Are they going to cut up the debt and repackage it to sell to investors, like they did with the subprime mortgages years ago?

What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacks
Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

Look, they took a big risk, and now that their gamble is going bad, they need a way to make sure that the working class pays the price for their mistake. After all, they deserve special treatment and bailouts because they're risk takers.
Paywall.
The link below that literally says "No paywall link"?
The only link I see is to the same paywalled article and nowhere do I see the words "No Paywall Link"?
Oh wow, this is amazing. It seems like PieFed is adding it automatically! 🤩
The non-paywalled link is to https://removepaywalls.com/https://www.ft.com/content/08aba5e4-5834-4e79-a48d-989a2c5bad0f?syn-25a6b1a6=1.
That link is not present on the original at https://lemmy.zip/post/63792557 (to anyone using PieFed, simply clicking that link will automatically translate to the post's location on your home instance, a highly requested feature, but to avoid that do a right-click then open the link).
And while not entirely relevant, it appears to not always be present on PieFed as well - e.g. I do not see it on https://piefed.social/post/2037847/comment/11226397#comment_11226715.
But look at the main post page from a PieFed instance like https://piefed.social/c/technology@lemmy.zip/p/2037847/banks-seek-to-offload-risk-to-avoid-choking-on-data-centre-debt or https://piefed.zip/c/technology@lemmy.zip/p/1457315/banks-seek-to-offload-risk-to-avoid-choking-on-data-centre-debt and you will see the second link added, with a non-paywalled link.
PieFed continually impresses the hell outta me, and I love that!!!
I was also frustrated at the lack of non-paywalled link, but your comment prompted me to try long pressing the article link on Thunder and lo and behold there's an option for alternate sources with a archive.today link.
Oh wow I wonder if other apps do similarly - that's awesome.:-)
Not seeing anything like that on Voyager. Would be nice though, the ammount of posts that are just links to a paywall has been reaching reddit levels.
I find those very frustrating, as they are basically advertisements for you to spend money to read further. i.e. they are a "tease".
And then not even any conversation about them. I wish the Hot sort for posts would show a lot fewer of those. I find that it helps to unsubscribe from most of the most popular communities - at least on PieFed I always have the option to regain viewing their content at the mere touch of a button, like News and Politics shows it all anyway, so I do not have to be subscribed to see it, and that way it at least declutters my Subscribed feed. Though even the more moderately-populated communities are becoming that way too.
Interesting! Thanks for the link! I tried viewing this in my browser as well and had the same issue, thought I was losing it 😂
