Not if it is leveraged to hell and back. Odds are that a bulk is collateral for buying a social media platform and a presidency along with how he uses it to float his other companies.

The man is in his 70s so no but someone with his commitment yes

Is it really a new low? I meant he pretty much does the equivalent of this just about daily. It's pretty standard at this point.

If a judge can garnish my wages or dictate the terms of a company bankruptcy settlement then they should be able to take control of the payments relevant to their ruling.

Pretty sure he just paid for it.

I wrote it below but that's not the only way.

Other things like finding the IRS (8x the investment) and job placement programs return much much more than what is invested in them. It's like running a restaurant and pricing alcohol at cost while planning for apps to make us the difference, that's just not reality.

Granted this is still unpopular with lobbiests and would cost rich people money so them money

Not very effectively. Tariffs return less than the investment in them due to a slow down in the economy they cause.

The thing that always baffles me is that they never look to increase government revenue. Every company I've worked for the question was always 1 how to increase money coming in then 2 how to reduce money going out. In that order.

Just spin it as a car regulation instead of a gun regulation.

Him saying he knows more about manufacturing than anyone alive today is less descriptive than me saying I know more about the internet than anyonet. I work in manufacturing and the space is massive. What field if manufacturering? Because in the tesla alone there are dozens of separate fields of industrial manufacturing and he isn't even the preeminent expert in automotive manufacturing let alone any of the components in the car.

All major colleges and universities turn away thousands per year. They can still see fluctuations in enrollment. Applications and enrollments are not the same.

They may have just seen a drop in enrollment. For schools and universities had count is dollar count.
