@troed @patigallardo.bsky.social Jesus! Bash has gotten a lot more complicated (powerful?) since I was young! 😎

@ChrisMayLA6 This is the truth! We must remember Enron, as an example, I do not think they had the lowest credit rating.

@ChrisMayLA6 That would be an interesting discovery! That, perhaps, absent government support, there might be an informal kind of study circle education going on!

@ChrisMayLA6 Ahh, but here we must make an important distinction... the laws, which have been abused, are the laws of the government, so ultimately the government bears the responsibility here. Absent those, it is what's in the contract between lender and borrower that governs what happens.

Besides... there are credit rating companies which help with this, but, note that no matter the credit rating or the law, if the government just refuses to pay, that's it. Not much can be done about it.

@ChrisMayLA6 That's a shame. The idea, in principle, is good. It's a decentralized way of educating yourself, that sits to the side of the formal educational system. I like it! Sad that, as always, good ideas are so easily exploited by criminals.

@ammarfaizi2 Crushing it!

@GossiTheDog Please... it is a "Special Military Operation".

I think he learned the trick from Putin! 😎

@ChrisMayLA6 Well, I have to agree. I'd rather not lend out money to socialists and communists because there would be a high risk of never seeing the money again.

Lending out money to capitalists and people on the financial right is associated with less risk, because they depend on their financial reputation for their credibility.

Communists just shrug and blame the "capitalist pigs" when not returning borrowed money.

@ChrisMayLA6 Regulation? If anything, the politicians globally, are racing to regulate obligatory surveillance into being, everywhere and at all times. They are actually helping Palantir and american IT giants to earn more money off the european tax payer.

@lain Either you are a powerful man, or that was a small company.

@ChrisMayLA6 I see. Well, maybe the time for them is past. In sweden, they have been abused recently by crime gangs and extremist moslems to extract money from the government under hte disguise of learning.

@ChrisMayLA6 Do you have the concept of study circles in the UK to increase the general level of education among the population?
