"Hey Mr Cartel, you probably shouldn't try flying in any cocaine..


We'll handle it like those Fishermen of yours"

Eh. Interagency coordination and communication has always been trash, and I imagine there's very little time to decide whether or not to kill what might be a hostile drone.

The system is so fucked up that literal lightbulb-headed somali niggers are getting paid millions of dollars each to do nothing. Go get the bag and get your share of the pie!

I'm not nearly dark-skinned, ugly or stupid enough to pass that spot check.

Now do that so many times in every business that the entire thing is debt, what happens to the economy?

I guarantee every single business you ever worked for carried some amount of debt. Like it or not, debt is a necessary component of financial operations and has been for centuries. If, in your exaggerated example, all companies simultaneously lost their ability to service their debt, the economy would completely collapse and anarchy would ensue. Good thing that's very unlikely to happen.
Here's another hypothetical for you: You're a manufacturer who gets a historically big order, you use most of your free cash to buy necessary inputs for the order, and you produce/ship the order. Problem is, that big new customer is on net 30 terms so you won't see payment for a month, most of your cash is gone, and you have to meet payroll in 5 days. A rational business would turn to their credit line (debt!). How about you? Are you suggesting you'd instead turn down the best order you've ever seen?

CSAM enjoyer and registered sex offender Rene Campos is running for Fresno California City Council as a Democrat. Rene says, "I've experienced the laws that WE are trying to reform" (nitter). They're working to make MAP mainstream by chipping away at the public's resistance, just like they did with trans in the 2010's.

Sounds like you're in pretty much exactly the situation the program was actually made for. Give it a look.

LHC opened a worm hole and took us to clown dimension. It seems plausible.

You could pretend to be trans. I bet that would work.

I know without any shred of doubt I came from the dimension where the Berenstain Bears was spelled as "Barenstein" and the Fruit of the Loom had a cornucopia in it. I want to go back

Calling it right now, child rape will be fully legalized in America by this time next decade. The left will always get what it wants, and always at our expense.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Only the left is allowed to have nice things. They have accomplished more within just one year of a Republican presidency than the right has accomplished within the entire past decade.

 

[babadook]

God why are Republicans so addicted to losing, God forbid we do a thing every other country does and not assraped by foreigners... But no! Muh principles and muh constitution!

(God I hope Trump actually gets that voting EO done, actually gets to implement it (he probably won't) and finally ends this letting foreigners vote nonsense)

Woke is back

FATPACKS WON

The smell of curry and shit emanates so strongly from the burger suit with this statement. Only a witless jeet would confidently state that child rape will be fully legalised in America in such a short timespan.

The Bears I remember clear(I remember the spelling then not making sense). Mandela himself I remember was released and died later.

But goddammit that cornucopia had to be there.

What, is yours not?

You need someone to report back so others will know what happens.

Dude I get it it seems way simpler to just like have a profitable business and do it that way. I didn’t make the financial system. And I am not near educated enough to say why we need to fix it and even if I was I couldn’t anyway so

It seems everyone is throwing in their answer but what's another one.

Generally capital expenses are lumpy. It's also generally not a good idea to have your business just sitting on piles of cash (i.e. short term bonds). When people invest in a company or start a company they are doing so because they think that company will be doing something productive with the money they put in, not loaning out their money to other people to do something productive with it. If they wanted that, they could do so themselves.

Sitting on the cash forces every owner of the company to have a significant implied bond position that they may not want. In addition, it causes pretty massive swings in risk exposure where an investment in that company may go from 40% bonds while they are building up cash for a capital expense to 0% once it is all spent. We are talking about companies large enough to have minority share holders who do not have the final say in the company's choices and likely would not want to have such massive swings in risk exposure forced onto them.

When a loan is taken out you are increasing your exposure some, acting as leverage, but this should be offset by the value of what you purchased with it. And while it will generally represent a higher level of risk exposure per dollar invested, it also should be a more consistent level of risk exposure. Owners in the company can decide how much they want invested in risky assets like the company and less risky assets like bonds to get the risk profile they want instead of being subject to one with massive swings and a single profile for all owners

So if you're not hoarding piles of cash for capital investment, you have 2 options: Sell claims on future profits of the company (stocks). Or take out a loan (the other side of a bond you would invest in). The choice between the two just becomes a risk / reward tradeoff calculation the company must decide.

From a rational standpoint, a company deciding to take out a loan instead of selling off new stock means it believes over the long term the future profit share it would have to sell off to gain the capital is worth more than the cost of the loan. With a loan representing more risk for the current owners and selling off claims on future profits being less risky.

If there is only a single owner or just a couple of owners who share the same desired risk level, this becomes less relevant.

Could I be actually billing Medicare for any of this? Like, legitimately, not as a scam?

YES, please look into this, you probably deserve it more than 80% of these other niggers.

I watched the Amazing Atheist's reaction to the SOTU (he lost a bet that Trump would mention the ballroom), and they actually said nobody likes Vance compared to Rubio.
That's how out of touch leftists are with not just the right-wing but normies in general.

I've noticed a lot of a certain type of people have been pushing Rubio HARD for VP, but it's very much just a kosher twitter thing. Vance is much more positioned as the obvious choice for 2028, I like Rubio a lot though, but I think these kosher folks on twitter (who seem to be a lot of former desantis folks) are pushing him so hard because they think he will be a return to a more neocon admin.

What with the Kentucky Primary being in may, and the news about Crenshaw being primaried let's take a look at the Texas Primaries coming up on March 3rd.

Crockett and Talarico seem to be a toss up at this point, i've seen both up by double digits on both polls, that's gonna tight I would imagine. Here is a couple polls, they are all over the place.



who knows who will that out, of course Crockett would be the funny option, and I think a lot of Republicans are voting in this one. Texas has open primaries, meaning you can vote in the democrat or republican one, your affiliation doesn't matter. It will make the Paxton/Hunt/Corynn one a bit tighter.

Hunt seems to be a spoiler candidate, he's going to pull votes away from paxton imo.



Crenshaw and Toth hasn't had any polling i can find. All I have read is it will probably lead to a runoff in may, as neither can pull over 50.

Now for the funny as all hell one, Carter will most likely win, but the Shamwow guy and member of the tribe vince offer jumped in, the retard Valentina Gomez has been having a little meltie over the past few months. She used to critize AIPAC very hard, but she made a huge switch and actually became close friends with Loomer (she went to Charlie Kirk's funeral with her) she finished 6 out of 7 candidates in her last race in missouri for AG. The big question is if she can even hit double digits this time



All this said, any other interesting primaries coming up soon?

I DM'd a few chicks, literally 1 I think, the 'one' that got on me here, and all hell broke loose. For just asking if she was ok to talk to off site and all that, then I sent some dm's to a troll chick. That's all it really takes. They'll go on forever as if you asked for nudes and sent dick pics, and like I said to them will wonder why they're alone forever and guys hate women.

What on earth made you think that Kiwifarms is a dating site or that the women here aren't insane harpies? Have you never read a BP thread?
