What are you doing Kyrsten

[babysdaddy 2728]

Right, HF long term holds would be 12 months. PE 3-5 years so def for them no big deal. And VC is longer than that.

Anyhow, she’s going to get whatever she wants (within reason) and vote yes

GOP helped fast track a 43 year old Dem election lawyer/former Sinema staffer to a lifetime appointment on the 9th circuit to get her to scuttle the deal.

50 days to be confirmed, fastest since the 90s. The GOP didn’t play games with it because they thought they could get on Sinema’s good side if they fast tracked her former staffer and get her to kill reconciliation

Apparently the text has or will have a 1% tax on stock buybacks. Generates $59 billion more than the carried interest provision. The Politico article says the new text with Sinema’s changes may increase the overall savings per year

Pharma companies have shifted their r&d spending to acquisitions because the hit rate on internal r&d was so low. 

Regardless, that guy sucks.  And I don't see too many cures for cancer or alzheimers.....only treatments.  As the man said, more money being made treating a disease than curing it

Well then they shouldn’t use R&D spending as reason to charge so much for the drugs that make it to market. 
 

it’s obviously way more cost efficient to buy IP that has already had some level of testing already done.

That does not appear to be the case: https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/07/democrats-senate-reconciliation-votearama-00050222

She voted for it and it passed the Senate. Now it’s on to the House. She can only fuck it up now if the House makes changes she doesn’t like and sends it back to the Senate. Nothing is certain until Joe signs it but for now the Manchin and Sinema hurdles have been cleared.

Also the House is only at 430 right now so 216 needed to pass (simple majority). Dems have some wiggle if 4 members want to vote no, but the SALT caucus has said they are a yes and the Progressive caucus said they’ll pass it

I know a woman she apparently dated for a while a few years ago, trans woman at that, don’t know about in the sack. I say apparently because like kyrsten this other woman is a self absorbed narcissist and probably can’t be trusted to accurately reflect the facts. I’m sure there was something but how serious is unconfirmed. I bet kyrsten is seriously uninhibited for sure but I suspect extremely selfish in bed, which I would find to be a total and complete turnoff, those of you that can orgasm on sight might not care. But to keep the thread on track, thankfully she’s not fucking the climate anymore. YMMV.
