A desperate and lying claims he knows “nothing” about his agenda, even though his top aides are the ones behind the plan

@GottaLaff After their crowing about the benefits of being found guilty in Merchan’s court, I, were I a member of the national press, would have asked him if he planned to plead guilty in the other cases.

Today, I would ask, “So why doesn’t your campaign tell you about their plans? What with your increasing incoherence speaking live, do they plan to 25th amendment you? And follow-up question, is that why you haven’t chosen a running mate, trouble finding one so bad, they’ll keep you in office?”

    @GottaLaff No, I read that on Blue Sky yesterday. Maybe I should doubt it?

    Here’s the decoder ring. Were someone to walk up and say “The Earth is flat and that directly influences how I live my life.” My answer would be “That’s nice,” meaning I don’t have time to suffer the delusional.

    Of course, I was directing my comments to Mr. Dorsey and not you.

    Worsening Weather Is Igniting a $25 Billion Market

    "Against a backdrop of rising climate volatility and social shifts, demand for is surging.

    While a [catastrophe] bond may pay out if a 100-year storm tears through a community, a weather derivative can compensate a tourism business if there are too many rainy days, or a farmer if a hot summer stresses her crops."

    @CelloMomOnCars The USA savings & loan/junk bonds crisis of the late 1980s and the financial meltdown of 2007 had a common cause. Risks were underestimated, possibly obfuscated. With junk bonds, the evangelists relied on a theory that the high risks which justified high returns were overstated, thus something that looked like clever arbitrage.

    Besides the inversions when owners collect for not providing services, should an investor believe the fund managers have the probabilities correct?

    pomCountyIrregs ,
    @pomCountyIrregs@mstdn.social avatar

    @momo And, while the derivative market assumed the underlying assets safe, because of historic records for housing, lenders were expanding (and management taking big bonuses) via no income/no verification loans.

    But let’s not deep dive those histories. My point is that these types of market devices rely on historical statistics and I believe that climate and weather are too complex and the interaction with people is too vast to say that it will be addressable with business school gimmicks.

    @pomCountyIrregs@mstdn.social avatar

    @CelloMomOnCars This being asked of someone living in Southern California, where home insurers are leaving the market because fire risk looks too large to them.

    I understand how it is analogous, but are the actuarial data as comprehensive and precise for 100 year storms, etc.? And, if weather damage probability is underestimated, what happens when claims exceed assets?

    (And, I’ll note that it’s not being called insurance. I would guess it’s to avoid more strict regulations and accountability.)

    Thank the lord for Tish James. If you look at the research she did into this bond it made my head spin and I'm a math teacher. She understands all of these fancy finance games, and I guess you'd need to do her job in NYC. We have the worst/best "banking wizards" sometimes they break the laws of physics, sometimes they just break laws.

    This bond is a stinker. I wonder what Trump promised the guy to let his company implode as sacrifice to avoid the full fee?

    pomCountyIrregs ,
    @pomCountyIrregs@mstdn.social avatar

    @futurebird The thing that was filed is a bit hand wavy. The bond company, as pointed out elsewhere, is not promising to pay. It affirms that Trump’s Company will pay via a Trump Co Schwab account that will have 175 million in it at all times and for which some amount of ownership is given to the bond company. What I didn’t see (or misunderstood) is if Trump Co still owns that account on a joint basis. Also lost in the shuffle is that an appeal loss will cost Trump Co 500 million plus.

    pomCountyIrregs ,
    @pomCountyIrregs@mstdn.social avatar

    @futurebird Thank you for the clarification. That was the point I poorly expressed. While they told the court that the bonder had access to the account, it’s not restricted cash, and, as you state, the money can be cleaned out. I also didn’t see a mechanism enforcing the affirmation that the balance always be above 175m.

    @GottaLaff Seems to non-lawyer me that this verges on frivolous. The tweet (I also saw reporting on financial disclosures required by law when he was in office) is a public record and the trial is not about his tweeting or disclosing, but other non-official acts.

    Plus, as I understand you saying, the time to challenge the prosecutor’s evidence passed.

    @GottaLaff I apologize for misattributing. My addendum is based on your reporting of others’ opinion of timeliness.

    As to my comment, I’m expressing a barely formed opinion and am looking for someone to say yep; sort of; or no, and here’s why.

    @GottaLaff If the trial is active in the late summer and fall, then from the day jury selection starts until the day the verdict comes in, Citizen Trump’s butt will be stuck in that court room.

    And include all the money and contributions diverted to his legal fees. Not how I’d want to run a campaign.

    I was telling my students about cuneiform and one asked if it would be on the exam.

    So I told them the exam would be in cuneiform and they need to bring clay and little triangle styluses.😡

    They still have not realized that anytime anyone asks "will this be on the test?" I always say "Yes."
