FINANCIAL DOOM! Multiple Disasters-Harvey, Irma, Puerto Rico, Santa Rosa, the impacts on the Banks, Are we looking at a complete COLLAPSE!!
Has anyone even stopped to think about the financial impact on the US and its Banking Mortgage Industries, in addition the Insurance Industries? Well let's talk about it, it could be the thing that financially causes the whole house of cards to come tumbling down.

First, let's talk about Harvey, whoa, quoting from an article from Zero Hedge, "Black Knight Financial Services estimated 300,000 borrowers in the vicinity of Houston could become delinquent on their loans and 160,000 could become seriously delinquent." That's just for Harvey.

[link to www.zerohedge.com]

Let's take a look at Irma, Florida. Again, quoting the Zero Hedge article, "Florida FEMA - designated disaster areas related to Hurricane Irma include a whopping 3.1 Million mortgaged properties." No designation regarding any commercial properties for either Harvey or Irma.

Now we have Puerta RICO which was what appears to be an almost total loss on all residential and commercial properties to a majority of the properties. So bad in fact, President Trump vowed to nullify Puerto Rico's debt. Hmmmnn.

On the radar at this exact moment are the fires in Anneheim and Santa Rosa, CA. Acres after acres, miles after miles of residential and commercial properties completely burned to the ground, total losses. My heart goes out to all these people who have lost anything and everything in any one of these disasters. Seriously the way it's looking we'll probably have a couple more before the end of the year, still to early to say.

The "Big "Question", when do the insurance companies fail because there is just not enough revenue to cover the totality of all the claims. In addition to the fact that the biggest banks in the world will be facing the largest delinquencies on mortgages in the history of the banking industry. What happens???? Can somebody smarter than myself open their mind and think this through and give me a rational explanation as to how we/they will weather or recover from this.

COULD THIS BE THE BRICK THAT BREAKS THE BACKS OF THE BANKING AND INSURANCE INDUSTRIES????????

The above information doesn't even touch on the credit card debt that will go delinquent as people become dispossessed, loss of homes, loss of jobs, loss of revenue.

Hold on everyone, I think it's going to be a white knuckle ride.

The country is broke. A large percentage of the US population is living paycheck to paycheck or worse. Then you throw in a natural disaster, they lose their home or apartment. Most don't even hav savings anymore!

This will not end well!!!

To me this thread is the most interesting topic being attempted on glp or anywhere. Totally relevant to us as individuals, communities, states and nations.

Throw in the pension timebomb also, as well as the number of cities and states on the brink of insolvency, and many other major aspects of this story, and its no wonder the gov would prefer to distract us with NFl stuff and inexplicable hotel and concert shootings.
Anything to keep the focus off reality and whats about to happen to the dollar, among other things.

This should be pinned for a week, just to counter the plethora of senseless inconsequential national enquirer tabloid stuff thats rampant here.

Holy Carp!!! You're right, I forgot about the pension issue.

I don't know how the Banking Industry will handle these disasters. Insurance companies running out of money, homeowners not getting claims paid, banks not getting credit card, loan and mortgage payments!

Let's PIN this thread so others can see. People need to prep, not for some crazy planet coming, but for real doom, like no money, no food. The writing is on the wall, and remember all those bullets the government bought! They know a collapse is coming.

If banks and finance companies would stop charging 35%+ interest on loans, it would help out a bit. No one should be charged greater than 10% on ANY loan!

US companies spent $4T buying back their own stock
By John Aidan Byrne August 19, 2017 | 5:39pm


--Snip--

It’s the “shock” market rally —  cash-rich US companies have plunged nearly $4 trillion of their cash into buying back their stock since 2008, which is why all the stock indexes are hovering near record territory.

Harvey losses as high as $190 Billion

Irma up to $100 Billion

To appreciate how staggering these figures are, consider that they could be enough to make the $18.57 trillion US economy lose a step, knocking between 0.6 percent and 0.8 percent off of US GDP growth this quarter, according to projections from investment banks.

OP, you forgot to mention that Americans now have the highest level of credit card debt in American history (even higher the before the crash of 2008/2009):

[link to www.marketwatch.com]

"American consumers just hit a scary milestone.

They now collectively have the most outstanding revolving debt — often summarized as credit card debt — in U.S. history, according to a report Monday released by the Federal Reserve. Americans had $1.021 trillion in outstanding revolving credit in June 2017. This beats the previous record in April 2008, when consumers had a collective $1.02 trillion in outstanding credit revolving credit."

"Unlimited means Unlimited" The "World Bank" are the keepers of the concept of money. If we say we have the money, we have the money. That's what money is - a belief that there is value. 'Do you know the meaning of the word "credit"? "Credit" is a Latin" word, It means "he believes!" ~ These are not my thoughts just something I read in a book that stuck with me. I had to go back a ways to quote it here.

This Economic Bubble Is Going to Wreak Havoc When It Bursts

It’ll have the force of all previous catastrophes combined.


By Jim Rogers, Robert Craig Baum Jul 10th, 2017 1:51 PM ET

--Cut--

An imminent economic crisis the likes of which this generation has never experienced is coming. However, the conditions under which the next bubble will burst will surprise even the most astute observers of economy, culture, and politics. The higher education bubble (one-sixth of the U.S. economy) will likely burst with the force of all previous catastrophes combined—a shock wave so sudden, so large, that it gathers the full force of the savings and loan, insurance, energy, tech, and mortgage crashes, creating a blockbuster-level perfect storm.

Thanks for this info Silvervega. Yes the World Bank is the keeper of the money, but what about the population that is about to drown under disasters, losses, low wages, health insurance and more.

Trump needs to push changes in the BK law back to what it used to be.

Let the underwater consumers, student loan defaulters, et al, declare Chap 7 and lose the banker burden. Sure, they would have lousy credit scores and would have to learn to live without future credit. That is a required learning experience.

This time let the too-big-to-jail banks FAIL and get their assets distributed. Use this crisis as an opportunity to break up the banking market and get consumers back on a healthy savings-and-cash basis.

BK allows the natural removal of financial dead wood.

The economy would quickly recover.
