That's not how salary works. This isn't 1960, employees don't sign term-limited contracts for salaried employment. They just don't give you any raises and let inflation erode your wages over time.
I mean, the hourly non-union employees at my workplace got a paycut in an attempt to run them off, so it does happen.

Good, Stephanopoulous knew what he was doing, and the excuse will be the judge after the case tried to say "even though the jury said Trump didn't rape her it really did mean rape because I said even any unwanted touching is sexual assault" but just sue them non-stop, use the power of Null to make them retract.


edit: I know it will be a hard thing given their borderline monopoly status but please don't buy any Tyson products:

Tyson's chicken niggers have been pure watery rubber since 2010.
Every time a company exposes it's ass for a good boycotting, it's something that I haven't been buying for a long ass time or never payed for in the first place.

can't wait for Madow 2 excuse to happen because orange man is bad.
Tyson Foods has always been cheap chicken goy sloop. Tyson's thing about illegals is boring mask slip.
Robert Reich is certain that Trump is Hitler reborn.

NO, he will be bound by optics & more lame duck unless it's a war booner for the Middle East.
I halfway expect him to try to go back to Abraham Accords & end both the insreal & Russian war.
 
He has appealed. It's just that without the bond, the enforcement isn't stayed, and they can take his companies, and he has very little recourse against it.
I think the real takeaway we can all get from this:

Approximately 30 companies capable of fronting half a billion dollars as a matter of standard business have all declined to front Trump the money, as they want cash collateral, and they don't consider his real estate holdings to be a reliable risk for collateral. It goes to show what the big money types think about the future of real estate, even in the short term. That's a bit chilling, and it should be for any of us who own property.

EDIT: If they're right, Trump having his property seized might be a blessing in disguise. He gets a current market value returned to him by the state of NY after he wins on appeal, all the while, real estate prices have tanked. (And let's be honest, he would have held onto what they might seize out of his pride, and stupidly had his property values tank on him for the mistake.)

The new York government intends to deeply discount their valuation of his properties and I don't know if Trump could sue for the valuation at the time of seizure. Also doing so might trigger the new York real estate to go into a panic.
 
There were/are a few fabs in the PNW but the anti-business climate is apparently not worth cheap power and water, and for a time, mostly white people.

I would pay ticket price to watch some ignorant hood rat quota hire give a 350 million dollar EUV machine some percussive maintenance during its duty cycle because "It was making some weird fucking sounds bro".

Hell, the extremely strict clean room rules would probably be the death knell. Fakes nails and Weave ain't compatible with micron-particle level ISO standards, and you genuinely cannot even consider loosening those standards - a sufficiently large airborne mote can ruin a ten thousand dollar run.
I have worked in factories in the Deep South. I can confirm nigger factor is off the charts and accounts for 75% of scrap and injuries. Trying to get them to inspect the material before running it is non existent. And god forbid you try to write someone up for not doing their required quality checks. They will be running to HR in a heartbeat for “muh racism”.

1st lawsuit was set the case up to discount the rest of his properties.
:optimistic: He will be lucky if they even add up to the value of the court judgment. (it won't)
 
might be an element of concern that the state is just going to gank the property citing the landmark case of Orange Man vs Bad
That would prevent them from doing so if a company bankrolled it, since the firm would be fronting his penalty.

Yeah, I don't see that working ultimately as it makes it's way to the Supreme Court, which I think this will inevitably reach. Say they take $2b of his assets to cover what they sell in a half billion settlement. They still took $2b of his assets, and I think he'd get a win at the SC with that. So basically, NY tax payers end up footing a bill of $1.5b for some OrangeManBad drama with no actual return. Likely they deserve it, but how fucked up is that. Never let sheboons into any position of authority. If they don't just fuck themselves, they will also fuck over anyone behind them.

To the last bit, I think this is going to send NY real estate into a panic regardless, at least until this gets tossed out by a higher court. It might even destabilize the entire country's real estate markets.

Someone correct me if wrong, but this is my understanding of what happened in a more manageable size (I'll go thousands instead of millions).

1. I have a house that I pay a private firm (a very respectable one) to appraise. They appraise it at 600k.
2. I have a written offer from a third party offering me 800k for my house as is.
3. I have already contracted and paid another company to install a pool and a garage at my house, which I have costs of 50k. However, the appraisal and the offer were made without the upgrades I've paid for and are slated to begin.
4. I, therefore, fully disclose the appraisal value, the offer I received, and the upgrades I have underway to a bank to whom I am applying for a loan, and to use a value of $850k , justifying it by showing that my upgrades and a standing offer show it's current market value is reasonably $850k.
5. I ask for a bank loan based on that collateral to start a business.
6. I suggest the bank do their own due diligence if they disagree or have concerns.
7. They accept my valuation for the purposes of the loan, and grant it. I make all my payments and pay off the loan. There is no complainant.
8. My municipal government, who hate me personally, step in and say that the city property appraisal puts my house's worth at $220k (don't rem the number in Trump's case, but it was something like this.) Anyone who owns property knows that assessed value of property by the government is wildly out of whack from what the market indicates and performs to.
9. My municipal government then takes me to CIVIL court, without a complainant, for fraud, due to me sharing with the bank everything I have about how I arrived at my property appraisal, simply because their governmental assessment is different.
10. Add in the insanity of what actually happened during the trial, which is even much more complex and egregious than that, and blatantly a-legal, and here we are.

What sort of panic would that precedent set in your local housing market? I know I would seel before the day could even hit the next appeal.
 
Watching NY slit its throat financially has been really interesting. Excluding all their other rake steps: There is no coming back from seizing private property through questionable legal maneuvers. It would be insane to buy property, start a business, or make any kind of investment within the borders of the state ever again.
