Samurai Sanders posted:It's not a new question but how did he ever run any business bigger than a lemonade stand doing things this way? He's filed for bankruptcy several times, drove multiple casinos into the ground, and grew his wealth far more slowly than if he'd taken his inheritance and stapled it to the stock index. He's always been an incompetent nincompoop, and his only skill is that he's an excellent con man, which made the American political system his perfect mark because it is chock-loving-full of incompetent nincompoops who would walk right off a cliff at the slightest suggestion.

tenderjerk posted:whats great is tormp's successes have come almost solely from stiffing people who work for him and getting highly litigious and bleeding the beast when it all falls apart. There is like zero room for doing this as president that's the main flaw yeah, trump is negotiating like he can just renege on deals whenever he feels like it. i'm not dumb enough to think that trump himself will suffer any negative consequences for this but he's actually made the usa incredibly easy to deal with. just get a hugely beneficial trade deal(that trump thinks he can just walk back) and butter him up enough that he won't threaten you militarily.

He was meticulous about crafting and maintaining an image that projected competence and success. Anything good he put his name on and took credit for. Anything bad he blamed on someone else and poo poo on them endlessly. Also, investors can be dumb people. Also, he practiced vulture contracting. He'd promise his subcontractors a good deal, stiff them, then make sure the cost in court would be so punitive that they'd settle for less or go bankrupt in the process.

i feel sorry for those who missed the old trump thread because trump's business adventures were loving incredible when he wasn't president the best one is that time a saudi prince bought his boat, something trump is still furious about

So there's a Philip K Dick short story called The Mold of Yancy in which a moon colony survives happily as a totalitarian state with not resistance movement or anything. Turns out there's a dude called Yancy who has a tv show, and he subtly manipulates people with a combination of truisms and folksyness, up to the point that they lose their ability to make decisions for themselves and will just agree with whatever opinion Yancy puts forth. Turns out that Yancy's a construct owned by the regime rather than a real person. Don't know why Mitchell exchanges always make me think of this.

Mississippi, Missouri, other shithole Southern and Midwestern states are hosed tho lol.
