speculation;
some surprise or sudden change in the relative value/yields of different currencies (like yen vs USD) would most likely trigger a massive amount of major financial institutions exiting their carry trades positions, which could rapidly spike or crash currencies. Gasoline on a fire ect

Mostly done by borrowing in one currency, converting it to another with higher interest on bonds and then pocketing the interest iirc. Not clear on the details, just what I recall from work. Big risk I think is just exchange rates, otherwise freeish money lol

I actually had a chance to drive a newer 2024 tacoma (which is insanely huge) and I was horrified at the complete lack of visibility. Insane blind spots including like not being able to see 10-15 feet of the road in front of you.
Also just absurdly heavy which you could really feel in corners.
