Hedge funds that never, ever actually hedge anything will always be funny.
Everyone was just balls deep the exact same “buy-at-any
-price” pump-and-dump schemes.

Yicai: "China’s comprehensive package to defuse local government debt risks is advancing at full speed, with the number of local government financing vehicles shutting down accelerating in the first three quarters of the year. The number of local government financing vehicles plunged 92 percent as of Sept. 30 from the end of March 2023."
But as LGFV debt plunges, China's total debt-to-GDP ratio continues to rise as fast as ever, and faster than that of any other country in history. LGFV debt, in other words, is only being "defused" in the sense that it is being shifted from contingent obligations of local and central government to direct obligations. It is not otherwise being resolved.

Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa: “I’m not going to be the governor for just Democrats”
She was asked at her first press conference why she’d go bipartisan after voters gave Democrats a mandate:
“Because this is about my campaign promises, what I ran to create as governor. We are forging a new way forward. People are tired of the divisions, of the fighting, tired of the culture wars. This is a time to come together in a way that is about just delivering for the people of Texas."
"Ernest Bailes, Representative Ernest Bailes and myself were close allies delivering for our public schools. In fact, I count him as one of my best allies for public schools. That is his commitment. There is really little light between our positions on public education, and as such, he serves as a tremendous leader on this transition team."
"And look, there are lots of issues with whom my good allies are Republicans. So I’m just about delivering for people. This is not about being a Democratic administration. I’m not going to be the governor for just Democrats. I’m going to be the governor for all the people of Texas.”
Gina Hinojosa says she would issue a moratorium on all *new* Texas data centers until the legislature passes protections
“What I would do is pass laws to protect people. That’s the way this works. Right? It’s not promises that can be broken November 4th, the day after the election. It’s about passing laws to protect Texans."
"That’s what I’ve called on this governor to do, to call a special session, an emergency special session. He has the sole power to do it. He refuses to do it. He’s received $20 million from data center interests."
"I would issue a moratorium on any new data centers until the legislature can pass laws to protect Texans."
"Everything from water to electricity, jobs, all of it. Right? Making sure we have guardrails when it comes to AI. This is what AI is for. This is what it is not for."
"I just had a press conference yesterday where I denounced Greg Abbott’s plan to convert 100 schools in Houston into AI schools, a model in which teachers are replaced by education guides. This is experimenting on our kids. Parents don’t want this."
"Kids spend enough time on screens, yet this is how big tech makes more money. And Greg Abbott is in the pockets of the big tech donors. So we just need some basic protections and guardrails in law. That’s how this works.”

The governor-elect of Texas, Gina Hinojosa, has explicitly said that all currently permitted datacenters in Texas will be allowed to finish construction. This essentially covers all of the 2027 and likely well into 2028.
She is going to pass laws that ensure that all *newly* permitted datacenters going forward for delivery in 2028/2029 will pay taxes, commit to no increase in power prices for consumers, don’t impact water availability for people, be constructed with union labor and give “Texans a seat at the table.”
Sounds reasonable. She doesn’t want to lose a lot of good blue collar jobs and property taxes for small towns in rural Texas.
Datacenter commentary starts at 6:30 in this interview.
Also attaching her official campaign position from her website in the next post.
Sidenote: After watching a bunch of her speeches and interviews, I do think she is a political talent and probably has a future in national politics.

Cillian Murphy and Christian Bale are reportedly in discussions to co-star in a cold-war psychological thriller directed by Denis Villeneuve.
The film is reportedly set in a desolate sub-zero Arctic radar base, centering on two high-ranking intelligence officers locked in a high-stakes standoff where neither knows if the other is a turncoat.

UPDATE: Remember when Bloom claimed its supply chain is “not dependent on China” after Hunterbrook’s reporting?
New trade records show $BE seems to have quietly restarted a Chinese supply route for scandium-containing fuel cell parts.

@alexandr_wang said @Muse can make you $1,000. My receipt: Muse switched me from a $2,123 GEICO renewal to $1,536 at Progressive with BETTER COVERAGE ($1,174/yr saved), then Muse CALLED GEICO to cancel it for me. Then when GEICO asked for me, Muse called me, merged the call, and I was on the phone ~60 seconds to verify my identity and give my reason for cancellation. #MuseMoneyChallenge
