Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.

I'm sorry to hear this. I was hoping for better news this morning.
I'm ok with the fascism, reduction of our rights, human trafficking, pedophilia, rape, forced deportations, economic wars against our allies, bombing of civilians, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and bigotry against anyone that is not a cis het white man, but I draw a line at an American President cursing on Easter Sunday.
The U.S. president wrote early Sunday morning on Truth Social that Tuesday would be “Power Plant Day” and “Bridge Day” for American forces selecting targets in the region, adding: “Open the Fin’ Strait, you crazy b**ds, or you’ll be living in Hell.”
“Praise be to Allah,” Trump concluded his first Easter Morning statement to Americans.
What a desperate asshole.
Pretty much confirmation he has absolutely no cards when it comes to opening the strait but threatening war crimes.
His buddies already sold stocks so the crash can happen while the markets are closed for Easter and they can buy the dip Monday before he says he pulling out in 3 days again. I see no approaching reason why this will ever end.
Wellz the more he does it, the more he's burning allies and the more gas prices suffer, which is what destroys American politicians more than any other silly little crimes like rape, paedophilia or genocide.
If he plays too hard and loose, people might get angry enough that they face consequences. So far no indication of that happening.
Most of the large ai companies are still privately held by the wealthy. If he pops the bubble before they have a chance to leave retail investors holding the bag, then he might face consequences.
Corporate lending has already been moved to small investors and retirees. Since that is harder to liquidate and play with like stocks.
The little guys are already holding the bag.
Sorry, do you mean small investors are lending to companies? Through financial products? That are highly exposed to ai?Or any bubbble? I don’t know that I’ve seen this reported. What are you referring to?
Private credit has been increasingly moving from something only hedge funds invested in, to retail investors and retirement funds. Like $3 trillion dollars worth. And it’s withdrawals are restricted by the banks, often to like 25% per year I think.

I've seen some of what you're talking about, but it's all seemed to be large finds and large investors. The link you sent is a show not an article. Do you have anything else. Not available in my area.
All articles I've seen, it doesn't seem to be mom and pop investors but certainly it is being packaged more, which could attract retail investors. Things like pension funds, od expect them to invest in a broad range of more complex assets. So that's not really concerning unless they are over invested.
I only encountered it as a podcast while working, but it’sa respected public radio show, and the story included an individual whose financial advisor had recommended private lending as stable long term returns.
But then a new advisor worried he was over invested in them, and that default risk isn’t disclosed, in fact it was often hard to tell which companies are getting loans from your investment. It all sounded very much like the housing bubble or savings and loans bubble from before that.
We are in World War 3, and it is accelerating.
Isn't that what he's been doing already?
