Boy it was fun finishing school in 2007 and stepping out into the job market engulfed by an inferno.

I'm so happy that they spent the money for the cast, otherwise NO ONE would have seen it

The scene with Anthony Bordain is hilarious to me because I AM a chef and that is EXACTLY what we do. Any time you're at a smaller restaurant or not a chain and we have a "special", especially on Mondays and Thursdays, it's because we either overbought or undersold product and need to get rid of it before it goes bad. It's not bad food, don't get me wrong. Everything's still perfectly up to code. It's just been in the walk in for a few days and needs to go to make room for our normal order to come in for the normal menu.

As a cybersecurity professional, I gotta say that a lot of the claims that are made about the added layer of protection that a VPN offers are overblown. They don't protect against malware, phishing, ransomware, most data leaks, and they aren't a perfect protection against tracking since a lot of that is done through cookies or browser fingerprinting. The protection they do offer is that they add a layer of encryption, but since most internet traffic is encrypted already nowadays, that too is of limited value. I agree that joining a shady wifi network is probably a bad idea without a VPN, but my solution to that would be to use the hotspot on my phone. That's always safer.

Sorry to bust your sponsor's balls, Richard, I don't mean you harm. Love your channel and all, just thought I'd share some of my professional expertise.

The Big Short and the film Margin Call could be considered two ends of the same stick and should be watched together.

craziest fact about the who situation is how few of the people at the heart of the crisis saw any negative consequences for their malfeasance. Particularly the companies and personnel giving the incorrect credit ratings. That fraud is the foundation of the crisis.

nobody seem to realize that the scariest line of the movie is at the end, when it says that Michal Burry is focused now on only one commodity: water.

That cut to "theres a bubble" fuckin killed me 😂😂😂😂

YouTube recommended “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room” with this video. It’s a documentary, but I’d like to see you do a video on Enron for guys like me who were too young to really understand what happened back then.

Using credit default swaps to make money off of the housing market crashing sounds an awful lot like taking out a life insurance policy on a dying man that nobody realizes is sick in order to get a big payout when the man does indeed croak.

Almost 10 yrs after that movie came out i found that sea food stew analogy not only apt for the said situation but also very useful explanations of most things in life 😂😂😂😂

"out of spite"   Ya know what, best reason ever.....

I watch this movie every year. It's so epic. I work in the industry and I'll tell you now, absolutely nothing has changed.

Barbie and Ken left the barbie world to go be financial advisers during the 2008 crisis

The concept of CDO, which obscure the true rating, is already nuts. CDO squared and synthetic CDO take craziness to a whole ungodly level.

spite is perhaps the single greatest motivator of all human action.

This was long due!

One thing often missed is the bad incentives that all this loose credit had on the construction industry itself. It's not that much more expensive to build a luxury property compared to a normal one, especially not compared to the difference in sale price. What normally keeps construction companies from only making luxury properties, besides regulation, is the difficulty in finding buyers for those projects. BUT if the banks are willing to make preposterous loans to people as part of a scheme to resell the mortgages then... that incentive disappears. They WILL find buyers.

Speculators, bad loans, and just greedy investors drove home prices way up but they also drove the actual construction industry toward unsustainably pricey units. Even after the subprime crash, two of those forces are still active.
