US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once agreed to occupy two different houses as his “principal residence” at the same time, mortgage documents show — the same kind of contradictory pledges that President Donald Trump has been using to try to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook.

Which scenario is an example of survivorship bias in evaluating business success?

A) Believing that reading business books increases revenue after finding many CEOs recommend them.
B) Concluding that most startups fail after analyzing bankrupt companies.
C) Thinking entrepreneurship is easy because most media profiles focus on successful founders.
D) Surveying customers to understand why they chose your product over competitors

1. Your next move will be to claim that you answered it by giving your definition, to which I replied that isn't the question...etc...etc...blah...blah...blah...
2. You will also say that you answered through your non-answers. 

Moron.

Deal: If Veghead can prove that he answered the survivorship multiple choice question, as the question is written and asked, along with his defense of his answer, then I will agree to never come back for as long as I live. If he cannot, then he is out of here for a month. Additionally, his defense cannot be "Because it fits my definition." That is a claim, not a defense. He is to defend why. 

Exception: I will allow for an exception. If he loses, then I will allow him to stay if he answers it the way it is asked, along with his defense. However, he must do it immediately after the deal has been decided. Not 100 posts later. The very next post of his must be his answer/defense.

Since it is behind a paywall I had to go with CNBC who added in a few details that Dum Dum left out, which is the norm for him.

Bloomberg’s new report noted that Cook’s and Bessent’s situations are not identical.

Cook had personally signed her mortgage agreements, while Bessent’s were signed on his behalf by a lawyer. And both of Bessent’s mortgages were with the same bank, while Cook’s were with two different banks.

 However, there is evidence that lenders knew Bessent’s and Cook’s actual plans for the respective properties.

Reuters reported last week that a May 2021 loan estimate indicates that Cook had called the Atlanta property a “vacation home.”Bessent’s representatives gave Bloomberg a statement from Bank of America, which said the lender understood “that the Bedford and Provincetown properties were secondary residences.”

 CNBC has requested comment on Bloomberg’s report from the Treasury Department and the FHFA.

 Charles Rich, the lawyer who represented Bessent in the 2007 mortgage agreements, gave a statement to CNBC.“I was Mr. Bessent’s attorney and agent under a Power of Attorney made in September 2007 when I signed a mortgage to finance the purchase of a new residence for Mr. Bessent in Bedford Hills, New York under a mortgage loan,” Rich said.

 “Concurrently with the 2007 closing, I executed a second mortgage on a property located in Provincetown, MA as additional collateral,” he said.

 “Bank of America was fully aware that the Provincetown, MA property was not a principal residence and waived any requirement that it be used as a principal residence,” Rich said.

Bessent is the second openly gay man to serve in the Cabinet of the United States (after Pete Buttigieg).
As the U.S. secretary of the treasury is fifth in the United States presidential line of succession, he is the highest-ranking openly LGBT person ever to serve in the federal government of the United States.

Anyone?

Charlie was critical of homo and tranny rights.

Bessent is the third.  Richard Grennell was the first.  He was Acting DNI under Trump in 2020.

Based on the information I have gathered.

Nevertheless, I am not pleased with Trump's selection. Bessent was employed by Soros; were you aware of this?

Bessent graduated from Yale College in 1984. In 1991, he was hired by Soros Fund Management, eventually becoming the head of its London office.

Certainly not eliminating the optics or chance of corruption by any means of the imagination.

What he DID see was that TRANNISM and your QUEER WAYS were a SICKNESS and needed to treated as such, Hell, he even REFUSED to condemn gays marrying other butt **** and carpet munchers!! HE SAID THEY HAD A RIGHT TO DO WHATEVER IN THEIR OWN BEDROOM. He ALSO said God would sort it all out in the end, so any CHOICE YOU MADE was on you then!!

Charlie was critical of same-sex marriage. 

In the United States, same-sex marriage is legal nationwide, granting married same-sex couples the same federal and state rights as opposite-sex couples, including benefits like tax filings, survivor benefits, and family leave, as established by the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges ruling in 2015 and codified by the Respect for Marriage Act in 2022. This federal law requires states to recognize all valid marriages, regardless of the couple's sex, and provides statutory protections for same-sex unions. 


Kirk railed against transgender rights in life, and just prior to being shot on a Utah college campus last week was answering a question about the alleged prevalence of transgender people among the nation’s mass shooters — an idea he had personally stoked, despite pushback from statistical researchers.

“Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?” he asked.
“Too many,” Kirk quipped. The crowd clapped and cheered.
Five, the audience member claimed.
“Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years?” the man continued.
Kirk leaned forward and picked up his mic before setting back into an upright position.
“Counting or not counting gang violence?” he said.
A loud “pop” suddenly rang out.Kirk lurched back and to the left. Blood splashed from his neck onto his white shirt. Voices gasped, exhaled for a beat, then rose up in screams of horror.

The show was over.

Undoubtedly a tragedy, and I don't support political violence. I have never been an admirer of Charlie Kirk.
