Shouldn't you at least include the reason?

I can't think of a reason why I would give a fuck.

I don't do Huffington's POS site.

it's because of the sort of anti-social behaviours that surge in times of trouble. Scapegoating, attacks on immigrants, gays, the 'intelligentsia', surging nationalism. A good part of why Hitler rose to power was an economy in the toilet. Grabbing land was a way to bring in the bucks. Given that Putin is already in power, well-liked at home, and prone to wanting to carve off pieces of nearby countries, this could give him the excuse to go for more.

Looks like the sort of situation that calls for a short, victorious war to take minds off the home front troubles.

in which there was a provision that bank's gambling losses would be covered by FDIC.
In other words, there would be no losses for gambles.
Consider that banks have made millions of loans to the fracking industry, which is now facing loss of any profits due to low price of oil.

Consider that many pension funds are invested in the debts that the banks make, and if the loans go south, so do pensions, and city and state bonds that have been sold.

Consider that when a huge economy like Russia falls down and goes boom, the ripple effects result in job losses in Europe and in the USA.

Russia has not diversified its economy much and it's economic health is still dependent on factors outside of its control like the international price of the natural resources that it sells. Not only is Russia "too big to fail", it a "too big to fail" entity that is armed with nuclear weapons. Even CitiBank did not have nuclear weapons.

It IS big enough to drag down Europe and even a lot of the US when it does fail.
Ukraine will be trashed, but it was getting trashed anyhow.
I am saying that we now have a global economy, which results in ever present chance of contagion when other countries hiccup, much less trip and fall.
Putin is gonna have a lot on his plate for some time now.

the definition of "too big to fail" applied by some to large financial institutions and the effect that their failure posed to th US economy.

The banks are planning on a "bail IN".
The head of the Europe Central Bank and the head of Central banks here both were in the news for saying
"Good news..there will be no more taxpayer bailouts".
Which is true, kinda sorta.

What they are planning is that if a bank goes bust, it will use shareholder's and depositor's money to try to fix the problem.
What they will do is the same as they did in Greece...spin off a "bad" bank that owes all the debt, and keep the "good bank" that has
all the money.

20 some years ago, the huge power company in Cal. went bust, and divided itself into 2 entities, just as I have described.
You wanted some money they owed you, you had to go to the "bad" company. Which of course declared bankruptcy.

General Motors did the same thing after 2008.

so, no matter what they call it, the big banks will get their money and/or be bailed out by a over compliant FDIC, which is what the Sat. passage of the Budget bill in Congress guarantees.
And with the continuing collapse of oil prices, looks like the timing was perfect for the banks.
Naturally.

what the hell can I do about it?

Which hit a new low of 33 to the dollar.

Better stock up on popcorn.

Better stock up on more than popcorn.

Both in 1 post!!
