Then it was clearly a conspiracy to get sympathy before the electionTrump is "co-hosting" on Rush Limbaugh today. As of now he's been talking for 30 minutes with no commercial breaks and he sounds great. His voice is strong, he's joking around. It's a solid conversation all around.
Anyone that claims he's hiding symptoms or still suffering from ill effects of COVID is full of horse ****.
Bankruptcy does not change my opinion of people at all. The old thinking of my fathers generation is just that, old and outdated. So many acceptable reasons to be more forgiving today than in my fathers era. There is just so much beyond the people's control.
In 1977 a friend has a serious accident and needs high level orthopedic surgery, they had no insurance at that time, it cost just $800 for hospital, doctors, and all the rest. It saved his limb. Adjusted for inflation that $800 is about $2500 today, that surgery would cost $60,000 today. His family scraped and paid the $800, but to try and pay the $60,000 today? I would not look down on folks so situated filing bankruptcy.
A young couple buys a new construction house in 2006, with an FHA loan, just like huge majorities of us have for decades to get their first home. Then, due to Wall Street shenanigans the economy goes belly up, one of them loses their job, but so did many in their neighborhood, so home values are down and they have to declare bankruptcy. You looking down at them?
Unfortunately top level real estate is a very volatile business, and the fortunes can change through no negligence on the part of the developer. They are at a ridiculous level of dependance on politicians approval, and long term economic conditions. Any of that goes bad, and bingo a project goes bankrupt. Now get out of your head that bankrupt is bailing because in many cases it is not. It is a reorganization to give the developers time to get back on track. (I know nothing of Trump particulars.)
What standard should we hold you to? Let he without sin cast the first stone...
Without speaking to people that abuse the system, I can see bankruptcy protection being an encouragement to innovate and take chances. You know Henry Ford had an auto company before FMC, and it went bankrupt. I would argue that a way to prevent the failure of a company or idea from also ruining the man doing the innovation can only enhance innovation and invention
Well stated.
And true.
Would you kiss him? HMMMM?
So reducing it to a pragmatic level, you have 2 friends that want you to help out by loaning them a down payment on a car. One had declared bankruptcy a couple of times due to financial mismanagement not medical conditions or some other
unforeseen circumstances and the other hadn't, thr bankruptcies would not make your pros/cons list?

Ok, are you implying there is, not in the legal sense as we know there is,, and should be a difference in our perspectives between corporate and personal bankruptcy?
This seems like judgment that conflates poor financial decision-making with a poor morals/bad character. It may be unwise to loan money to someone who makes poor financial decisions, while that same person is otherwise of good morals/character.
Don't worry, I'll get him for you... with neg rep!
Would you kiss Biden? Or Harris
Next pointless grumpy old man question

Well if the reasons for the bankruptcy matters that would imply that your views on a person would be impacted by the bankruptcy at least long enough to find out why.
