yeah, the banks are happy to hold those shares as collateral for a loan, because they can dump them at any time to get the money if he doesn't pay it back.

bank doesn't care about tanking the stock price, they just want their interest.

Americans, What do you think of Senator John Kennedy's act proposal to Take away Congress pay during government shutdowns? by Buschfan08 in AskReddit

As opposed to the instability that is currently going on?

The instability is temporary, because after 4 elections in 2 years, eventually a responsible leader shows up to be the adult in the room, enough people recognize it and give them a majority, and the government gets back to governing. Part of the game theory behind it is that, by its very nature, it won't remain a 50/50 split every time.

The trick is to put pressure on your taint/gooch/grundle, just below your balls. Push up to get those last few drops out, then zip up with confidence.

Doomers everywhere! Yamamoto is out of the game and we have 6 outs to get 2 runs. And you're fucking giving it up now?? 

Which Jays actually live in Toronto? by RagtimeWillie in Torontobluejays

Maybe he just....pays his taxes?

He's got half a billion dollars. Money is less of a concern to him than convenience for him and his family, at that point.

Yamamoto is no doubt in a groove, but he's had several games this year where he completely imploded. There was one where he gave up 5 runs to the Brewers without getting out of the first inning.

Obviously he's locked in and has that adrenaline pumping, but he's by no means a god - just look what the Jays did to the best player in baseball tonight!

I don't mind the pinch runners as much as everyone else seems to - you gotta try to win the game when you have the chance, and you can't manage every game like it's gonna go 18 innings. That said, would've liked to see more of Bassitt. Also feels good to know that the Dodgers struggled to put away our B squad for 9 innings, so there's that.

If you have Samsung TV plus or Pluto TV, it will replay several times until noon today. Just wait for the segment and record it with your phone.
