Business is tough. Companies don’t all make it. There’s no shame in that.
It’s not like he bankrupted a fucking CASINO or something like that.
THREE casinos lol
Casino: a business where the revenue stream consists mostly of, "You give me money. I give you less money back."
Yup. Casinos may as well be money printing machines. It’s essentially a mint. It just produces money after more money. How the fuck do you bankrupt THREE casinos. Holy shit.
Here's my take.
Trump was in bed with the Mafia since dad gave him that small $1 million loan to get started.
But the real top bosses took one look at Donnie and fobbed him off on the second stringers. The top guys get the money, and the mooks hold Donnie's hand and show him where to sign.
So, Donnie learned from really dumb crooks. A smart crook would have kept all three casinos going, made legitimate profits and done ten times as much business laundering money.
Donnie thought he was a genius doing a bust out* that made him less money, but looked cool.
*Bust out. A legitimate business gets taken over by the mob. Starts ordering all kinds of high end merchandise. Don't pay for anything and sell the stuff cheap to other crooks. Eventually the legit business goes bankrupt, but the crew doesn't care.
Money laundering does seem likely. It is diaper Donnie after all
Not just likely. The business was fined for undeclared foreign funds. This got mostly ignored as it was in the process of going under.
Because you use them to launder money.
No, casinos sell dreams. Now is that something worth buying is an another question
No one could have predicted this.
nope. If only someone said this would happen and tried to warn the country. Wishful thinking, i guess.
No Republican could've predicted this.
FTFY.
The thing about his bankruptcies is HE still got paid. So they don't make any difference to him.
Just like he doesn't care what happens to this country as long as he gets what he wants.
He and his buddies are definitely getting rich off insider trading, on top of the bribes. You can bet on the economy going down, too, and it's easier to induce when you're the government.
You’re definitely right. He’s enriching himself (and, by extension, his billionaire buddies, though the only goal is enriching himself because he’s a self centred pos) and that’s all he cares about. America? Meh. World politics? Meh. More money for him? “SIGN ME UP!”
USA! USA! USA! We did it everybody! Once again, victory comes as easy as a homemade, baked-from-scratch, double-crust, lattice top apple pie made by the housekeeper I hired illegally and continue to pay slave wages to by threatening to report them for deportation. What, I'm contributing to the local tax base because they pay sales tax on the stuff they buy, you should be thanking me!
/s
/s because it's important
/s in case it's a toggle
It's a tri-state 😓
Maybe you should have elected a racist rapist intead!
Damn. That’s what they did wrong
Are you saying becoming a US president doesn't make a pedophile rapist into Sun Tzu?
Is this how Twitter works now? Someone writes something useful in a decent place, then the first shill summarises, and the second shrill summarises the summary without even making it shorter? It's like going to YouTube to see a reaction video of a reaction video 🤯🤯🤯 but at least there I know it's actual people because AI can't properly fake videos.
I think this is how Twitter currently works. Users share informative information, than an influencer encapsulates it, while another influencer comes along and encapsulates it again but without reducing the length of the prior encapsulation. It’s roughly analogous to video-sharing platforms and reaction videos, however unlike those we can’t rule out the text isn’t an LLM.
This is huge. A commenter on Lemmy just discovered this simple hack that has been plaguing social media since the 90s. Read to the end to understand how. So this Lemmy commenter replied to another comment--this is so unchained, this is why I love social media--that was itself a reply to an image of some other replies originally spotted Garfield on reddit. They found that you can get people already primed for scrolling to read pretty much anything as long as you provide an engaging emotional framing for the pointless content.
You need spoiler tags the hide the ending until I pay $5.
People are a problem.
The solution is better people, which luckily we know how to make
people, which luckily we know how to make
Instructions clear, I'm going to have sex now
Nooooo oh alright
(With education, not eugenics)
I see what you did here.
Here's $5 for the advertising you did on my post /s
We just need to ratio the original now
Something like half of the US can't read at a 6th grade level. They cannot read and understand the complex writing at the bottom.
Those ungrateful little shits!
For short clips, I think that this kind of "this guy said this" content is very achievable for AI - example (tbf this one is still 'person-based' as it's motion capture)
Turns out when you alienate all your allies, they don't like you anymore for some reason.
Its almost like he is purposely trying to destroy america to keep his child rape tapes hidden.
Also, insider trading.
Republicans are truly the party of slamming your dick in the door.

Of all zeit?
Claiming to be second or third greatest isn't that catchy. Also, the original one was Feldherr (~ Commander), despite there have been others from that category previously more successful than him.
Awww c'mon who could've seen that coming
Good thing alluminum is recyclible. Just make sure it isn't being thrown away or only used in exports.
There are different grades btw, recycled aluminum isn't used for most aviation or military stuff in general due to regulations on purity and such. But I guess that's a positive for the world regardless.
From looking it up, it seems like making new aluminum from alumina ore is a massively energy intensive process, whereas recycling aluminum is just about melting it so takes a lot less energy.
It seems like, if the demand were there, it would be easy to make ultra pure aluminum from beer cans etc. It's just that right now there's enough demand for lower purity aluminum that the recyclers aren't bothering to chase the market for the ultra-pure stuff.
According to my friend who used to work with that stuff, the bigger "problem" is mostly with regulations and balancing the risks; the damage potential of an aircraft accident (loss of life, brand reputation, recalls, etc) is exponentially more expensive than however much you'd save in production costs. Closed-loop recycling is usually the focus instead. But it would of course be cool.
At least that's kinda Airbuses viewpoint on it. Boeing on the other hand might be fine with delivering dodgy stuff and bribing away any possible fines ;)
It makes sense if everything that comes out of a ore-to-aluminum system is very pure whereas the stuff that comes out of a recycler isn't guaranteed to be as pure. You could probably set up some kind of quality control pipeline to ensure that the recycled stuff you were buying was top purity. But, that would add expense. It's also an untried way of doing things, whereas the ore-to-aluminum pipeline is probably well known and trusted.
There's probably a price where it makes sense, either ultra-pure recycled aluminum gets cheap enough that it's worth switching, or the aluminum that comes from ore is too expensive. But, until then the current system works and nobody wants to potentially be blamed for causing a crash by trying to save some money.
Just playing 12D chess boys…
