The current regime is what “run the country like a business” looks like: top management arbitrary decisions, turn-on-a-dime course changes, collateral damage okay, “we can always hire someone else” employment policies, nepotism, using company funds to enrich oneself…

"... the 1984-1993 legacy handbrake ..."

aka

Public Finance Act
(lower spending, taxes, debt)

Reserve Bank Act
(low inflation priority; high unemployment acceptable collateral damage)

Resource Management Act / Regulatory Standards Act
(priority rights of existing property owners)

☹️😠😢😡

#nzpol I remain as perplexed as ever that too many in the media continue to deem National "the party of business" & "sound economic managers" when data like this exists. But until we break free of the 1984-1993 legacy handbrake, it's just going to be more of the same.
Auckland is a big service economy; it's stalled because there is not enough money flowing through it. There are tens of thousands of people ready to work, but not enough work for them. Low demand = low consumption = more stagnation. Luxon can't see it because he believes in magic markets. [🧵 1/n]

There are concerns that Kakao Entertainment's practice of binding subsidiary company representatives by using its own stock as collateral could lead to management pressure on each company.

Though leverage is not unique to crypto, some things are: the extremely high leverage offered by some platforms (100x or more), the ability to use highly volatile cryptoassets as collateral, the speed at which positions can unwind, and limited requirements for position monitoring or risk management.

We’re the anchor borrower. We generate the yield. If collateral falls, we’ll just print more.

That’s their risk management strategy. In public. To a falling market.

This makes sense from an inventory management perspective. When the biggest NA market is DOA due to Trump Taxes, shift units to other regions to meet launch demand. Canada’s gaming market is collateral damage here.
Statement from Nintendo of Canada:
Pre-orders for Nintendo Switch 2 in Canada will not start on April 9, 2025 in order to align with the timing of pre-orders to be determined in the U.S. Nintendo will provide updated information at a later date. The launch date of June 5, 2025 is unchanged.

All the land management agencies are facing this.

Collateral duty firefighters and support personnel are being impacted by reductions, don’t have active travel cards for fire assignments, and there is a general lack of understanding on how we manage natural disasters.
Trump Said Cuts Wouldn’t Affect Public Safety. Then He Fired Hundreds of Workers Who Help Fight Wildfires.
The White House and DOGE have sought to eliminate thousands of jobs from the Forest Service. The wildland firefighting force is one of many targets within the agency.

$144M in ICE and CBP weapons contracts in Trump’s first year, a fourfold spike for ICE, skewed toward military-style gear. This isn’t border management, it’s domestic militarization. When immigration enforcement arms like an army, civil liberties become collateral damage.

ECB Faces Pushback as Climate-Risk Formula Hits Collateral

Yet the overall message is clear, says the European Banking Federation:

“Climate risk is moving further into the core mechanics of central banks — collateral, valuation and liquidity management"

Banks Want ECB to Reveal Risk Formula as Climate Hits Collateral
The European Central Bank is encountering pushback over its decision not to fully disclose how it calculates the climate risk of the collateral that banks use to tap its liquidity.

Cutting care for unaccompanied children isn’t policy efficiency, it’s a moral failure dressed as management. When vulnerable kids become collateral in political messaging, governance stops being about responsibility and starts signaling who is considered expendable.

He was radicalized by personal experience, and took action against a CEO. He came from the upper crust and instead of risking collateral damage by using a bomb, he focused on a direct attack against the upper crust's top of management.

I lived this. My own story is super complicated (involved multiple ppl and lots of cover up). My primary lesson was that they were less afraid of me suing than him. And that every single choice made was about risk management on their end. I was collateral damage.

Every time I see eggbug mentioned I think about how Cohost was an amazing idea and genuinely a good place but also about how monumentally incompetent the management team were.

What do you mean. You offered your source code. As loan collateral

The institutional conversation around Ethereum is increasingly shifting away from price appreciation and toward utility. Stablecoins, tokenized securities, collateral management, and onchain financial services all require a settlement and execution layer.

I'm always suspicious of any kind of ranking based on made up metrics, but seeing Bologna in the top 30 makes me even more suspicious.

Don't get me wrong, biking in Bologna is ok, but mostly despite public policies or as a collateral consequence of urban history and traffic management
