Multiple bankruptcies are indicative of an inability to succeed in the chosen business.

Sorry spike, but bkcy IS a "failure."

It's a tool for tools who lose.

Lemme guess...you filed several times too.

Dodos of a feather...

For us ‘regular’ people bankruptcy is an obvious disastrous failure. I’m not so sure it has the same meaning for the BUSINESSES of billionaire businessmen. It seems to be a tool to shield your wealth tied up in SUCCESSFUL ventures from the failure of a different venture.

This forum is of course derived from WoV. You do realize the smartest of the smart there use ‘loss rebates’ as a major AP tool? But he low level, underfunded, beginners don’t? I think it’s a great analogy to your bankruptcy jabber.

I don’t know how the endgame will be played out with the Trump tariffs. I can only tell you that Joe Investor (me!) has had 5-10% of his net worth vaporized directly due to Trump’s tariffs. There must be (smarter than me!) investors that have been shorting the market making BOATLOADS this last few weeks.

I’m still waiting for the narrative to at least MENTION how much money will be pouring into the governments coffers due to tariff collections.

Trump's next chess move is likely to squeeze them after China nullified the first squeeze.

Eventually, I'd think China has to flood their markets with fiat.

Possibly, about another $3 trillion fiat (equivalent in Yuan).

Rapid inflation likely, for them.


They could have to destroy their own currency.

But they already knew their day of reckoning was coming.


The Biden admin were letting them financially rape us.

It's wonderful to finally have a President that stands up to commies.

This is just the second half of the typical "success" Trump trajectory he was on before he "reluctantly" left office last time. The first part is hype hype hype taking all the believers* with him. Now we're just going over the crest of the peak like a roller coaster. There's no belts holding people in, the tracks are rickety, people are flying out. It's Trump University, Trump casino, Trump not paying anyone, Trump meme coins, Trump social media company, all the people suing him forever and ever and ever, all hurtling downward.

*his believers=suckers

Ah, I 88% believe what I just said is probably true.

Uh-oh

House Democrats Jump Ship as Hakeem Jeffries Hits Choppy Waters

House Democrats from all over the country are abandoning their
swing seats to run for statewide office, creating a nightmare
scenario for embattled Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ (D-NY)
bid to claim the House from Republicans.

“House Democrats are scurrying away from competitive districts
like rats fleeing a sinking ship,” NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
said. “Democrats’ abandonment of these seats
leaves Hakeem Jeffries with a skeleton crew and hands Republicans
an open path to flip crucial swing districts without facing
entrenched incumbents.”

Way too many incumbent Democrats are opting out which will make this next election even harder for the Democrats to win back the house.

Lolita flight log. ^^^


Article author noticed what I noticed:


All roads lead to John Roberts, since he's the head judge.

It's no coincidence federal judges are interfering with Trump and the executive branch.

There's only a few ways this plays out.

Very much so. We have bankruptcy law in the first place due to Robert Morris' business collapse. He owned more land than probably anyone in the USA yet ended up in debtor's prison. When that happens, other businessmen are not going to rush to start new businesses. Different business ventures need to be isolated. Debts need ways to be restructured when necessary.

Here is the thing on Trump. He is a man of huge vision. From a small family business he made himself into a developer, casino owner, and airline operator. This happens with this kind of person. Henry Ford had 2 bankruptcies on his way to building FoMoCo. Several POTUSS filed bankruptcy. Almost every airline has gone bankrupt at some point, LUV being the only major not to.

One thing is certain, do not bet against Trump coming back from setbacks. Like the song says, he picks himself up, dusts himself off, and starts all over again. He rides high in April, shot down in May, and is back on top in June. (OK, yeah, that is 2 songs....)

Was is smart to buy the one good part of a bad airline to try and make a go of it? Maybe not, but Trump is the kind of guy who will give it a shot.

claptrap. Only thing Trump is good at is convincing dumb people to do things they probably shouldn’t
