This isn't a "typical" stock dump a la Burr, Loeffler, Inhofe, but rather Johnson selling a chunk of a plastics manufacturing company whose CEO is... his brother. March 2nd, right before the huge crash.
The company, Pacur, isn't publicly traded so there isn't a stock price. Johnson just sold his stake to what looks like a private equity firm. It's unknown if the PE firm knew what was about to happen with COVID 19. plasticsnews.com/news/private-e…
Honestly not sure which scenario is worse. Johnson owning part of a plastic manufacturing company and then dumping his share of ownership before the crash for $5-25M or the "simple" stock shorting done by Burr, Loeffler, Inhofe.
Johnson reported owning 5% of the company (Pacur) in 2016, valued at $1M-5M: disclosures.org/wp-content/upl…

Healthcare controlled by your employer is a means of slavery.
Employers control so many American’s wellbeing. We need to shift the power to the employee. We need UBI.
How can we be considered a “free” society when employers control everything from wealth to health to purpose? Give money to the people every month and let them spend their money how they please.

This hurt my heart to listen to. google.com/amp/s/www.vox.…
I don’t care who women support politically when they share their experience of alleged sexual assault. They deserve a voice even if (and especially when) you disagree with them politically, socially, etc.

$1200 check is going to do WONDERS for me. $800 is immediately going to my small business LLC tax and then i’ll be drunk with power with $400.
And because the $1200 is taxable I’ll probably be in the hole. Thank you DC!
Woe is me isn’t a good look but this is good case study as to how completely insufficient this bill is. My business lost approximately 20% of subscribers. I’m not going to be able to use any of this stimulus money to help with that.

Boris Johnson is/was advised by Steve BANNON – Trump’s campaign manager & VP of the notorious, now-shuttered electioneering firm Cambridge Analytica, which he co-founded in 2014 w/ hedge fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who also backed the Breitbart sites.
bylinetimes.com/2019/06/12/bor…
📌Johnson and Bannon became friends when Johnson was still Foreign Secretary and Bannon was still in the White House in early 2017.

📌They have been in contact ever since and the fruits of this friendship have been evident for some time

"Shillington was the CEO of Hilco Technologies, a Grand Rapids plastics manufacturing company. As CEO, she was paid an annual salary of $175,000."
justice.gov/usao-wdmi/pr/2…
"Between June and September, 2017, she defrauded the company of $1,397,000 by submitting phony invoices for payment and pocketing the money. She used the stolen money to purchase and furnish a lavish home in Ada, Michigan."
"When purchasing the home, Shillington forged a letter, supposedly from Hilco’s Board of Directors, explaining how she legitimately possessed large cash reserves to make a down payment on the residence."

1/Musk avoided bankruptcy last summer by selling egregiously overpriced high margin variants to credulous poseurs on the wait list.
Effectively, he cherry-picked the dumbest consumers in California and conned them into paying $60,000 for $25,000 cars.

2/Unfortunately for Tesla, the supply of people willing to pay $60,000 for $25,000 cars was exhausted very quickly; the backlog evaporated after the low-hanging fruit was plucked and juiced.
He’s trying to repeat the process in Europe and China, but it’s not working

3/(Apparently, consumers in those markets are more discerning.)
Tesla only managed to eke out tiny profits in Q3 and Q4 because he cherry-picked high margin cars, slashed warranty reserves, cut cap-ex, and sold hoarded regulatory credits.
