    As an aside, I have been planning to get back into the sky and so I'm watching YouTube videos on accident and mishap 'pilot debriefs' which are a mine of information.

    A couple of channels are exceptionally well produced.

    If you ever wanted a course in how smart people can get profoundly stupid, these videos are very revealing and quite relevant to traders.

    The skinny is being tired can cause two smart grown men to crash a perfectly working airliner. Mental alertness does matter so a younger president has a big edge.

    I listened to the ATC recordings of Harrison Ford landing on the taxiway not the runway yesterday.

    Wharton Profs Demand Probe Of Claim That Trump Cheated On The SAT

    At least half a dozen professors at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School have called on the University of Pennsylvania to investigate an allegation that Donald Trump paid another person to take the SAT exam on his behalf and was therefore fraudulently admitted to Wharton.

    The professors—all of whom teach ethics at Wharton—believe the university should revoke Trump’s1968 undergraduate business degree if a probe can confirm the claim originally made by his niece in her best-selling, tell-all memoir published last month.

    “When a student gains admission by fraudulent means, it undermines the integrity of our academic standards and fairness of our admissions process,” the professors wrote in a letter to Penn President Amy Gutmann. “Concerns about cheating are exacerbated when the alleged perpetrator is a public figure in high office. Failing to investigate an allegation of fraud at such a level broadcasts to prospective students and the world at large that the playing field is not equal, that our degrees can be bought, and that subsequent fame, wealth, and political status will excuse past misconduct.”

    A lot of casinos in Atlantic City failed because they had more casinos than patrons. What they should have done if they wanted to take Las Vegas gamblers is give them a lot of comps plus, lower the odds on your games. They could have easily loosened their slots, made their roulette wheels single zero, increase the rate you earn comps faster by raising the points earned. Of course, a lot of these casino executives are just plain greedy. If they went for the increased handle, they could have made more monies just on the increased handle alone. They would have taken some of the Las Vegas gamblers. I remember the time that one Las Vegas Casino had a gimmick comp of giving their hotel guests an Ace (large card) that you can play at anytime on blackjack. It is, of course, only 1 time bet.

    Smallfil has shown that trump was a disaster of a businessman. He could have pivoted the casinos and done well in Atlantic City. But he was too dumb to figure it out.

    No matter how he got in, Trump did Ivy League level coursework and graduated. Harris went to low IQ Howard U. and did coursework dumbed down for blacks. Then she was an affirmative action admit at Hastings, where she was such an efficient learner that she failed her bar exam.

    Maybe he's never toured the West Coast and kept his nose to the grindstone building his business.

    "Trump did Ivy League level coursework"
    . LOL.

    Most likely he paid other people to do his coursework... just like he paid others to take his admission tests.

    Donald Trump only stood out as the "the Dumbest Goddam Student I Ever Had."

    Now you're just making things up. What about Harris' low IQ choice of a school?

    Prove Trump did not pay other people to do his coursework. He has a history of paying others to do academic stuff for him.

    Especially since Trump only stood out to his professors as being the Dumbest Goddam Student on campus -- and are demanding an investigation on how he got into the university.
