Cratter Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I suppose its time for a whole state thread. Had gf and oil boom. Guy on hugely popular Shark Tank says he bring companies to Fargo. Quote
Kab Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 CNN staff aren’t used to hearing the truth they all looked in disbelief that someone had the guts to tell the truth I'm sure a couple of governors didn’t like what they heard either 1 Quote
CMSioux Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Isn't it there already a shortage of available workers in North Dakota (that's what company executives are saying in Grand Forks) and every business in Fargo is trying to hire Not to mention trying to keep those who are not used to real winters. And you don't even want to think about POC invading. Quote

UNDBIZ Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 And let's not have this thread just be political shots. There is value to discussing the state's economy without getting into red v blue. 1 Quote
90siouxfan Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 I'm apparently quite naive or the post was edited, didn't see any racism? Been educated that POC is not "piece of crap" from the non swearing vernacular part of society. The more you know... 1 Quote

Fortunately the Bank of ND's primary customers are ND government agencies (other than arranging loans with smaller banks), so not as much risk of a run on cash. 1 Quote
SIOUXFAN97 Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 Could the bank of ND use this debacle to "buy or acquire" some of the douche baggery banks in blue states run by douche bags and make some money off these dumb douche bags? Quote
Kab Posted March 20, 2023 Posted March 20, 2023 I doubt they could buy out of state or instate banks Quote

Expand If anything, the current state of affairs will hurt local banks. Anyone with substantial deposits, or businesses, would be rather foolish to have their funds in a local bank over the FDIC limit. Quote
