|This is just what banks do O_o underwrite loans, then collateralize (i.e. bundle) to people who want the risk.

... and from the linked piece ...

| Banks do not sell down debt they are confident in

... I have no claim to expertise but both of these can't be true.

I wouldn't worry about it anyway, you can be sure when the day comes "they'll be to big to fail".

I'm happy to confess I don't understand US medical care but OP was saying that $800 was the price they paid but you're saying that if one had "US insurance" it would be "less than half of that" ?

I mean if you have insurance I don't know why it's costing you anything but regardless it's hardly surprising that you're cost is less than the person paying cash ?

I don't know why but I have a different experience. My daily driver is a 13 year old Thinkpad with 16Gb memory, I use Firefox all the time, I routinely have 50+ tabs open, I really have no complaints.

I also use Firefox on Android, I have less experience of using other browsers on mobile but what I've got is fine for me.

I'm not questioning your experience but I would like others, who might be considering using Firefox, to know that different people have different experiences.

| terrifically intelligent and obviously absurdly well-educated, he's just a liar and a sociopath.

No idea how intelligent he is, I wouldn't say I've seen any obvious signs of outstanding cerebral capabilities.

As to his education, he got a 2.1, quite respectable but given the resources employed (Eton and Oxford) in his education anything less would have been shameful.

I've just looked up the regulations. If he plans to withdraw he only has until 4pm Monday 20th July. After that he's on the ballot regardless.

|suspend him or order a recall by-election as a result.

I believe that while the Parliamentary Standards Committee can order a suspension, the prospect of a recall election is not due to the committee ordering it but rather sufficient electors in the Member's constituency petitioning for it.

The recall election only becomes a possibility if any suspension is greater than ten days in length.

I do wonder if Farage will decide to drop out before the vote.

Farage, more than most people, seems to strongly dislike ridicule and to lose a good deal of his vote to a comedy candidate would significantly damage his long term political prospects. If the polls look really bad for him it might be better to cut and run.

If that happened it would be difficult for the Count as I assume he would win the seat, but having to be a reasonably behaved MP is an onerous task and one that he might prefer not to take on.

I appreciate that in global terms I live a life of data privilege, but I really don't think a 95mb download is any problem at all if the thing I'm downloading has utility.

As the article mentions under some circumstances trailer mounted generators are not considered stationary and that is the basis of the plaintiffs claim.

Wasn't this move meant to be delayed until after the IPO?

He _says_ he doesn't like renewables but secretly he loves them ;-)
