Because Lehman was also huge and because it was so interconnected with so many other parts of the economy. If you notice, it’s not on here because Investment Banks aren’t really banks.

Otherwise, we should also be showing Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, Bear Sterns, AIG, and more. 2008 was a next level crisis.

The episode you mentioned in the spoiler is by far my least liked as well. It doesn't fit the series at all. If would probably do well as a Love, Death + Robots episode though.

But for Black Mirror, it was just... boring. Not what I came to the series for. It was like making a Mad Men episode an action sequence - you could, but why would you?

They barely showed the zombies. The show lacked intensity.

The first episode. It's... a bit out there, and I'd say it doesn't really represent the show all that great. Starting from episode 2, it gets better.

But be aware that there are trigger earnings in just about every episode - violence, sexuality (including abuse), you name it. It's not a pretty show, and the endings oftentimes aren't happy either.

My favourite episodes are probably s02e01 ("Be Right Back"), the Christmas special ("White Christmas"), s03e05 ("Men Against Fire"), and s04e3 ("Crocodile").

Overall, it's a superb series. But if you watch it, you'll never look at a Neuralink or a similar device and think "huh, interesting" instead of "that is a BAD IDEA".

Yes, this! Inflation is the lazy man's adjustment. It works okay in the short term (good for Fed policymaking) but grossly overstates the utility of a dollar in the medium to long term.

You mean “freedom bulldog”

Not this household, we are a schnauzer family.

I have no idea what it is you're trying to say.

In my opinion, it should be adjusted for m2 (money supply). Inflation hasn’t gone up as fast as the money supply and I think it makes more sense to use that when comparing bank assets.

My man, if rounding to the nearest hundred in a metric where 100 is the maximum score doesn’t already sound terrible to you, I won’t be able to explain it.

WeLL, I'LL bet it wiLL be a reaLLy smaLL portion of aLL of them.

Yeap. They show has had odd choices. Pacing is a huge problem. B plots that add nothing to the overall character arcs or plot. The almost non existant infected is a third huge problem

Loved this! Fellow nerd

That was only the first episode. I like that episode, but the fanbase generally dislikes it.

It's an anthology series though, so you could just skip that episode if she really finds it objectionable.

You should include the total number of votes for each episode. I was lookin at episode ratings a few weeks ago and episode 3 had like 4 times the number of reviews compared to any other episode.

Wonder why........

Derp didn't see it was electric cars

or movie directors

Wikipedia's got more llamas than accuracy.

It depends on what you're using ratings for. A binary of good movie / bad movie works great if you are trying to pick a movie with the highest probability of being something you would enjoy. If you want a movie to totally blow you away, an IMDB score or a tally of awards won might be more useful.

I had no idea this many banks failed in ~2008. Most discussion about the financial crisis focus on Lehman Bros

That’s what the colours are for! The size of the bubbles communicate the size of the bank
