I'm not a bank, I just play one on TV.

This would be like you didn't like the last 80 years of CLE requirement updates, wrote yourself an independent bar card in crayon and sold them to others, and were shocked when you were disbarred by your jurisdiction

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.

Normally when an investment bank wants to invest in I dunno, say oil, they'll go get an oil guy At SoftBank though I think they just rip through a baggie of nootropics and watch ted talks at 2.5x

Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Five of the past 10 years have had storms with an "M" name reach category 5, make landfall as a major hurricane, and cause 50+ deaths and $10B+ in damages: Matthew, Maria, Michael, Milton, Melissa (TBD but seems certain). Watch out for Marco next year.
