There are other banking models that are needed. Look into Custodia Bank’s model (SPDI). Full reserve system meant to backstop high risk (but legal) businesses. They went through a multi-year lawsuit around the start of 2020 with the fed who didn’t want them to exist, ultimately lost.

$50 is a common application fee for a rental apartment in a city in the US. I would imagine no one would be interested in paying $5k to apply to 100 jobs.

Rental property management companies do this with little issue. Is it possible that this is the way the hiring market moves? Would that be a net positive or negative for employees?

"This team member, and this other team member are both filing a particular kind of report but are doing so in very different ways, is one of them more effecient?"

I like it. Seems like there could be lots of ways to automate the creation of SOP for many businesses. I do wonder how high level of tasks it could pick up on. Though maybe that gets better with a bigger context window.
