sorry but this woman is raising 3 Lovesac mall location store managers, 1 guy addicted to Sunoco “cognitive supplements”, and 1 youth pastor who eventually does time for statutory rape
What strikes me as interesting from all the “discourse” is that the right is now basically in the same internationalist position as the bolsheviks in like 1919
So much conspiracy out there over Brazil. Here are the facts.
1. Both candidates requested extension of voting hours. Both!
2. Allowing everyone time to vote is democratic obviously.
3. Voting is mandatory in Brazil.
4. Bolsonaro got nearly four million more votes in second round versus first, despite claims he lost votes.
5. He was always going to lose as almost all voters for anyone else weren't going to touch him.
6. It was a relative landslide win for Lula.
7. Lula has issues but isn't communist.
8. Begging Trump to invade in the name of democracy because you lost isn't a good reflection of your intelligence.
9. The right need to learn to lose and stop whining.
10. X posts don't make someone who couldn't find Brazil on a map an expert on their society and politics.
11. Lula now needs to do far better for Brazilians than he has in past and I've huge doubts he will frankly.
One judge blocks the merger, they file, a bankruptcy judge confirms their plan despite five violations of the Code that crush employees, trade creditors and bondholders. The lesson: in the US legal system, when one door closes, another opens

Trump swaggered into Georgia right before the midterms, breathlessly announcing a huge new Audi factory, a massive win for the state he claimed. Here's the receipt: Audi had absolutely no such announcement, no plans to build a plant in Georgia, and no knowledge of this supposed commitment. This wasn't just campaign exaggeration; it was a bald-faced fabrication, invented out of thin air just days before an election, banking on voters not checking if a major international corporation actually agreed to a multi-billion dollar investment during a political rally. It perfectly illustrates how quickly reality gets benched for a headline grab, promising prosperity that only exists in a speech bubble, all while the people who supposedly value "truth" never question the actual facts. thehill.com/homenews/state-w…
The big problem for airlines is not bankruptcy; they have always done that. The problem is that a quickie 11 to screw unions and wait out high jet fuel prices no longer works, and that’s always been their playbook
Replying to @shortbus_ace
If antitrust law didn’t apply to airlines about to go bankrupt, we would have one airline. That airline would then file chapter 11

Let’s be extremely clear, the merger should have been allowed.
Let’s also be clear that the combined co would have also gone BK.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
If JetBlue goes bankrupt, I would have to believe this would be the first time in history that the DOJ blocked a merger of two companies and then both went bankrupt. Great process. xitter.cf/Investingcom/status/21…
Per recently filed court documents, LIV Golf executives were paid out nearly $15 million in retention payments in the months leading up to the bankruptcy filing. These payments are intended to retain key employees throughout the restructuring period.
A lot of the ugly side of bankruptcy is generally written off as "ugly, but commonplace". Things like unpaid leases, payment lapses in contracts, things like that. It's all ugly, but not out of the norm for companies going through this process.
But for that to be happening while executives were taking 6, and in many instances 7 figure payments in addition to their regular salary, is concerning. For small businesses to go unpaid, for fan-forward features to be turned off, for concerts that people had paid for to be cancelled, that's all problematic.
And for all of that to happen while the outward messaging is one of understanding, of building a sustainable business, of wanting to make these small businesses whole so that they can continue working with them in the future.
I fully understand the need for some of this. If you lose the CEO, CFO, or president during a restructuring period, it could be an insurmountable setback. But some of the amounts are excessive, and some of the employees non-essential. In fact, there are employees that received large retention payments that I have on multiple occasions specifically named as people that hold LIV back from being as good as it could be.
LIV is great because it was fan-forward, it was different, they had a certain energy about them. That's what needs to come back out of this restructuring, if anything. Passionate employees working nonstop to build the best possible product for the fans, for the players, and for the game. Not this. This is Jay Monahan cutting tour cards while taking millions in bonuses and making "donations" to his own kids ritzy private school type stuff.

AI folks seem to think it’s okay for their rosy dreams of an AI future to prop up their stock, but the intense desire of credit people to burn everything down cannot make the stock fall. Market irrationality goes both ways, my dudes
