Coinbase responds to the SEC’s Wells notice | Full video

 https://youtu.be/zq2jf4sBdYE

*The SEC has been, in the past, "flip-floppy" in enforcement of what rules apply to whom; and depending on political whim. Be careful in this space. Maybe your public listing of Coinbase stock was the nail they needed to bring the platform down?

How ‘Junk’ Fees Secretly Invaded The U.S. Economy (And How Pres. Biden Wants To Stop Them)

 https://youtu.be/0onrjSE7Ntw

*Accounting consolidation is important; but marketing department does not like to compete with price competition. More junk fees can obfuscate the billing and receipt system therefore making the marketing department's advertisements look more effective. More buyers for the initial boost (like a caffeine high for business revenue.) Junk fees can also be a short term business tactic to boost market share temporarily (as consumers discover there is a different brand) but I do wonder (as probably negatively) the buyer will have about the seller in such tactics. 

 I am a proponent with upfront full disclosures (especially in retail and written contracts.) Junk fees are a nuisance and complicated to enforce as related to expectations and assumptions buyers make about the product or service. 

 Junk fees can also be a "hidden tax" for the sake of law enforcement to collect more than what their state/federal government budgeted for. ("This is a shakedown to ignore the thing that happened last time.") 

I am a proponent for some the real estate fees like title insurance because of real estate fraud is real (especially post closing.) 

Overall , junk fees expose demand expectations and can be used to bully competition between sellers, and have a negative side effect of graying out the up front advertised pricing.

America’s Economic Empire Is Done

https://youtu.be/tKpVW3DLYZk

*The United States has been targeted by a group to prop it up then crash it; for the sake of making sure human rights are thrown away. [Empire of what? money or oil? America is a net exporter of oil with more EPA regulations on the way. What do you think will happen??? I think it is a raid and a sell out to wealthy multinationals getting the win while democracy/republic/America gets the loss.] 

Banking Crisis Goes Beyond First Republic: Michele

 https://youtu.be/s0zZkuuJ5fY

*The banking crisis goes towards net change of interest rates and bank investments of bonds/loans. The idea to keep rates flat for a few months or quarters to see what is happening in the economy is important to measure what is happening. Keep in mind CPI has been cooling off, so I would guess that 2024 would be a lower rates a little bit year; although, it is only a guess depending upon how vulnerable banks are to federal bond default risk (political risk of congress.,)

BOMBSHELL! French President Says France Is Done “Following” The United States

 https://youtu.be/tyiS0sZh9Mo

*Lower prices or more "growth" for less rights? Is that the ultimatum that the controlling lenders of the world want? Europe rejecting American hegemony is just one of many plays to make democracy or republic fail for the sake of a (global and/or political) argument to dismantle our western government style. 

Rights have a price do not displace rights for "lower prices" or gross domestic product. (its "gross" for a reason)

The Two Big Economics Lies You Still Believe | Economics Explained

https://youtu.be/zOYLiTj4vag

*how "cheap" are new roadways (or public goods/service) to the point that "induced demand" is comparable to a Giffen good (or service)? Maybe such growth in demand is a tragedy of the commons (traffic jam., etc... ) I guess this is related to economies of scale or average total cost of using a public good or service versus a private good or service (I would rather pay taxes so a governing body to build the best possible road network than to buy land and pay for a street to commute to work or shopping (and that no one else can use it.)
So, a better solution is tolls for a price per mile per usage? "voluntary" taxes per usage rather than must pay a tax even you did not use that road? There are pros and cons. I guess everyone uses the road even if they have not used a road per the services allowed by having a road (toll or no toll.)
Instead of roads, think of banks and central banks and how dependent they are to centralized authority and the current issue of debt to GDP ratios debt/default debate in Washington DC right now. A tragedy of the commons per a default?

*Regulatory guidance of crypto will need to come from congress.
SEC's plan is related to the late platform prosper.com (2005-2011) and that was using USD for peer to peer loans marketplace utilizing myspace and facebook (example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJx_k2iHkNY ). propser.com was then prosecuted into settlement and cease and desist.
Crypto is worse because it mixes foreign exchange processes and currency into one product; something that is fungible enough to evade some kind of regulation until now.
Have you seen the wolf of wall street? it is a matter of time. But this time, SEC will anger many more voters than it realizes.

Is Russia flying American Confederate Flags?

 https://youtube.com/shorts/ymduN6XcYUI?feature=share

*Is this a confirmation of Russian meddling in Ukraine Donetsk and Luhansk affairs? Naval ensign used as a flag for separatist forces in Ukraine means that it is possible that 2014 Ukraine and western powers were trying to defend from insurrection in the region defecting to Russia. This should make good western propaganda if used...?
