An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass the Stop Wall Street Landlords Act

15 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

The housing crisis in our nation is reaching unprecedented levels, making homeownership increasingly out of reach for many hardworking individuals and families. A major contributor to this crisis is the unchecked activity of Wall Street firms and institutional investors who are treating homes as mere speculative assets, driving up prices and pricing out potential homebuyers. We cannot stand idly by as private equity giants and corporate landlords continue to exploit the housing market for their own profit, at the expense of our communities. The Stop Wall Street Landlords Act seeks to put an end to this predatory behavior by implementing sensible regulations and disincentives for large investors to hoard single-family homes. This legislation represents a critical step towards restoring balance and fairness to the housing market, ensuring that homes are available and affordable for those who need them most. I strongly urge you to support this bill and prioritize the needs of everyday Americans over the greed of wealthy investors. Our constituents deserve the opportunity to build equity and achieve the dream of homeownership without being priced out by exploitative corporate tactics. Together, we can take meaningful action to address this crisis and make housing more accessible for all.

RBI to Launch Public Repository for Digital Lending Apps

In a significant move to enhance consumer protection and transparency in digital lending, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has announced the creation of a public repository for digital lending apps (DLAs). This initiative aims to help customers verify whether a lending app is associated with regulated entities, such as banks, and avoid potentially illegal apps.

Background and Need

On September 2, 2022, the RBI issued comprehensive guidelines for digital lending, addressing critical issues like customer protection, data privacy, interest rates, recovery practices, and mis-selling. Despite these guidelines, reports have surfaced about unscrupulous digital lenders falsely claiming affiliations with RBI-regulated entities.

A recent RBI Working Group found that about 600 of the 1,100 digital lending apps available on Indian Android devices are illegal. With the proliferation of new lending apps, it’s increasingly challenging for users to determine the legitimacy of these apps.

The Repository’s Role

The RBI’s new repository will be a valuable tool for consumers. It will list digital lending apps deployed by regulated entities, allowing users to check if an app is legitimate or illegal. The data will be submitted directly by regulated entities to the repository and updated regularly. This will ensure that borrowers can easily identify whether a lending app is associated with a recognized, regulated entity.

Guidelines and Compliance

The RBI’s guidelines mandate that regulated entities disclose loan rates upfront and ensure borrowers are well-informed about loan products during the onboarding process. Additionally, these entities are required to assess borrowers' economic profiles before extending loans.

Protecting Consumers

This initiative follows alarming trends where predatory lending practices have led to severe consequences for many individuals, including harassment and extortion. By providing a centralized, publicly accessible list of verified lending apps, the RBI aims to curb these unethical practices and safeguard consumers against fraudulent activities.

For more information, the repository will be accessible on the RBI’s official website, offering a crucial resource for both current and prospective borrowers.

Australia-Based Crypto Lender Sentenced for False Credit License Claims

Helio Said to Be in Breach of Australian Consumer Protection Law

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) announced on Aug. 17 that the Melbourne-based cryptocurrency lender Helio Lending has been sentenced for falsely claiming it held a credit license. According to the regulator, such a claim is in breach of section 30 of Australia’s National Consumer Credit Protection Act 2009. In a statement, the Aussie securities regulator revealed that the license claim was made in an article that appeared on Helio’s website in Aug. 2019. The regulator argued that Helio portrayed itself as a licensed entity when it knew full well that it was not a holder of the Australian Credit License (ACL). Commenting on her organization’s punishment of Helio, ASIC Deputy Chair Sarah Court said: We expect entities and individuals to provide accurate information to their customers and potential customers. Helio falsely claimed that it held an Australian Credit Licence (ACL), misleading their customers to believe that they had the protections afforded by such a licence. For admitting to committing the offense, Helio is said to have entered a “recognisance” of $9,560 (AUD15,000) for 12 months which is contingent on the crypto lender’s good behavior. However, the regulator said the second charge relating to the content seen on Helio’s website has since been withdrawn. What are your thoughts on this story?

The UK government is looking for ways to protect the country's tech and life sciences sectors from losses caused by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). It is exploring options such as an emergency fund to provide a cash lifeline to support startups, and a private bailout. Several bidders have expressed interest in taking over SVB's UK subsidiary, including the Bank of London, OakNorth, Royal, HSBC, and JP Morgan. US customers of SVB will have access to all their cash on Monday, with the $250,000 deposit protection cap being scrapped. Regulators are offering a $25bn emergency lending facility for other American banks. The collapse of SVB, the biggest bank failure since 2008, has put hundreds of startups at risk of insolvency. The government is asking affected startups to disclose how much cash they had on deposit at SVB UK, how much they tend to spend each month, and whether they had access to any other bank accounts other than the collapsed lender.

Karlach: I found the love of my life. I'd say I'm pretty happy. Gale: And I couldn't be happier for you. A fitting reward for the sacrifices you made in getting here. Gale: I've told my students plenty of tales about our escapades. You're something of a hero to them, you know. Gale: I'd be delighted to introduce you to my current cohort - as a guest lecturer, perhaps? I'm sure they'd have plenty of questions for you. Karlach: Sorry, wiz, I'm going back to Avernus after the party. Gale: I suppose, if I were to open a contained portal in a particularly safe region of Avernus... devnote: Mulling the problem over, considering this solution Gale: No. The Blackstaff would never allow it. Health and safety, you see - it's all the rage in wizardry these days. devnote: Dismissing his previous thought - it will never work, Hint of an eye roll about the new health and safety regulations Gale: Perhaps I might come to you, then? I recently met the most excellent diabolist who should be able to lend a hand with the travel arrangements... Karlach: Sounds like you're coming to the Hells then, Gale. I can't wait. Gale: You just let me know which hill of burning sulphur to aim for, and I'll have popped through a portal before you can say 'Zariel'.

not only do i have a soft spot for karlach and gale's friendship, but gale rolling his eyes at the new health and safety regulations at blackstaff academy will never not be funny to me.

very in line with him trying to cast a spell with the blackstaff as a first year student himself, accidentally opening a portal to a different dimension, only to be greeted by a death slaad.

Dowager Queen Alicent

Season 1 comes to an end with the death of King Viserys and the coronations of Queen Rhaenyra and King Aegon... the civil war between Team Black and Team Green is set to wreck havoc on Westeros. Here we have the recently widowed Dowager Queen Alicent in her mourning greens. Can't be too bright about it just yet of course. Hopefully now you can see the ways that her design has grown more and more in the direction of fantasy-tudor. I love all the detailing in fanart for the series that utilize Tudor fashion and hoped I could pull from some of the shape language and the feeling of the "height of power" that Tudor style lends so well to costuming. I kept her buttons on the sleeves though because I thought that was a really fun nod to medieval fashion trends that the show included in her later dresses. See if you can spot all the details that imply strict religious dress regulations and direct visual opposition to Team Black!
