Looming Financial Collapse

Millsy

Blatantly. I’m a Barclays customer and it’s been wonderful.

Millsy Timing was immaculate with last Friday of the month being payday for so many.

Where I work banks with Barclays and so do I.

When payment was made to me around 11am it disappeared for 4 hours but thankfully got through. I’m not sure if all the others did or not!

My mate works for their emergency IT support. They made him redundant on Friday and a shit load of others. He had Friday booked off as annual leave and they were asking if he’d mind logging in to help
Lol.

Old-Dutch Close friend of mine is a coder, he worked in the banking sector for a year or so before jumping, he was horrified at the quality of the coding. I won’t tell you which banks he worked for…

Hursty

Old-Dutch lol cunts

alistair

Old-Dutch do you know what the issue is?

Along_the_Wire

Old-Dutch Sounds like the departing IT guys might’ve left a little system-based leaving gift

Millsy

Barclays are one of my clients so I’ll be having words tomorrow.

Old-Dutch

I think they need to turn it off and back on again

bosstrabs

Hursty The effects are all too pronounced especially since covid when the circulating supply of currency was turbocharged

We are sat at 37% compound inflation since 2020 and people wonder why things are so expensive

Are you saying we’ve basically just built a massive FIAT!??!?

bosstrabs

Hursty

bosstrabs Yes Dave! Not sure what the aggregate inflation rate for China is so can’t help.

In the UK the £ Sterling has lost ⅖ of its value since 2020, in such a short period of time, totally fine as everyone has had pay rise to cover this amount even to mark time with their level of wealth from 2020…right?

alistair

So much for a cashless society. Money under the mattress!

Hursty

It’s crazy that a huge proportion of the population think their currency in a bank account is actually there at all

When the next collapse happens a few more people will find out than in 2008, I guess it will depend on how much the government will guarantee

It’s almost as if shutting down the global economy for 2 years for the sake of ensuring the most unproductive and elderly in our society survive a couple more years in a care home actually costs something and has consequences; and wasn’t just some jolly where people get paid to clap for the NHS.

Amps

hugopal for the sake of ensuring the most unproductive and elderly in our society survive a couple more years in a care home

Brilliant death mongering.

Could well have been. He’s still working there for another few weeks but they’ve let most of the senior guys go apparently. A lot have taken VR too.

Might just be that it’s a coincidence that’s come back to bite them.

I fucking hate Barclays so finding it all very amusing

I was doom scrolling last night and saw a 14min vid made by some financial guru that suggested “what is coming will be worse than 2008”. I neither watched it nor saved the link.

Sorry about that, chaps.

Hursty

LT42 it’s coming for sure, history tells us

Millsy

LT42 hard to argue against that. Trump has fucked the world with his little orange acorn, again.

I only wish Amps would take this approach.
