Seriously read Basic Economics

Not enough % return on risk and the company cancels their service and consumers have to go to loan sharks or get even more desperate and ready to do whatever they need to to survive

Nextgrid•7h ago
Going to a loan shark is a significant increase in effort comparing to just using the credit card you've already got.

Sure, some people will, but a lot of people will just cut back discretionary spending as a result, which I think is a very good thing.

> or get even more desperate

That's because, to him, "Make America Great Again" == "Make America resemble 1880 as closely as possible".

Peak Gilded Age. Gold-plated lavatories with countless hungry, desperate, and poor to keep them tidy, build bridges, make babies, toil, and die.

Trumpi•6h ago
In Trump's original post, he is "calling for" the rate cap, which I interpret differently to "mandating" a rate cap. The Guardian article seems to think that the executive has no authority to compel banks to comply, and this might well be the reason he is merely "calling for" this rate cap.

And if this is the correct interpretation, then this was communicated in a very confusing way.

Wow, this is great! It's frankly wonderful we have a president we trust with these decisions. Can you imagine the congressional hearings that a move like this from any of the other presidents we've had since 1988? Media would have freaked out, markets tumbled. There would have been impeachment rumors. But now? We get "just the facts" reporting, and it just happens. No hearings, no media frenzy, market soars.
