I’m sorry but this is just too funny not to post
(Context/community note: the JD Vance couch thing is false)
(Context/community note: the JD Vance couch thing is false)
Slight point of order. We don’t know whether it is true or false. I do not believe a denial has been issued.
This is a devastating account of a Vance-backed start-up company in KY that failed to deliver on its promises, from Vance’s venture-capitalist days.
www.cnn.com
“Last year, facing hundreds of millions of dollars in debt, AppHarvest declared bankruptcy.
The rise and fall of the company, and Vance’s role in it, cuts against his image as a champion for the working class — an image that helped catapult him to the top of the Republican ticket as Donald Trump’s running mate.
A CNN review of public documents, and interviews with a dozen former workers, shows that AppHarvest not only failed as a business after pursuing rapid growth, but also provided a grim job experience for many of the working-class Kentuckians Vance has vowed to help.”

As a venture capitalist, JD Vance repeatedly touted his guiding principles for investing in a company: A business should not only turn a profit, it should also help American communities.

Another exceedingly bad policy position by Vance (well, by Trump, but he is a wannabe dictator, so he would want the power to set interest rates). Vance is supposed to be a smart man, but as we see he is just another sycophant willing to go along with anything Tiny Hands suggests.

Vance backs Trump's support for a presidential 'say' on Federal Reserve's interest rate policy
JD Vance has endorsed former President Donald Trump’s call for the White House to have “a say” over the Federal Reserve’s interest rate policies — a view that runs counter to decades of economic research suggesting that politically independent central banks are essential to controlling inflation and

Where did I say anything that was a lie? It is a devastating account of his behavior as a venture capitalist. BTW, a venture capitalist is the opposite of someone who cares about working people.
Here is the part that I was referring to in the article:
“While Vance stepped down from AppHarvest’s board and launched his political career in 2021, he remained an investor and supporter of the company. By the time he was sworn in to office last year, the company he’d hailed as a great opportunity was mired in lawsuits filed by shareholders angry over its plummeting stock price and allegations of fraud.
Several former employees told CNN they thought Vance and other board members should have recognized and responded to warning signs that company officials were misleading the public and their own investors.
To some, Vance’s enthusiastic promotion of the company followed an all-too-familiar story line in the region.
“Eastern Kentucky is well-known for people coming and going. They start up companies, then they disappear,” said former AppHarvest worker Anthony Morgan. “They didn’t care about us.””

This is the same guy demanding that Walz owes his former "Weekend Warriors" Guardsmen an apology!
Vance has no integrity and had he not punched out after 4, I doubt he would've made it to 8.

Vance was so desperate to give Ukraine to Putin that he stood on the floor of the Senate and read Dr. Seuss to try to keep the US from keeping their word to an ally.
