FTC Bans most Non Compete Clauses
This is going to get held up in court for years and employers and are going to do what they what they are already do in California - make the non solicit and confidentiality provisions in the employment contract operate suspiciously like a non compete and dare the employees to sue.

Iran attacks Israel attacks Iran
This looks even worse than not responding. I mean, I'm happy Israel didn't do something over the top, but what's the point you're making by sending a few drones into the desert?

coffee / coffee makers
I recently bought a NextLevel Pulsar brewer, and I couldn't be more pleased. It's super easy to use and produces a really consistent, delicious cup.

You wanna let Timothy McVeigh or El Chapo walk out of prison because we haven't had the trial yet? There are good arguments against the current bail system, but this isn't one of them.

LOL. Trying to imagine the annual proxy of a single Chick-fil-A franchise. The Company's material risk factors include Ted getting too stoned to man the fryer or a disgruntled customer with a one-star vendetta on Yelp. The summary comp table includes the owner and a couple of teenagers who incurred a lot of overtime.

My first thought as well when they launched a drone attack that would take hours to get there. This is a response with an intent to de-escalate. Or so I hope.

No wonder there is now reporting that the deal is falling apart.

This story, about this Alabama pastor...
I’m just glad that reporter is “at peace” with his story. I was worried he’d have like, some lingering guilt or whatever for driving a man to suicide, but glad he was able to avoid that.

Kim Mulkey to LSU
Forget suing them for libel, she should send the WaPo a thank you card. That's far nicer than I ever imagined.

That's all political. The lack of prosecution from the GFC was a political decision and one made above the heads of the SEC (which I can't believe I'm defending).

A securities law suit isn't an SEC investigation. I disagree with your assessment of the SEC as well.

Yep - this board is a class action securities lawsuit waiting to happen.

Baltimore Bridge Disaster
This and the Bay Bridge in SF always freaked me out when I lived in the West Coast. You know those quakes are coming eventually, and with the Bay Bridge, you can be stuck there for an hour or more during a busy part of the day.

I love Vince to death, but when we all said he'll never have to buy another drink in this state again, I'm not sure we knew what we were in for.

On your first question, yes. On your second question, there's usually a whole road show of publicity before you IPO. So the investment bankers that you engage have a good idea of who will buy what. But if no one buys or no one buys in the amount and at the price that you think they will, the share price craters.

Yeah there are special deals cut all the time. You need the underwriters and the board to agree to it though.

Not exactly. Think of a SPAC entity as just a holding company with nothing in it (there's some cash, but we'll ignore that for purposes of keeping it simple). The SPAC is publicly listed, which is an easy process since it has nothing in it. The SPAC entity searches for a private company to "merge" with, but its generally just an exchange of shares of the private company for shares of the publicly traded SPAC entity at an agreed upon valuation. The private company likes this because its a much easier way to go public instead of the traditional IPO process, but there's is an exchange of cash during the merger. Just shares of a public traded company. Those shares are typically subject to the 6 month lock-up.

I know nothing about Truth Social, the SPAC entity, or the investors, but pretty much every company that goes public has a 6 month "market standoff" or "lock-up", where employees and shareholders agree not to sell any shares on the public market for 6 months. The idea is that if you get to an IPO, you don't want all your key stakeholders cashing out and messing with the early trading post going public by flooding the market with shares. I can't imagine the investors and bankers would let him sell all of them because that would hose everyone else, but maybe they permit some portion to help him with the liquidity crunch? These are, after all, investors and bankers who are working with Truth Social, so I'm sure they're all probably knee deep in the cult.
