Yah, they are. Wu said in one of her recent interviews they were going to be buying a house next year. Whether that's actually true I'm not sure. I can't work out Frank's finances. If Wu's congressional financial disclosure is accurate, BriBri seems to spend something like 75% of his salary on toys.

Frank's chief asset is something like 10K shares of Wave Life Science which I presume he got as a signing bonus when he was hired back before their IPO. I don't know if he previously owned more stock and cashed out some when they floated, maybe he got a big payday back in 2016. Hanging on to the shares seems to have been the smart move though, they're worth like 3x the IPO price today.

It's still not retire to a tropical island money though. Seems like Frank would still be paying off a mortgage after he retires.

They should have bought a house years ago but it was more important to spend $500k on a crazy tranny’s dream to play CEO of a game dev studio. Now, he’s spending $150k on cars. When the market corrects and Frank’s stocks go down the shitter, it will be fun to see what happens to John. Or when Frank croaks and the savings run dry like John’s mangled gash. He has nothing to fall back on, it should terrify him.

Further supporting this point: I just found out that a relative in MA whom I respect and consider immensely intelligent donated to the campaign. Why? Well, thank the Twitter stump speeches and the fluff articles from trusted newspapers and sites.

If the press had been remotely honest and asked real questions of Wu, she wouldn’t have received nearly as much in donations as she did.

I’ve always laughed at the far right for their paranoia about the media, but as others have said, Wu’s wooing of journalists is proof that respected publications didn’t do the bare minimum in ensuring accuracy. It really shatters the image the heroes of the field cultivated decades ago.

They werent investigative journalists that’s for damn sure. They’re just glorified bloggers who get paid to write fluff stories about nothing to fill quotas.
 
Yeah, Wu is pretty much the perfect symbol of just how fucking pathetic and contemptible the whole journalist industry has become....no....has ALWAYS been behind the scenes.

Like this is straight up on the same level of shambles as if Amy from Amys Baking Company was socially connected to a bunch of influencial (near universally through grandfather clauses or such) media people and openly used them and their influence to have most major national restaurant critic publications declare her the best chef in america and the victim of an eeeeeevil rapenazi troll conspiracy thanks to known alt right misogynist gordon ramsay.

....infact come to think of it the whole ABC thing really does forshadow this schtick doesnt it? Batshit insane and spoiled freak-woman starts screeching to the media about how she is being targeted by evil smelly hateful trolls who are threatening to rape and murder her, all while declaring the patently shitty products she sells to be the finest of their kind and herself to be a genius innovator in that field...

The idea that there is a media conspiracy about anything -- left wing or right wing -- is laughable. Most journalists are too stupid to organize a Chinese fire drill.

A big part of the problem we're seeing with the coverage of John's campaign is the misguided notion -- apparently epidemic in The Globe newsroom -- that unbiased reporting involves repeating what your source or sources say and letting the reader figure out the truth.

A simplified example: Source A says it rained at the Red Sox game on Sunday; Source B says it didn't rain at the Red Sox game on Sunday; Unbiased Reporter gives both statements equal play but never tells the reader which one is lying because that would inject editorial bias into the piece.

Rep. Lynch (let's call him Source B) bears a lot of blame in this situation because he's savvy enough to know that the lazy-ass, incompetent Globe isn't going to do any digging into the background of Source A (let's call him John) without someone giving the story a nudge by saying something like, "My opponent is not a software engineer and, except for a few shifts clerking at GameStop, has never worked a day in his -- oh, excuse me -- xir life."

Do secured loans work the same way in US that they do in UK?

I have something of value that wont seriously depreciate and I would like to use it as security on a large loan please.

Because the cars dont count, so WTF do the Wus have that they can secure a loan against?

I've always suspected that Frank has a house tucked away somewhere that he's not telling John about. No way does a guy earning what he does rent rather than invest in a house.

edit: I didn't remember right.

It does work that way, you put up an asset as insurance against the loan. In the US cars are used fairly often.

What Frank is saying is they got a Title Loan.
 
It should be moved back to this subforum because he is connected directly to John and so Warren can shitpost in it.

It's where trial cow threads go. If they prove their worth, they make it to the general Lolcows section. If not, the cornfield.

You're a known cow, which is probably why you can't access that part of the site.

Enh. I can see a case for Brian getting his own cow thread. He seems to have enough lulz potential outside of Brianna interactions to merit it.

As for Warren, I'd rather get information from reliable people before seeing the thread promoted. But I ain't in charge and hotpockets gonna hotpocket, so whatevs.

If he doesn't get his own cow thread I would love it if his thread returned here. I may be considered unreliable by some, but I am a first hand witness to his shenanigans.

How in the hell will they pay it back?

Frank still has a high-paying job, and they're going to conning so many people out of their tugboat dollars when the blue wave fails to materialize in a few weeks and "they need more money to fight trump in 2020".

Collateral can be used as a way to reduce an interest rate on a loan. If I have a $100,000 asset I put up against a $10,000 loan, the bank is going to give me the lowest interest rate because they don't need to factor in risk of default. So if you just need liquid cash fast, know you'll be able to pay it back, and have something with value you don't want to try to sell, you can use it as collateral and reduce your interest rate.

You can also put up other things. Stocks can be used as collateral; it might be cheaper for you to use them as collateral on a loan instead of cashing them out and paying taxes.

I bet the money came from Stephen Lynch as a thank-you gift for allowing him to run an effort-free campaign, and to encourage Wu to run again in 2020 so he can divide the vote with some progressive who could actually pose a threat to Lynch.
 
This is classic John. He can’t even muster up the strength to leave Twitter, and he announces his every move before he performs it!
 
If you want to know why the media doesn't call her on her shit, take a look at Julia Salazar.

Julia is running for state senate in New York and filled out the bingo card of all the things progressives are passionate about now. She was a poor immigrant from Colombia who was raised Jewish.

In reality she made the whole thing up. A news outlet interviewed her family and dug up all the records. Even found her registered as a Republican and part of a pro-life group a couple years ago.

That media outlet was trashed by people online for dating to report this. Other journalists claimed they had an agenda and claimed it was sexist. Mind you this wasn't even some right wing site.

So that's why no one will touch Brianna and her lies. It's not worth the backlash to report the truth and ruin the narrative.
