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. --Bryan |

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. --Bryan |

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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nmxox3oqRZo |
