Pets.com went bankrupt within 12 months of its IPO. It was ahead of its time.

I’m resisting the urge to recreate r/Peloton (a sub about pro bike racing) before someone uses the name for a community based on those dumb exercise bikes.

Presidents keep their title so he’s still “President Trump”. I hope his prison guards will respect that.

This argues in favour of not prosecuting, right? As with “any other defendant”, the likelihood of securing a conviction is an important consideration — it’s just that the calculation is very different with such a high-profile and divisive figure. Nobody really benefits from Trump going to prison and the trials would cost a fortune. Better to bankrupt him with tax proceedings.
