My family and the majority of my neighborhood leaves lights and decorations up until at least the halfway point of January, often into late January

I leave my lights up until daylight saving - whatever we can do to offset the hours and hours of darkness

Are those two lonely dots to the right the two absolutely behemoth banks that went under? The 2nd and 3rd biggest of all time? If so, this kind of makes this graph misleading.

Same. I leave the lights up through Jan.

My wife left the christmas tree up until june one year because it made her happy to see it every day. Lol

I always wonder if the S&L crisis was not manufactured in order to get ahold of farms. Just like the 2008 crisis grabbed all the homes.

Right and the commenter I was responding to was focused on the role of Presidents, not Congress.

I was disagreeing that “Republican Presidents” were primarily to blame for banking deregulation when Carter and Clinton had both signed deregulation bills, including the repeal of Glass-Steagall. Clinton has signaled his support for repeal from as early as 1995. Clinton has since defended this decision and insisted it didn’t contribute to the Great Recession.

So I stand by the conclusion that that Democratic Presidents don’t have a better record than GOP presidents when it comes to major banking deregulation. However, I also disagree with your congressional analysis - the bill was already stalled before joint negotiations. The final version passed 90-8 in the Senate - I don’t support the idea that a Democratic Senate would have killed the bill beyond all negotiation given that President Clinton had been in support of repeal.

All the data is there. The round of 64 ended last night.

Better make it gold, bills can devalue even if no one knows where they are

Oh boy... Google it.

OP is making a joke. Glass-Steagall was the post-Great Depression banking regs implemented.

The joke is that we have waves of regulation that you can see in these failures. Failures spike and everyone clamors to regulate. Then the wave stops and everyone forgets about the past and slowly deregulates. Then we get hit with another wave and the “Glass-Steagall cycle” starts again.

In our family Christmas with one side out the other sometimes isn’t celebrated until January or - as this year - February. And sometimes Christmas decorations help relieve winter SAD feelings. The Christmas decs stay up as needed, and fooey to all the decoration Karens who disapprove.

2023 should be removed until all of the data is in

I still find it quite jarring when that shit is over the next day. I grew up in a world where the tree stayed until it had to go. Now everyone I'm around is done the second the last gift is opened.

There’s a reason the day after Christmas is called Boxing Day.

Box that shit up!

(Lights can stay up as long as you’d like because they’re pretty.)

For me it’s highly dependent on the weather for the outside decorations, but no earlier than the weekend after New Year and no later than the third weekend in January. I won’t leave them up until February.

But there seems to be a cut off, like there’s always some bank failures every year, but once you hit ~10+, a wave is inevitable

(Tbh, I think this could have been visualized better)

The only right answer.

We take ours down by new years or so, but if it makes people happy to leave them up for as long as they want, who gives a shit.

There are a lot more things to be pissed off about in life then someone leaving their Christmas decorations up until April.

Whenever the hell I feel like it. My goal is to keep the tree alive until Easter, really cap the two ends

On the other hand, breakout stars at lower tier schools are starting to get recruited to transfer to higher tier programs.

My bet would be the top teams are getting weaker and there is more parity. The top talents are 1 and done to nba.

The only right answer is New Years

I read something recently about this, Im sorry I can't find it to post, but essentially they were saying that in the past great players in high school would chose to be 2nd tier- non starters at the best programs like Duke, Kansas etc, but that changed in the last 10 years or so, where those guys are choosing smaller schools to be starters and be seen by NBA scouts.
