Manchin held a press conference to poo poo on progressives for holding up the infrastructure bill while at the same time saying he's waffling again on the reconciliation bill and wants to cut more out of it.

Reminder that the NYPD, despite the union's bluster, had only 34 officers (32 of which were already retirement eligible) resign rather than get the shot.

Here's a funny tidbit to the infrastructure bill. The house passed a version that amends section 6050i (which requires banks/business to report person's info to IRS if they pay in more than $10k in cash) to include crypto transactions as well. This means any business in the USA that accepts crypto will have to do full reporting on all transactions in excess of $10k.

I actually misread it at first - it's not crypto transactions in excess of 10k. It's receipt of any digital asset defined as "any digital representation of value which is recorded on a cryptographically secured distributed ledger or any similar technology as specified by the Secretary"

The fifth circuit just stayed enforcement of OSHA's temporary rule mandating covid vaccines. They did not follow any of the standard rules for granting a stay, and rather just said since the briefs seeking the stay "give us cause to believe there are grave statutory and constitutional issues with the Mandate." e: https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1457043916662902785 https://twitter.com/steve_vladeck/status/1457052180045828096 Mr. Nice! fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Nov 6, 2021 |

Regardless of everything, Lowtax apparently blew through $400k since since he and lady A split deliberately so that she and his kid couldn't get any of it. It was a supremely lovely move before he died. Goons have raised almost $30k so far that's going to be set up for his kids.

The JP Morgan/Tesla suit is going to go in JP Morgan's favor. What's sad is that this should be a trivial suit for Tesla to pay - after all they're a trillion dollar company and the suit is for $162m. No company should waste money litigating over a suit that is less than 0.2% of the company's value.

Here's the tl:dr; of the lawsuit: JP Morgan has contract with Tesla for a lot of 2021 warrants - that is contracts for shares. The warrants were only valid if the stock went above a certain price, which it is many multiples of. The dispute hinges around Musk's dumbshit going private at $420 tweet. This triggered certain contractual parts of the warrant agreement because it was a material statement regarding a change in ownership. JP Morgan notified Tesla pursuant to the contract, and Tesla said "nuh uh." When it came time to settle up, Tesla balked at paying out what they owed. As a result, JP Morgan had to go buy 227k shares of Tesla on the open market ($162m worth). Tesla now owes them that money plus attorneys fees. They had to buy the shares to close out short positions held by other clients. The shorts were sold based upon the contract that Tesla is welching on. The thing is, they could have easily just given JP Morgan the shares. My guess is Elon refused because it was going to short sellers. I'm pretty sure Tesla is gonna have to pay their bills.

shame on an IGA posted:I'm reading the complaint and holy goddamn christ how stupid do you have to be to sell stock options to someone while also giving them unilateral authority to change the strike price It's not uncommon at all, and Tesla was desperate for the money so they took whatever they could get. Tesla has not ever made money selling cars. They lose money hand over fist selling low quality poo poo built in a tent because Musk is an idiot who refused to use existing institutional knowledge to manufacture vehicles. They have only ever made money because of government subsidies and selling carbon credits to polluters. The actual value of the company is literally the liquidated assets as they have no really good IP - if they did, it would be licensed. Tesla has only been able to survive as long as it has because the government props it up and they're able to sell a bunch of shares to idiots who think musk is tony stark any time they're in a cash crunch (like to pay musk). This lawsuit is a big deal for Tesla because I really do not think they can afford to pay it. They claim in their last quarterly filing to have 16bn cash and cash equivalent on hand, but I'm betting the "equivalent" part is doing a lot of the heavy lifting.

In other news, someone in China probably signed his own death warrant as he drove around Xinjiang and filmed from the street all the different "reeducation" facilities. https://twitter.com/alisonkilling/status/1460243389060952074 There's a video with English subtitles or you can just read through the twitter thread.

I’ve already been told that my life is forfeit if someone pulls a gun while getting beat up in a fight he started. The fact that I was his savior and otherwise a bystander is irrelevant. Mutual combat is the law of the land in florida. The one that’s left alive is immune to prosecution or civil liability.

Bored As gently caress posted:What the ever loving gently caress is that lunatic saying that poo poo for? She's hoping that she can get a racist white juror to vote to acquit and hang the jury. Blind Rasputin posted:Did a motive get released for the guy who drove the car into the parade yet? He was fleeing something (potentially an incident with a knife), came to police barricades, drove past them, he starts driving around to find a way through and actively doesn't seem like he's trying to run anyone over. At some point police start shooting at his car and he eventually says gently caress it and guns through a section then hauls rear end away. It wasn't someone trying to deliberately kill people.

The perp was out on bond for a nasty DV charge and would normally not have been granted release pretrial. However, he was at the limit of his speedy trial rights, and they couldn't get him to trial because covid had everything backlogged. The prosecutors and defense worked out a deal that speedy trial would be waived and he'd get a $1000 bond.

BTW - GPS monitoring is a cost born by the accused. In FL it can run over $300/mo for the privilege of having some lovely ankle bracelet that has to be plugged in 90% of the time because the batteries are poo poo and if you leave it offline for too long you go back to jail.
