Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

So.. what happens when the credit market tightens? Extremely leveraged companies go bankrupt and can't pay lenders. But now it's not banks that are lending, it's Private Equity. Blackstone. They get pensions to invest, then do leveraged buyouts using a shit ton of leverage. Meaning they don't even possess the money they are using to buy out companies, they just say they will have the money eventually.
Remember Enron? Ask chatgpt or copilot to compare and contrast Enron with Blackstone and you will see some very concerning similarities. They keep liabilities off the books so they don't show how exposed they are. But tarrifs and this Moody's downgrade are going to trigger another collapse like 2008 only this time it's not the banks that taxpayers will bail out it's PE and the pensions that invested in them
The machine sycophant can't answer any question honestly
