Moderators delete Reddit thread as doctors torch dead UnitedHealthcare CEO
I was reading an article that quoted his wife about what a great guy he was. It reminded me of Ken Lay's wife talking about her families liquidity problems after the Enron collapse. Hundreds of employees lost everything and she's griping about liquidity.

US inflation unexpectedly increases
Reply in thread
I know I've seen this on several websites today. What was everyone expecting? The only think I can think of is the old trope that Republican administrations are better for the economy. I have coworkers who were basically expecting miracles once Trump got into office. Things are probably gonna be bad.

Trump has been unable to get bond for $464 million judgment, his lawyers say
The fact that no bond companies would accept real property as a collateral for the bond and only liquid or easily liquified assets points to the properties being leveraged to the hilt. If he ends up having to pay even a portion of this and has to start selling properties we should see a true picture of his financial status.

Eyewitnesses say Nancy Mace called for man's arrest after he shook her hand
It sounds like a typical Republican trying to be a martyr. Hopefully there are enough witnesses to get these charges dropped or for him to be found innocent. On another note have we really reached the point where the word trans can't be published?

Trump must come up with the full bond amount to cover the $454 million civil fraud trial judgment, appeals court judge rules | CNN Politics
I don't understand why he would be allowed to borrow money for this purpose. Seems to me that would be an opportunity to commit more fraud by using properties at inflated values as collateral.

Ronald Reagan?! The Actor?!
Reply in thread
I had a history professor in college that once said in a lecture that it is impossible for someone who lived through something to view it historically because of perception and bias. I think of him every time I see something like this because it makes me wish I could live long enough to read historical analyses of stuff like Reagan's presidency. Hopefully history will be able to truthfully describe what he did to our country.

He's got to be fuming. He's managed to go 75 years without ever being held accountable by anyone for anything. And now it's happening. He'll drain the RNC by August.
