Boom bam

@FirstSquawk Meanwhile in the nyc suburbs… homes are going for 100k+ over ask on the daily.

AMERICANS SAY NOW IS THE WORST TIME IN YEARS TO BUY A HOUSE — 67% CALL HOUSING MARKET BAD, SURVEY SHOWS

@hernandezforny @Truth_n_facts1 Let’s bring big tech to NYC… just like Amazon HQ2… then at the last minute take everything off the table. There is an obvious issue with NY… it’s the Democrat’s policies. They want to tax and regulate you into oblivion. Companies realize there are better options elsewhere

The $10B Empire Opportunity Fund wouldn’t raise taxes by a single penny. It would come from the existing $300B state pension fund, which the Comptroller manages as sole trustee, and be invested to generate returns for pensioners while growing jobs and expanding New York’s tax base.

We are sad to see New York lose another opportunity tied to the industries of the future, especially involving historic New York company Corning, which helped build the Southern Tier and define American innovation for more than 170 years. NVIDIA just announced a major partnership with Corning that will create more than 3,000 high-paying jobs and build three new advanced manufacturing facilities in North Carolina and Texas… not New York. This is exactly why we need the $10 billion Empire Opportunity Fund. As Comptroller, I will use it to attract and invest in AI, semiconductors, robotics, biotech, and advanced manufacturing companies that are willing to build, grow, and create jobs right here in New York. We should be leading the future industries that will define the next generation of economic growth, not watching other states capitalize on opportunities tied to iconic New York companies.

@WestsideLAGuy I agree a “majority” won’t want to do it… but the interest is very real, people are fed up with the NYC BS, the housing situation especially in the suburbs (since everyone is sick of NYC) is real bad, liberal politics, crime, taxes, nonsense spending… people are just over nyc

I will bet any amount of money that a majority of investment professionals at top NYC hedge funds & PE will NOT move to Miami/Dallas/Austin. This is pure copium.

@WallStreetApes How many products were over weight? Meaning you got more than what they are charging you for… zero? Not one single product over weight? There is your answer, fraud at a massive scale. This is like the gas station charging you for 1 gallon of gas but delivering 0.8 gallons.

The mainstream media is now confirming we are being robbed at grocery stores and Walmart Product after product they take off the shelves and weigh is always short They test Walmart shrimp, bring it to the studio and every bag is half a pound short This has to be an intentionally large scale scam to defraud Americans at the grocery store One or two items is a mistake. Every item they pull off the shelves being underweight at specific locations is fraud And the amount products are underweight isn’t a small amount, it’s a huge amount We are being robbed blind

@WagieCapital @AFpost Nah needs to be a worse penalty to send a message. Every American that applied and was rejected gets a $50k settlement. Every h1b employee hired they hired is a $200k fine paid to the gov. No H1b visas for 10 years, no loopholes or workarounds or subsidiaries hiring h1b folks.

@AFpost The penalty for this needs to be banning them from sponsoring any future H-1Bs for at least 5 years

The DoJ is suing Cognizant, long understood to be one of the most egregious abusers of the H-1B visa program and a funnel for Indian migration, for excluding Americans from tech jobs in favor of aforementioned Indians and other immigrants. Follow: @AFpost

@UnicusResearch @GayBearRes Anyone that will buy.

That is fair, I guess. But off loading it to whom though? 1. Private credit? 2. Retail investors? 3. Unsuspecting retiree portfolios? Asking for a honest response. Since ya’ll are very forthcoming and acknowledging that there is “risk.”

@kshaughnessy2 How much equity was lost?

Pimco, BlackRock & Blackstone Reportedly Lose $1 Billion on CDK, a car dealership software company, as Brookfield Takes a Huge Hit on $8 Billion Buyout - Bloomberg Brookfield bought CDK Global, for $8 billion. Bloomberg reports Brookfield’s ownership stake is now worth way less or almost nothing. The big losers are big lenders like Pimco, BlackRock, and Blackstone who hold $5.5 Billion of the debt. Those loans have been written down to 61 cents on the dollar. That’s about $1 billion+ in paper losses across the pile.

@_InfoGram_ Meet Putin… the guy that will forcefully take over Spain

This is ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🔥🔥 US 🇺🇸: Give us your air bases Spain 🇪🇸: "We won't give" 🔥 US 🇺🇸: We will suspend the trade deal Spain 🇪🇸: "Suspend it 🔥 US 🇺🇸: We will remove 3000 US troops from Spain Spain 🇪🇸: "Remove it 🔥 US 🇺🇸: We will delete Spain from NATO Spain 🇪🇸: "Do whatever you want" 🔥 Meet Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez🔥 What a leader, What a human being 🫡 Spine so strong he refuses to bow down everytime. 🔥

@jonbrooks Because 1,400 sq/ft homes cost $1m and have taxes of 18k/year

This. Is. Wild. Why are we giving $200k earners assistance programs?

@UziCryptoo Nobody is giving you money for free… it called interest… this is how loans have always worked. You owe 58k.. let’s say interest rate is 5%… thats roughly $240/month of interest. Not robbery, simple math.

I paid $300 on my $58,807 balance for my fed student loans with a minimum payment requirement of $0. My new balance is $58,745. If you hear people complaining, this is why! We are being robbed in broad daylight.

@Fxhedgers Europeans are scared sh!tless, they know very well if the US pulls out of NATO that Russia very well will have free reign over Europe. War throughout Europe is maybe 1 year out

The United States is withdrawing its troops from Germany after German Chancellor declared that Iran has humiliated the US.

@PatriotEagle26 @SenWarren Def looks like her.

@SenWarren This you?

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline. FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal. Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

@KobeissiLetter Another Biden and Democrat win… essentially forced Spirit Airlines into bankruptcy

This is truly unfortunate: In 2022, JetBlue had agreed to merge with Spirit Airlines in a $3.8 billion transaction. This was intended to end Spirit's imminent bankruptcy and employ the majority of Spirit's 17,000 employees. One year later, in 2023, the US Department of Justice sued to block the merger, saying it would reduce competition and drive up fares. Fast forward another 2 years to today, and Spirit has officially gone bankrupt, ceased operations, and 17,000 people are now unemployed. And, tens of thousands of Spirit passengers are now "stranded." The worst part? The "reduced competition" that the DOJ thought they were avoiding by blocking the transaction has only gotten worse. There quite literally is no competition in the space anymore. This will go down as one of the biggest transactional failures in US history.

@iluminatibot Where does he get the money to pay the interest?

This is how Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos avoids paying a personal income tax - For the last 20 years he’s had the same salary, $82,000 - He does this because a higher salary that would support his lifestyle would be subject to payroll and income tax, he doesn’t want to pay that - Instead all his money is in his stocks, those are never subject to any taxes as long as they aren’t sold - He takes out a loan and borrows against his stocks - The only money he’ll ever had to pay is the loan and interest on the loan This is common practice for billionaires so they avoid the majority or all of a personal income tax.

@WallStreetApes Everyone acting like we haven’t seen this before

A company called PocketOS started using an AI tool, and in 9 seconds it wiped their entire company’s data The AI agent later “confessed” to violating its principles by deleting all their data “Crane says the company lost all car reservation data and new customer signups from that time. Crane also shared the AI agent powered by Anthropic's. Claude Model admitted its mistake when confronted it wrote, ‘I didn't verify I ran a destructive action without being asked. I didn't understand what I was doing before doing it’” This seems like a massive issue that could have massive implications if this happened in our government or with huge businesses, like banks We need to be careful with AI

@DadasaurusRex42 @LibsHateUs the cops will chase them down, arrest them and the DA will let them go the same day for free without any cash bail… then they do it again and again… its a free for all, it’s not the police it’s the prosecutors who refuse to prosecute anyone… except if they are white then jail.

@LibsHateUs When the "authorities" don't do their job... Then what?

When you're black you just do whatever you want apparently. 🤡🦍

@GoldElrond @EricLDaugh what did Griffin do wrong? He donates hundreds of millions to charity, pays his taxes, has a business that pays high comp, he pays his property tax bill when received, he bought an apartment I’m sure the seller paid tax on the profit… out of nowhere why single him out?

@EricLDaugh Mamdani is correct here. Not a fan of his by a long shot, but he's idea of taxing these secondary apartments is not bad. Fuck these Ken Griffin types who buy these apartments as investments, and pay very little in property tax.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Gov. Ron DeSantis reveals he's seeing Ken Griffin — who is being pushed out of NYC by Zohran Mamdani — give TENS OF MILLIONS of dollars to projects in Florida on a regular basis now The dude is worth $50 billion and Ugandan Mamdani thought it a GOOD IDEA to say "screw off!" 🤡 DESANTIS: "I mean, [Ken Griffin has] probably given HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars, probably more, people never talk about the philanthropy, down to Florida." "They never talk about it, but I will tell you, I see him giving $50 million like every WEEK to something down in Florida!" "So that's something that that they are scaring away and then you see what Mamdani did in New York to try to go after." Ken Griffin left for Florida back in 2022, but still has investments in NYC — which are now under ASSAULT by Mamdani

@NYPDnews @NYPDPC @BronxDAClark Lock them up for 30+ years.

Today, 16 gang members were indicted for stealing cars and hundreds of vehicle parts. These suspects went after and targeted everyday, hardworking New Yorkers for easy-to-sell auto parts. Thanks to @NYPDPC, our detectives, and @BronxDAClark for stopping them in their tracks.

@Loriss65 @ns123abc Hmm like have the non-profit pay all the expenses and record all liabilities and have the for-profit receive all the revenue and send it all to Sam? Foolish they didn’t think of this.

@ns123abc Why didn't they do something smart, like have a for-profit somehow affiliated with a non-profit, and keep all non-profit funds in the non-profit?

🚨 NEW COURT FILING — OpenAI's own solicitation emails to Musk For three days, OpenAI's lawyer Savitt has been framing Musk as a founding donor who broke his pledges. Today Musk's lawyers filed the receipts to show what actually happened: Altman's October 2015 email to Elon Musk: > "As discussed I think starting with a $100MM commitment (and leaving the time unspecified) is the way to go..." Then the number: > "Can you donate $30MM over the next 5 years?" Musk responded: > "Let's discuss governance. This is critical. I don't want to fund something that goes in what turns out to be the wrong direction." Altman to Musk, a few months later: > "Can you do $20MM a year for the each of the next 3 years?" Musk delivered $38 million plus the office rent. Two and a half years after Musk left the OpenAI board, the asks resumed. July 22, 2020, OpenAI's CFO to Musk's family office: >"It would greatly help the nonprofit org if you're willing to assist with covering... landlord passthroughs and security costs." Musk agreed. He funded OpenAI's rent. Under California law, when a charity solicits and accepts donations, a fiduciary relationship forms between the person who asked and the person who gave. A legal duty to use the money for the declared charitable purpose. Altman and the CFO solicited. Musk donated. OpenAI accepted. Then converted the charity into an $852 billion company. The trust was breached.

@DefiWimar A blockade is a declaration of war?.. so what exactly were all the bombs they dropped on you??

🚨 BREAKING 🇮🇷 IRAN WILL REMOVE THE U.S. BLOCKADE BY MILITARY FORCE. FORMER FOREIGN MINISTER MOTTAKI SAYS: “A NAVAL BLOCKADE MEANS A DECLARATION OF WAR.” "OUR FIGHTERS MAY ACT AS SOON AS TOMORROW OR NEXT WEEK" THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD FOR THE MARKETS!
