Sure, I think their point was just that this is different than cash. If you start selling a bunch of stock to buy things, this would impact the value of your remaining stock negatively. How negatively is pretty hard to predict, but I imagine trying to liquidate that would net far less than half a trillion.

Just to add to this. I've noticed some of my co workers who have developing English skills sound like LLMs sometimes. I imagine this is probably because they've only wrote English in a school or work setting and never for personal communication.

...or maybe they're all just using LLMs idk

CBS NBC and FOX are still available without cable in most places if that's what you mean. Aka with an antenna.

Or you could use the internet for news

Right I feel like you're all missing my point, I probably didn't explain my thought process well.

The premise is that: giving out loans involves risk. To make the risk worth while, the lender needs more upside(higher rate). The more unknowns, the more risk, thus higher rates. My logic is that if lenders had more information then they would be better positioned to evaluate risk, thus borrowing could become less expensive for people that are less risky. This is due to competition between lenders for customers. On that, based on friends getting mortgages recently, it does actually feel like there is a decent amount of competition that space specifically.

I will admit that in one of the other threads someone linked to a study that proves this wrong for medical debt specifically.

Thanks for the link! Yeah it does seem like my understanding is incorrect here "CFPB’s research reveals that a medical bill on a person’s credit report is a poor predictor of whether they will repay a loan,"

My argument is a purely logic based one. Lenders make money by giving out loans, so it's against their interest to deny loans to people which are capable of repaying them.

So the finding is a bit surprising, but willing to admit I'm wrong here :)
