It's a broad statement given how redditors are making pretty wild leaps of judgement based on no facts.

I'm really not sure what the regulatory job has to do with SVB going under, when SVB went under because of a bank run that had nothing to do with the job posting at all. This is like if an apartment complex burns down due to arson, and people point to an open plumber position as the smoking gun

What? Unless I missed something, there was nothing to hide, the entire finance industry knew basically all of SVB's deposits were uninsured and just underestimated systemic risk.

Don't want to take a shot at you but do you have experience in the finance industry? Its posts like this along with the weird political bent that makes me wonder how much of reddit just a weird witch hunt.

I don't want to sound mean but do you know the reasons by SVB went under in the first place? It wasn't fraud or a lack of controls, it just sheer incompetence on behalf of management.

FR, do those fuckers not realize a small/personal pizza basically is palm sized at this point?

Dude, Adams is already going around telling refugees that nyc is full and shipping them to Canada. You think he gives a fuck about masks?

Look at it this way, at least you're better off than Billy "fuckface" Ripken

You can in the third world for sure but this is something US actually puts into trade agreements and sues for in the WTO.

No, but there's also nothing stopping you for mimicking the same conditions, or just importing the goods. Like Napa Valley wine is quality because of the grapes. The barreling and fermentation can be done anywhere since its imported wood, fermented in a sterile environment.

There's probably a bit of a difference in the hops and such but you can make whiskey that tastes mighty close to bourbon. At the end of the day is a trademark thing that ensures income more than naything else.

I read what you wrote, have you heard of the moron in a hurry benchmark? I.e. that not everyone will read the labels for stuff and will go buy off oflook/picture alone? It's an actual legal test.

But lets be real, all these things are just cynical ploys for more money. I'm sure the Swiss would totally be ok with Toblerone using that mountain outline if they came to a licensing arrangement or something.

It's a similar idea. If you're going to invoke a country/cultural craft (here its swiss chocolate being high quality), then you should pay up. No free riders!

It is, but that's laws for you man. Swiss don't want no free riders, and you can argue Swiss Chocolate is a cultural brand in and of itself so the country has incentive to protect the integrity of it.

Matters a lot for protecting income. I think bourbon is only allowed to be called that if it's made in the US for example, so thus all the bourbon money goes to the us

Ah, wasn't my intention to sound cynical. Loneliness sucks and hostess bars are popular for a reason. Just don't overcomit to what may be a superficial relationship

Depends on the country, think of it like securing repeat customers if they're not creeps. Good on OP though, sounds like a good night

Gatekeepers are everywhere man. Shit we even have terfs - aka women gatekeeping their own oppression

You think they'd just say that

Not a dig at her but I'm kinda curious what shit went down for the entire rest of the squad to quit

You can get away with looking extremely close to a cop and driving essentially a cop car depending on the law. Look up Jeremy Dewitte. He's never been convicted of impersonation because of the laws and even got a cop fired over the accusation.

No viable peace is going to hold until Israel settles on formal boundaries that they won't violate. Hamas gets a lot of support because they can just point to the illegal Israeli settlement over yonder and tell you with 100% certainty that your house is gonna be on the next expansion list

Yeah that one.

Are you Vegan by any chance? I passed around a few free bags at work/friends and the only person who thought it wasn't bad was my Vegan friend who also incidentally basically just eats dressing-less salad all day.

Shits fucking vile. That's why. They had a bunch at NYC street fairs and they couldn't even give them away

Not even that. Weren't there a bunch of public housing fires where the entire building just went up in flames due to them being built with flammable material?

Depends on where you live but for example, people living in SF absolutely will put restaurants on blast for not being eco friendly.
