Новая гениальная идея Трампа - ограничить ставки процента по кредиткам до 10%. Это очень популистская идея, особенно к выборам, но с экономической точки зрения это очень хуевая идея. Вот почему:

Сейчас ставки по кредитам у кредитных карт где-то в районе 25%. Это кажется полным грабежом, но если посмотреть на общую картину, то вырисовывается вот что: номинальный возврат на капитал у кредитных компаний - в районе 7% (ну, пару процентов туда-сюда, но в целом так). Если вы не помните, то доход по 10-летним казначейским облигациям - 4%. Т.е. за весь свой риск и за поддержку всей этой махины кредитные компании имеют где-то 3% прибыли плюс к ситуации, если бы они вообще ни хрена не делали, а просто покупали казначейские облигации. Конечно, 3% с оборота в триллионы долларов - это тоже неплохо, на хлеб с маслом хватит. Но откуда эти 3% берутся?

Как говорит нам дядя Фед, на 80% из процентов за кредиты, ещё на 15% - из всяких пеней, штрафов и поборов. Т.е. если урезать процентную ставку в 2.5 раза, то вся эта лавочка провалится глубоко в минус. А в минус никто работать не будет, поэтому если Трампу каким-то чудом удастся провести свой план в жизнь, то произойдёт следующее:

1. Людям с херовым кредитом просто перестанут давать карточки. Вообще. Сейчас процент по личной ссуде без залога - где-то 7-8%, но для того, чтобы её получить, надо предьявлять кучу документов, что у вас есть работа, дом и всё такое, чтобы в случае чего можно было вам предьявить. Если всё это отсутствует, то ставки на кредит становятся совсем другие, и ощутимо выше 10%. Если это запретить, то ссуды - или же доступ к кредиту - тем, чей риск дефолта больше 10%, просто не дадут. Т.е. да, прогнозы икспердов, что это сэкономит лохам кучу денег, в чисто техническом смысле могут быть верными - ведь если лох не получит ссуды, то ему и проценты платить не надо. Но, сдаётся мне, это не совсем та экономия, на которую лох рассчитывал. 

2. Основным расходом кредитных компаний являются призы. Все эти мили, кэшбеки, "открой карточку и получи бесплатный полёт в Европу", вся эта здоровенная и цветущаю индустрия заманухи. Как ни странно, чтобы дать вам $300, если вы откроете карточку - кредитной компании придётся потратить ровно $300, они их не печатают, это чистый расход (мили немного дешевле, но тоже небесплатны). Если доходы от процентов срубить, всё это пойдёт по пизде. Нет, для карт с годовой платой в тыщу в год, может, всё и останется, там другой расклад немного, и то же для бизнес-карт, где ожидаемый оборот в десятки тысяч в месяц. Но для простых коротышек, вроде нас с вами, лавочка закроется.

3. Заодно прилетит всяческим инфлюенсерам и блогерам - если сегмент, который надо привлекать к пользованию картами, сокращается, то нет смысла и тратить так много на рекламу и маркетинг. В хороших, жирных клиентах, конечно, по прежнему будет нужда, но в массовом потоке без фильтрации - которой только и могут обеспечить инфлюэнсеры - нужды будет гораздо меньше. Соответственно и многие из них неожиданно окажутся на морозе.

4. Кредитные компании вполне могут легализовать дополнительные поборы за транзакцию. Конечно, простейший способ - переложить это на продавцов, и поскольку это сделают все хором - ограничения-то одни на всех - то продавцам некуда будет деваться, да и регуляторам особо нечего будет сказать. Мелкие лавки просто перестанут принимать кредитки, а крупные - поднимут цены соответственно. В результате те самые сэкономленные деньги вернутся именно с тех, кто тратит большую часть своего дохода на товары немедленного потребления - то есть тех самых, кого планировалось облагодетельствовать.

Держался до последнего, ещё вчера был на стриме. Говорить ему было тяжело, поэтому последние несколько дней он вёл его в режиме онлайн-тусовки с несколькими фанатами, чтобы говорили в основном они. Сегодня его бывшая жена опубликовала ролик:

В течение многих лет он каждый день радовал тысячи людей своим "Дилбертом"; очень многим людям помог по-новому осмыслить жизнь своими книгами. Иными словами, это был состоявшийся человек, оказавший много положительного влияния. Я слушал его подкаст почти каждый день, и это почти всегда было интересно.

Он верил, что мы живём в компьютерной симуляции. Что ж, если так, желаю ему успешного восстановления резервной копии в какой-нибудь лучшей среде; если же нет, то света или покоя, смотря что заслужил.

1. The Minnesota child care fraud saga is so strange because years ago it was fully investigated, documented, and reported on by a team of state investigators set up to catch and stop child care fraud. They spent years gathering evidence including many hours of surveillance footage. In 2018 they compiled a detailed report and delivered it to their boss, the DHS Inspector General.
Directly from the report: "Investigators, as well as the Supervisor and Manager of this unit believe that the overall fraud rate in this program is at least 50% of the $217M paid to child care centers in CY2017."
And nothing happened. No, I'm wrong - they spent even more taxpayer money on covering the fraud up and extending it. It's not the case where they didn't know. Everybody knew. They did it on purpose.

2. FireAid Funneled Cash to Podcasters, Illegals and Fungus Planting
Last September, The New York Post revealed that of the $100 million raised by musicians such as Joni Mitchell, Lady Gaga, John Mayer, Billie Joe Armstrong and more, some of the funds went to nonprofits with very little connection to fire safety or reparations.

3. Today the House Judiciary Committee released the report I requested on the LA FireAid concert. Among the findings:
-FireAid funds were used for activities such as voter participation initiatives, podcast programming, fungus-planting projects, and compensation for nonprofit staff.
-Approximately $550,000 in donations went to organizations involved in political advocacy.
-At least $250,000 was directed toward programs benefiting undocumented immigrants.
-$100,000 in FireAid donations was paid to podcasters.
-More than $500,000 was used to cover salaries, bonuses, and consultant fees for nonprofit organizations.

4. Nick Shirley exposes there are 1,200 medical transport companies in Minnesota. For a year, photos with timestamps were taken of the vans that are supposed to be used by these companies. NONE MOVED IN A YEAR. They sit parked, but are getting paid to transport patients.

The biggest story of last year, and probably the biggest story of the coming year, is the widespread discovery of the fact that we have never been more accountable to government, which can see into our lives with unprecedented clarity and monitor our utterances to the word, while it has never been less accountable to us.
That's the whole point. You owe everything and own nothing, they own everything and owe you nothing.

13. Mamdani Taps Prep School Socialists for Senior Press Roles
Just what New-Yorkers voted for - limousine commies are going to run it into the ground.

14. UCSD's remedial math course is too advanced for nearly 10% of incoming freshmen, who can't even do middle school math -- like, anything above arithmetic with fractions.

21. New ICE agent POV video shows Renee Good's wife taunting ICE officers before car rams into him
It's clear why they were there - to attack ICE officers. They thought it would be safe and fun. It wasn't.

22. Look at the training “MN Ice Watch” (which Renee Good belonged to) gives: They train activists to assault law enforcement, to swarm, pressure, and open their car doors. And they say each “de-arrest” is a “micro-intifada.” Do with that what you will.
"Intifada" means murdering people. They are all for it. 

23. Video showing liberals being trained to fight with federal agents and ICE at a North Carolina church is resurfacing, with viewers demanding a crack down on organizations funding and encouraging radicalization.
I bet they are also funded by a NGO that gets the money from taxpayers.

Внеочередной выпуск, посвящённый раскрытию очередного скандала с воровством миллиардов. Вы, кстати, замечаете, насколько безумна сама постановка вопроса - очередной скандал с воровством миллиардов? Давайте ещё заметим, что про подобное воровство известно давно - и они происходит практически везде, и практически в любой государственной программе. Сейчас просто об этом почему-то заговорили, но воруют постоянно, в совершенно остоебенительных размерах, и разумеется, не только сомалийцы. И если сомалийцев выгнать - чего, конечно, никто не сделает, но представим себе - то изменяться фамилии ворующих, но не размер и наглость воровства. 

1. Somali fraud is being exposed all over the country.

2. Attorney Mehek Cooke says massive fraud is taking place in Ohio: She says fraudulent Somalian healthcare companies are being created charging as much as $250,000 per family per year FOR DOING NOTHING, it’s all fraudulent

3. WA Somali-run daycare took $210,000 in taxpayer funds in 2025 but no childcare business appears to exist: report

4. Journalists in Washington state are now visiting addresses operating as Somali “daycares” that are receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds, only to find private $500,000 homes at the locations with no sign of daycare operations.

5. The Massive Fraud Scandal No One Is Talking About
California has given out at least 70 billions to fraudsters, likely much more.

6. Somalia’s Ambassador to the UN Abukar Dahir Osman was a healthcare administrator in Ohio. There is another healthcare company in the SAME SUITE as his with a different name, and multiple others at the same address, all with Somali names

7. It has been revealed a whistleblower inside Minnesota’s DHS, Scott Stillman, uncovered the Somalian daycare fraud network in 2018, accurately citing figures of 100 million in fraud and stating that Al Shabaab was being funded with it, but Tim Walz did nothing.

8. Manager at Minnesota childcare center reports break-in and missing “important documentation” but Minneapolis police say nothing was stolen. Initial reports from management at a Minneapolis childcare center suggested that sensitive documents including payroll and client files were stolen during an overnight break-in. However, Minneapolis police later confirmed that their official report showed nothing was taken from the office or the facility.
Begun, the coverup has.

9. Minnesota-funded daycare businesses donated to Washington candidate who threatened to blow up school bus filled with children
Well that makes sense. They don't need real children around, it's not what their business is.

10. Tim Walz bragged about child care business in Minnesota during VP debate before $9B Somali fraud scandal came to light
And he doesn't regret a thing. It's not his money that get stolen.

11. MN Department of Children commissioner Tikki Brown claims the Quality Learing Center closed down last week, which explains why there were no children when Nick Shirley visited. Today, however, the Quality Learing Center was packed with kids. The New York Post reports the children were "trucked" in, with one local saying it was the first time they had seen kids go into the building.
Ложь правых конспирологов разоблачена дважды - центр давно закрыт, и также принимает детей прямо сейчас! Вскоре выяснится, что его вообще никогда не было, и одновременно каждый сомалиец в нём учился многие годы.

12. Dem lawmaker moves to conceal WA state daycare provider info amid Somali fraud allegations
Это реакция демократов - прежде всего замести следы.

13. Washington State AG Warns Citizen Journalists To Stop Investigating Somali Daycares Or Face Potential Hate Crime Charges
As usual, Democrats are on the criminals' side in every situation.

14. Former TSA Agent Exposes Somali Fraud in Real Time at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport
They were literally carrying out suitcases packed with cash, for years. Everybody knew.

15. Totally unscripted random member of the public reads from the paper, gets to "fraud is bad", realized what she said, totally shuts down and runs away.
Nothing weird here. When I say everybody knew, I mean everybody knew.

16. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's office on potential fraud at childcare centers in Columbus-- which has the second highest Somali population in America: "This is something that is unfortunately the cost of doing business."
What the actual FUCK? That's a Republican governor that is saying the taxpayers "yeah. there's billion sized fraud I am presiding on, just keep paying, nothing to be done about it"! How the fuck you can claim you have "robust anti-fraud measures" if fraud is going on for decades and you have not stopped it? Why the fuck we need "Republicans" like that at all?

17. HUD just found $5 BILLION+ in FRAUDULENT payments in 2024 alone, under Biden. Payment error of over 11% PERCENT.
Every single welfare program has billions stolen, all the time.

18. Hundreds (thousands?) of Somalis will not be charged in the Feeding Our Fraud scandal simply because the government doesn’t have the resources to prosecute.
Curious how the question of having the resources never arises when billions are sent out to scammers.

19. It is starting to really look like our new President of the United Nations Security Council, Abukar Dahir Osman, used to run an operation that was convicted of criminal Medicare fraud in a home health agency. That's who is in charge of authorizing UN military operations and international peacekeeping troops. This is ridiculous.

20. DataRepublican's reply highlights that NPI 1790912178, linked to Abukar Dahir Osman's Ohio-based Progressive Health Care Services, is listed on the U.S. OIG's LEIE, barring it from federal programs like Medicare due to fraud convictions.
He is so bad even current leaky system marked him as "known fraudster, never finance". So he went to work in the planetary nexus of all fraud - the UN.
