CLIMATE CZAR NOMINEE JOHN KERRY UNDER FIRE FOR PRIVATE JET USE

Private jets have been estimated to emit upward of 40 times as much carbon per passenger as commercial flights.

John Kerry's family still owns private jet as he leads climate fight, FAA records indicate

"Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records indicate that the family of U.S. Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry owns a private jet, despite his position on combatting fossil fuels in the new administration.

The FAA's registry shows a Gulfstream Aerospace jet owned by Flying Squirrel LLC, the name previously reported for Teresa Heinz-Kerry's private charter jet company. The company's listed address matches that of the Heinz Family Foundation.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment. Neither did the Heinz family office.

While it's unclear exactly how much Kerry benefited from his wife's company, private jets have been estimated to emit upward of 40 times as much carbon per passenger as commercial flights.

"We look forward to the anti-carbon lectures from a guy who travels the globe on private jets and luxury yachts," read a New York Post editorial last year.

During his 2004 presidential run, Kerry's campaign made 60 payments to his wife's charter jet company, totaling $273,171, the New York Post reported.

As late as 2013, his executive branch personnel financial disclosure showed Kerry owning "over $1,000,001" in assets for "Flying Squirrel LLC" through his wife..."

The vultures shorted more shares than even exist. Right now, the trading
companies are not allowing anyone to buy except to close a position. I gather
that some of the futures contracts come due tomorrow.

And a bunch of little folks who could only afford to risk a few hundred or a thousand
could double or quintuple their money in a couple of weeks. My son is in for a grand,
and he's hoping to sell for 5-6K. That's a lot better than the ~20-80% profits he makes
on his land business deals.

The short sellers are getting bailed out, and are not being pitied by folks on the Right
or the Left, and the sentiments of most reasonable center-Left and center-Right folks
tend to support the right of the little guys to get into the game for what they can get
out of it. This is a correction in the way that Capitalism is being practiced. What
amuses me is that the libertarian folks seem to relish the chaos, and want to see
less regulation, and the "reasonable center-Left and center-Right folks," while they
might see this as *what's good for the goose*, will likely be more supportive of more
safeguards.

IMO, the big mistake after the Great Recession was the way that Wall Street was
forgiven by the leadership of both Parties, and allowed to continue their risky
behaviors. In Iceland, the crooks were treated like crooks. The way to stabilize the
finance industry is clear, and that's through the tax code, treating capital gains on
equities held for only a short time in the same way as income earned for actual
work (wages/salaries). A tiny % surtax on trades would also make sense, as would
a significant increase in the cap on income subject to Social Security contributions.

It's not a choice between stagnant socialism and predatory capitalism. It's about
reasonable balance, reasonable equity, and maintaning both physical infrastructure
and the fulfilment of entitlements. They're called entitlements for a reason.
Financial promises are financial promises, whether they are from the government, or
a private entity.

We should have a social safety net, *and* robust profit incentives. The two are not
mutually exclusive. Ideological extremism is dangerous, and I contend that it is
likely to get a foothold only when there is discontent over economic inequity, which
breeds nutty populism.

Oddly enough, the Trumpeteres are totally unaware of the mortgage/housing crisis as well as the recession that followed. This narrative of things never happening allows them to see der fuhrer as leading America out of the economic darkness. What this means is that the US has a serious problem with facing reality. What this means is we're doomed as a nation.

Good luck with your son's scheme. It's a pretty risky one - or is it? My guess is that most of those gamer nerds are going to lose their fat, oversized. shorts. OTOH, a lot of them don't give a rip about that.
