I was wondering this same thing. Who would take on a loan that a bank deems unprofitable? Is this like turning the loan over to a loan shark and the shark has means to ensure payment that banks don't due to regulations? Are they selling to the govn't? Either option is not good.

I'm using tailscale (which I hear is just a wrapper for wireguard) and love it.
I came here for this. Thank you!
I'd love to do this properly. I tried it a while ago and it tasted like dirt. What is the best ratio of water to grounds?
This is me. I also like slightly burnt microwave popcorn. I dunno, maybe something's wrong with my taste buds.
And now it's so obvious! I should have guessed that.
True. I was referring more to the first part about being fired. After rereading it, the two weren't "fired". Although 3 years of probation isn't nothing, it's a far cry from what many feel should have been done. The CEO was banned from the industry, which is something.
I'd really be curious to know if the punishment of the CEO & "head of retail operations" provided relief to the people affected by their crime AND was substantial enough to change their behavior.I feel that those items are what the sentencing should be about.
Restic and Borg seem to be the current favorites, but I really like the power and flexibility of Duplicity. I like that I can push to a wide variety of back ends (I'm using the rsync), it can do synchronous or asynchronous encryptions and I like that it can do incremental with timed full backups. I don't like that it keeps a local cache of index files.
I back up to a Pi 0 with a big local disk and rsync the whole disk to another Pi at a relative's house over tailscale. I've never needed the remote, but it's there.
I've had to do a single directory restore once and it was pretty easy. I was able to restore to a new directory and move only the files that I clobbered.
What does OC stand for?
I'm not disagreeing with you, but your last sentence isn't correct.
Last year, the former head of the bank’s retail operation was sentenced to three years of probation, while the bank’s former CEO was banned from the industry.
I remember the flavor ban and thought to myself that it was going to be good to do so that it would not be as attractive to kids. The article is implying that the flavor ban did not stop kids from vaping. In fact, the ban corresponded with a slight increase in kids vaping, which does not make sense to me.
Of course, correlation does not mean causation and the two facts may not be directly related. Maybe kids heard all the talk of the ban and that served as advertising to get them to start. More studies are needed.
Isn't this simply the natural progression of capitalism in action? Everything's for sale, everything has a price.
