Will US banks fall after a 0.25 rate hike?

2024-03-09 06:03:32

No

The Fed would not raise rates for no reason. They're saving the dollar. As they said, the US financial system is stable, which means that even if small banks go bankrupt, they will be bought by larger banks.

The increase in rates and the export of gold from the United States does not speak about the stability of the American financial system. But in the short term, everything is stable and under control.

Why do some religions forbid eating pork?

2023-04-20 14:09:41

Muslims and Jews have a religious ban on eating pork. Both religions were formed in hot countries, where such perishable and dirty meat as pork is dangerous for human health.

It is known that pigs are omnivorous - they are able to digest everything they find: from carrion to their own excrement. The animals themselves do not suffer from this, but for humans, the toxins accumulating in pork are a real poison. The sages of the past came up with the idea that it is much easier and faster to convince your loved ones that a pig is almost a fiend of hell than to explain that this meat can be dangerous to health. There is another reason - pig farming requires a lot of fresh water, and the Middle East is an arid place. Breeding pigs turns out to be unprofitable.

But initially, God's instructions about food did not contain any prohibitions. Everything that moves that lives will be your food

Why don't Jews and Muslims eat pork, but Christians do?

Is a nuclear escalation of the conflict and a third world war possible because of Russia and Ukraine in 2024-2025?

2024-10-15 11:14:58

No

Tactical nuclear weapons are used in places where troops are concentrated. Russia can bomb Ukrainian troops and cities without nuclear weapons. If they are going to bomb Ukrainian cities with nuclear weapons, they take responsibility for the deaths of civilians and the consequences of the use of TNW. Therefore, nuclear weapons will be used as the last resort, in the event of a stalemate. But if Ukraine starts bombing Belarus, this will actually untie Russia's hands in the use of TNWs.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine declared war on each other. Shouts about the use of nuclear weapons are just political games, like shouts about the beginning of World War III. This is a reason to end the conflict and sit down at the negotiating table, if they continue to act in the same direction as now, the war could escalate into a confrontation with Europe with the use of TNWs.
