  • I’m pretty damn confident that this was a ship problem

    That’s so simplistic. Please look into the Swiss cheese model. Things shouldn’t break when just one thing goes wrong. There’s a load of things that could’ve mitigated things.

    E.g. better protection for the bridge (was decided it wasn’t worth it), could’ve required that tugs assist until big vessels are safely away from the bridge, maybe could’ve influenced the design of these vessels, etc.

    Saying it was a ship problem, nah, it’s a multiple of causes. Or worded differently, there’s loads of things to address possible fires in e.g. building and so on. Because just relying on everything always working perfectly is not realistic.





  • Remember, the court has a monitor watching the trump org approving every check and money transfer right now.

    The way you wrote that suggests something different than what the monitor does.

    For one, they monitor after the fact. Likely one a month and after book close. So they don’t monitor in detail while it is happening. Secondly, transfers above a certain amount need to be reported. That amount can be an aggregate. Those need to be reported and I think the monitor needs to ok them before they can be executed.

    That’s quite different from what you seemed to suggest, meaning that the monitor needs to approve every check.






  • Agreed, Trump lies. Often he’s still quoted and people expect that maybe something is true. With the 90 million (or so) bond he also said the amount should be lowered and that he had trouble. That was days after securing the bond. The deadline hasn’t passed yet. For the upcoming bond Trump lied by omission. The judge fortunately took action as a result. Better to see what happens.

    It’s good that various preparations are being made to seize assets. Still, too early to know what is going up happen.
