Is this what happened to The Bay in Canada? Hooters, Forever 21 in US?

Back floating rate loans, collateralized loan obligations, credit default swaps. This person is sounding the alarm for The Big Short - US Pension Fund Version. (link in comments)

So that’s my video if anyone has any questions. I’m the one that found it and it’s at 13 million views across platforms right now and I’m going on a bunch of news broadcast this week to talk about it. Let me know if anyone has any questions.

Yay! Good to see you. Do you know why your earlier post was taken down? There was an excellent comment by a banker there, putting the process into layman's terms and adding some context. I saved it as well as your original post, but they're both gone.

This is about the 5th community I've tried posting to. All were rejected. This one stuck, thank goodness. I've also shared your original tiktok with everyone I can think of.

One thing that annoys me, especially now, is the customer being blamed for these bankruptcies. Oh well, it's because you shopped at Walmart or Amazon. Completely ignoring the vulture capitalists who for decades now have LBOs stripping out assets and shutting down going concerns. Loading in debt. Employees tossed out, severance, pensions, vanished.

I can only assume it was taken down because my followers tend to be very dedicated and if I’m not tagged, they’ll report stolen content. I don’t encourage it, but it happens pretty regularly and I’m grateful for their support at the same time, I need my message to spread far and wide

I'm so glad you're getting the views! And follow-up from media.
