Pretty cool to learn one of my old school friend hired by the Youngkin administration as Deputy Secretary in Finance.

chico's friend ................................
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-com...101715059.html INSIDER Trump compliments 'fierce' and 'smart' Putin and applauds Xi Jinping for ruling China with an 'iron fist' Speaking at a rally in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump praised Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. He called both leaders "fierce," adding that Xi is "smart" to rule China with an "iron fist." Xi and Putin have troubling records of human rights abuse. Former President Donald Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping during a Saturday rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a video shows. "I've got to know a lot of the foreign leaders, and let me tell you, unlike our leader, they're at the top of their game," Trump said, comparing Xi and Putin to President Joe Biden.

Think of a local restaurant, for instance. The owners, perhaps concerned about facing another pandemic-induced shutdown, could use Kalshi’s Covid-19 contracts to hedge against the possible loss in business. Its push into political markets is no different, CEO Tarek Mansour said. “Everyday Americans are always exposed to election risks,” Mansour said, citing tax policy as an example of how Congress’ makeup hits investors big and small. “We are trying to bring these tools to the masses. You’re basically financially hedging a variety of different things in your life instead of just sitting down and thinking, ‘OK, this is just going to make my next four years worse.’” Questions about the extent to which Kalshi’s contracts can be used as a hedge will be front and center for the CFTC as it weighs the proposal. The regulator is specifically looking at two key issues, Willkie Farr & Gallagher partner Neal Kumar said. The first is whether the products involve a form of gaming, a classification of event contracts that is prohibited under CFTC rules along with the other types of unlawful activity. The second is, if the contracts are determined to reference gaming, is there an economic purpose behind them such as providing a way for investors to hedge risk, Kumar said. It’s a similar calculus that the regulator took a decade ago when reviewing Nadex’s political event contracts, which it determined were both a form of gaming and not in the public interest. But plenty has changed in 10 years. ^^ this is from the article ... I have very little idea what this means. ------------ Florida live tracking license plates through toll booths ... I assume every state/toll both does this. You dont have a REP reason expectation of privacy when you are out and about in your car. If i can stand on a public place and observe something .. you dont have a REP. Same as a cop behind you running your tags at a red light or traffic enforcement cars with those side cameras scanning parked cars in every city in america. this is a good thing. car jackers, child abductors, criminals etc locations can be alerted to police One thought -- what if you cant pay toll by cash and the State FORCES you to enroll in their toll booth electronic payment plan? ^^ that may be something. Kinda like forced State action. I think and would hope the SCOTUS would say you have to have a reasonable alternative option then just enrolling in a state program. If Florida or Texas does this .. the SCOTUS will say its fine. If California does this ... SCOTUS will suddenly be 4A rah rah rah fuck the SCOTUS |

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Basically is it hedging or is it gambling. Think The Big Short by Michael Lewis or the movie if you don't read (sigh). Personally I think hedging is highly unethical regardless of if it is labeled as gambling, you are investing money and hoping the system fails so you get rich.

Braddock mayor detains jogger after hearing possible gunshots I believe I did the right thing, but I may have broken the law during the course of it. You know, I'm certainly not above the law, but what I did, I did in a split second out of concern as a father and the mayor," said Fetterman. John Fekkkerman pulling shotguns on a black jogger…I’m sure that’s ok with liberals

Re: The Most Fresh & Cordial Political Thread Ever
Cancelled?
The MAGAs won. They realized that America has a decent percent of very gullible pissed off people who are looking for someone to blame for their jobless poor decrepit town in Kentucky or Western Pennsylvania So they beat on the cultural war drum incessantly to cause division and increase anger among the dumbest poorest uneducated amongst us. All the while these poor rednecks collect disability, medicaid complaining about liberals this and liberals that .. all while sucking on the Federal teete as their life line while they stuff their face with sugary ass food and smoke cigarettes and wonder why their feet are starting to tingle. Im not talking about Chico or anyone here ... Im talking about half my extended family living in W Va and PA. |
