Low inheritance taxes exacerbate nepotism

But all politicians are equally at fault for not leglislating to ensure workers have livable salaries and encouraging the “outsourcing” thing that moved jobs overseas so people could buy cheaper Walmart stuff.

When banks loan against property and the collateral is the property itself, there should be an independent revaluation of the property to ensure the bank is not running into excessive risk by lending say, $300, on a property that is worth $200. In case the borrower default, then the banks sells the property for $200, but losses $100 because the property was only worth $200.

Trump claiming that banks never saw losses indicate that bank relationship managers were complicit in using distorted valuations to lend, potentially violating internal credit rules established by their own employers.

Another possibility is that Trump actually defaulted multiple times but banks do not publicly admit it.

I just don’t understand why voter registration in the US is not a permanent thing like a driver’s license

I know but wearing olive drab is good for his soldier’s morale… “I’m on this with you” kind of thing

Zelenskyy I guess has no other choice as his country is in war and he is the supreme commander of his forces

Amazing how he has not been killed by a disgruntled business partner or investor yet

Great opportunity to sentence the orangebutt in absentia for treason
