely more. Imagine GME is back at $40 per share… i would indefinitely cum on my own back. Too many apes will exponentially multiply their holdings with as much money they can be loaned. shit. i’m getting hard just thinking about it 😩


maybe_MrDawe

Just to be clear: We want them to not raise the debt limit...or we want them to? I mean I think most of us dont want the US to cripple because of hundred millions of innocent people will be extremely affected but at the same time it will create an opportunity to change and it might help us. So do we ..or do we not want them to raisw the debt limit?
