The canonical answer is of course "one leg is both the same," but the soup does taste brighter with probably just big fan.

I've been having this conversation with friends and family for at least a year. America and our relationship with the world is about to be fundamentally changed, and I don't think most (white) Americans are going to be ready to not be centered the way we were before.

"Thank god--pardon the expression--they're sending Blahphomet. Cannot stand the fucking guy. At least he'll be in the field for a good few years and I won't have to listen to him go on about the curtains in Pandemonium."

Fortunately the Gays of Hormel are still on the job for all of your chili needs.

Iran has choked off 90% of the world's chili reserves by closing the Straights of Hormel

Petitioning America to spring the clocks forward this weekend and then never change them again.

Standard time sucks, long live summer time!

I need to renew mine and tbh the thing that's making me put it off is having to get the pictures taken.

In the old days of lending to entities like these, the loans had pretty strong covenants and were almost always collateralized--often with the company itself. During the GFC this kind of debt actually held its value really well because of the high recovery rates.

But these are different animals.

FWIW default of middle-market or smaller corporate obligors is not at all unusual. Companies are failing all the time, and the proximate causes are almost always idiosyncratic to that company.

But defaults do tend to cluster, because market stress can push marginal companies over the edge.

Sure, but there's never just one cockroach.

A writedown in credit is recognition of principal loss. When you write it down to zero, you're saying "This is totally worthless and we never expect to receive or recover anything from this debt instrument."

Who could have imagined that something like this would start happening in a credit asset class where demand entices issuers to create riskier and riskier exposures? Never happened before, surely. /s

Saw the "OMG why are 40 & 50 year old people even ON social media?" post & my first thought was, "What do you think *should* happen, kid? Should we all just do a Logan's Run?" & then I realized this child has never once in their life heard of Logan's Run & I turned to dust & my ghost is typing this.

Vassar. Absolutely brutal. Asked one coed to debate me about women's suffrage being the worst thing that happened in the history of civilization and she was like, "Who the fuck are you? Get out of my room, creep. I'm calling security."
