surprised it took this long, surprised the shock on the charts isn’t bigger around the world.

My best guess is that the almost two years of can kicking this conclusion was enough for most larger investors to reposition so the bag holders are now, once again, regular people.

Only difference being that it is a large amount of Chinese citizens getting fudged, rather than US or EU citizens.

superphly ,

So you’re complaining that “regular people” are too stupid to move out of their positions? What the hell kinda free market do you think this is?

PostingInPublic ,

They cannot move out of their position in China, because they paid in advance for an apartment they are not going to get. They are truly fucked over there. Evergrande is a pyramid scheme, using real estate.

Evergrande is a pyramid scheme, using real estate.

Their whole property market is an investment pyramid scheme hidden underneath a shell game being played by their financial market. The whole mess being overseen by a group of referees so incompetent or corrupt that even after years of attempts the problem has only gotten worse.

I mean... gestures towards the surroundings We've got a pretty large pile of "Oh shit, we're fucked" stacked up here already. I guess add it to the pile?

Good. I’m surprised that all governments havn’t banned this chinese spyware.

At some point we will just have to burn all the religious text and be done with it.

MaxHardwood ,

Burn every science book and eventually they’ll be exactly rewritten. Burn every religious story and they’re gone forever.

I’m sure there are plenty of theories or there, but to be fair, this guy has been redlining his nerves for a week straight. He probably feels guilty.af for his department dropping the ball and probably hasn’t slept more than a few hours.

Sometimes we do our best and have to walk away. Not fun for anyone involved.

Mouselemming , in Woman sentenced to nearly 22 years in prison for trying to mail Trump ricin

She deserves it, what a maroon!

Imagine thinking Donald Trump opens and reads his own mail! He has people who Cat-in-the-Hat those hard words for him.

Idiocy like that is too dangerous to be on the streets.

HiddenLayer5 , (edited )

Yeah seriously. I straight up think Trump deserves the death penalty, but doing this is psychopathy, nothing more. It will only kill some random mail handling clerk trying to scrape enough to feed their family, not anyone remotely involved with the fascism you claim to be against.

kyden , in 'Hell on wheels': Teen convicted of crashing car at 100 mph, killing boyfriend and friend
@kyden@l.cackl.io avatar

I am truly sorry for the passengers. Lost life because of teenage perceived hardship is tragic.

From a different perspective, it seems incredibly impressive that anyone survived a deliberate head on collision with a brick wall (that appears to have barely buckled) at 100 MPH / 161 KMH.

Siegfried ,

Thanks for the Christianization of the speed units, God bless you

Survived and still standing on her feet…

OceanSoap ,

Not just survived, but with everything intact. No missing limbs or massive head trauma. She’s wildly lucky in that reguard.

Rediphile ,

Or wildly unlucky, depending on how one looks at it.

phoenixz ,

Something tells me the judge will make her feel a bit less lucky within a few days.

I’d be surprised if she gets out within 20 years

Lucky or a very impressive feat of engineering in modern cars? 😱

There are a lot of people in this post spouting their opinion on an article they very clearly did not read.

The mum of one of the dead put it well - justice was served but nobody won today.

Winning was not the goal anyway? Its not a game

@killeronthecorner@lemmy.world avatar

Winning the trial was the goal. She was saying it’s a hollow victory nonetheless.

pinkdrunkenelephants ,

Justice absolutely is gamified in this shit society.

null ,

Winning is always the goal. The definition does not just apply to games.

MicroWave OP , in China's Evergrande files for bankruptcy
@MicroWave@lemmy.world avatar

China’s real estate sector was long seen as a vital growth engine in the world’s second-largest economy and accounted for as much as 30% of the country’s GDP. But Evergrande’s 2021 default sent shockwaves through China’s property markets, damaging homeowners and the broader financial system in the country.

Francisco ,

damaging homeowners and the broader financial system in the country.

Or, showing that current homeowners overpaid, opening the door to new homeowners and allowing the broader financial system to have losses we all knew were possible.

NanoooK ,

Curious to see if there is going to be a domino effect with their real estate companies.

occhionaut ,

Its fucked, no way around it. Property bubble has already exploded with a whimper, thanks to CCP censorship. Chinese households are now extremely wary of trusting their money to others and aren’t gonna be buying homes until the next (unsustainably small) generation.

Buelldozer ,
@Buelldozer@lemmy.today avatar

Curious to see if there is going to be a domino effect with their real estate companies.

China Gardens, the largest real estate company, is toppling (article is from a week ago and those payments still haven’t been made) and at least one of China’s largest “Shadow Banks”, Zhongzhi Enterprise Group, is going with them.

The dominoes aren’t going to stop; Evergrande, Country Gardens, and Zhongzhi Enterprise Group are just the first visible ones.
