    Unlike a Chapter 7 and 13, where a panel of private attorneys do the work of supervising the debtor and collecting the bankruptcy estate for liquidation or distribution according to a 13 plan, the only trustee in an 11 is the US Trustee and they are pretty hands off for a legit debtor. But like most court things, a judge, whether severe or lenient, doesn't exercise much power until moved to do so by one of the parties which includes the US Trustee in an 11.

    I'll take your word for it.  [HUMBLEBRAG]My wife (no pics) worked for the Chapter 11 Trustee for the Eastern District for 11 years back when she was a new/not so new attorney and did a lot of trustee support work, in addition to the cases the firm was pushing for consumers.  She's a real natural, and I don't understand much about what she does.  But she's 99% off the cuff with it after two decades of it.  I've been practicing as long and know some things about a lot of things.  But even though she never specialized and has done all sorts of things, that's her jam.[/HUMBLEBRAG]

    That is the correct and reasonable moral reaction for sure. But that is not what the bankruptcy trustee has a duty to do. And the bankruptcy trustee runs the show mostly.

    A trustee cannot say “this will really fuck Alex Jones. I’ll do that even though the creditors would get more money if he continues his broadcast. But fuck that guy…I hate Alex Jones.”

    The other thing is that there are many creditors. I would assume many of them want Jones out of business no matter how much they get. Money can’t bring their beloved children back.  But some of the families could probably use as much money as they can get out of Alex because they were awarded that by the court.    A bankruptcy is a weird intertwined set of people with their own individual agendas that the trustee has to wade through and come up with the best compromise for everyone.      just because we hate Alex that doesn’t mean we change the program.

    The vacation story is just Clickbait. 

    It seems to me, based on my observations, that the trustees are even shorter on their bullshit fuse than the judges, particularly in the Southern District (Houston).  As an aside, trustees clean up financially.  It's a lot of work, but what a gig.

    do you think you would have done better using a different supply or compound based on the same active ingredient?

    I theorize that having food spend a longer time in my stomach disrupted my gut biome over the long term, which may tend to explain the correlation between my taking a probiotic and the hiccups quickly abating (since I still was only a few days out from my last shot). 

     

    And since I have managed to lose more weight since coming off Ozempic than when I was on it, I don't see much of a reason to go back on it.  I was 249 when I started Ozempic.  I quickly got down to 229 on it.  There, I stagnated, mostly because I used it as a crutch to continue bad eating habits.  That's on me.  I made a lifestyle change (during the week) when I came off of it because I was very concerned about putting that weight back on.  This morning, I was 197.  I'm kind of stagnating again, and likely will put on weight over the weekend.  But 197 is a new low point since this all began for me.

     

    These drugs are a miracle.  They really are.  But I don't ever want to have another week like I had with those hiccups.

  5. Didn't he ask to transfer venue?  How about Vietnam?  He might want to stick it out stateside.  Plus, bone spurs.

    Hanoi CNN  — 

    A court in Vietnam sentenced real estate tycoon Truong My Lan Thursday to death over her role in a 304 trillion dong ($12.46 billion) financial fraud case, the country’s biggest on record, state media reported.

    That's a lot of dong.

    So Dark Tower question - should I read The Wind Through the Keyhole in between 4 & 5? Or read it last since it came out last? 

    I still haven't read it.  It's just a couple of side stories from what I understand.  If it's been a while since you read Salem's Lot, it might be a better tie-in at that point in the series.

  7. Like most things, there is a segment of the population that will have weird and negative side effects. I've watched a lot of YouTube videos by those 10% who get bad gastro issues, bad results, immune responses, etc. but for 90% (it seems, made up numbers) it seems safe and easy button.
    I was fine on it for a year and a half, until I wasn't. Oh well.

    Come to think of it, Trump's hands would most certainly have fit in those gloves.

    They just slow-rolled the trial on Trump.  Damn you, Garcetti!

    Will the trial be televised? If not I really hope the courtroom artist is a troll at heart

    It was all about the venue.  The DA should have filed the case in Santa Monica judicial district instead of downtown Los Angeles.  That is all that mattered in this case.  Everyone knew he did it.  The jury just did not care.

    Username sort of checks out.
