[09:26]	TR News	"Like so many crooked officials, Trump's brand is "He steals, but he works" (except of course that he doesn't at any given moment, odds are that he's either taking a nap, watching Fox News, or playing golf)" https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/02/corprophagia/#that-makes-me-smart
[09:27]	TR News	"merely claiming "the system is rigged" doesn't actually win the day. If you want to convince people that the system is rigged, it really helps if the system is actually rigged" https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/02/corprophagia/#that-makes-me-smart
[09:27]	TR News	"Take stock buybacks, a form of stock swindle that was illegal until 1982. In a stock buyback, a company buys its own shares on the open market." https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/02/corprophagia/#that-makes-me-smart
[09:28]	TR News	"In a market system, stock prices are supposed to reflect the aggregated information about the health and prospects of a company. When a company buys its own stock back, though, its price goes up while its value goes down."
[09:29]	TR News	"What's more, the drop in corporate valuation is more than the billion the company just blew on its buyback. A company with no cash reserves is brittle and prone to failures. Without a cash cushion, any rent shock, change in market conditions, or other adverse incident will leave the company scrambling to borrow money (at punitive rates, thanks to its desperation) to weather the storm."
[09:29]	TR News	"This is just stock manipulation, which is why it was illegal until 1982. But apologists for this system will tell you that a stock buyback is just a dividend by another name just another way for a company to return value to its shareholders, who, after all, are the owners of the company and entitled to extract those profits."
[09:30]	TR News	"Contrast that with buybacks: to do a buyback, the company need merely spend its free cash flow, or money it borrows, or money derived from the sale of key capital, or money saved through mass layoffs, to buy its own stock. Then the share price goes up."
[09:30]	TR News	"I used to think that this was the whole stock buyback story, but as is ever the case with finance, buybacks are fractally corrupt. This week, I've been reading Boston College law prof Ray D Madoff's book The Second Estate: How the Tax Code Made an American Aristocracy, and I've learned even more scummy truths about buybacks"
[09:31]	TR News	"Here's how that works: if you're sitting on a bunch of stock, you can stake it as collateral for a loan that is tax-free. Better than that, if you're smart, some or all of the interest on that loan is tax-deductible."
[09:31]	TR News	"If you're rich enough, you don't have to make regular payments on the loan, either you just wait as the stock continues to grow while your loan is maturing, and when it's due, you borrow even more money against the new valuation and pay off the old loan."
[09:32]	TR News	"Buybacks, then, are part of a system whereby rich people get much richer every time a company that makes something good and employs ordinary people guts itself and sets itself on the path to bankruptcy. Meanwhile, working people don't benefit from this system, even if they own stock"
[09:32]	TR News	"This is why buybacks have apologists. Buybacks a stock swindle that was illegal in living memory make rich people richer, and they spend some of that loot to fund an army of reply-ghouls who push the message that buybacks are dividends by another name."
[09:33]	TR News	"The ripoff economy is baked into the American experience. It is the foundation of Trumpism. It is the financial basis for things like "Project 2025" literally! The Heritage Foundation (who created Project 2025) was founded and funded by the founders of Amway, a destructive Ponzi scheme that was rescued from criminal prosecution"
[09:34]	TR News	"America is not great. It has been gutted by the Epstein class, who robbed us blind, raped our kids, and are now selling us shitcoins and chatbots and the spectacle of protesters being shot in the streets. But it's not enough to know that the system is rigged. Everybody knows the system is rigged. To build a movement and save our future, we have to know how it is rigged and who rigged it."
