BlackRock fund limits withdrawals as redemptions rattle private credit BlackRock said on Friday it has limited withdrawals from a flagship debt fund ​after a surge in redemption requests, as investor worries mount around the $2 trillion private credit industry.

When this happened at Bear Stearns in 2007 two days later the bank collapsed. If Blackrock follows a similar path we are headed into a global meltdown of all major financial markets. www.reuters.com/business/bla...

It's a very weird thing to be happy to have a king.

Indigenous treaty rights supercede all provincial rights.

Also. The UCP are traitors.

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

If you read the bill, it attaches liability to the chatbot answer ONLY IF the same answer would attach liability to the person making the same statement.

Complicated new issue but seems AI companies want Section 230 type immunity. I don’t think that’s where the public (and juries) are, at all.

My advice to the Administration: With the U.S. uncomfortably close to a recession -- and already in a jobs recession -- don't do anything rash that could make things worse.

Danielle Smith is happy to disagree with anything old Danielle Smith said as long as it benefits the current version of herself. She has zero moral compass.
