I'm kinda shocked that JJ Abrams has no stans. This is the first time I've gone viral in a long time where no one showed up to attack me, and it was with a Abrams dunk

I don’t think JJA actually has *stans.* He’s one of those middling players who never swings for the fences but has a slightly better than average On-Base-%. Earns his salary but doesn’t sell a whole lot of jerseys. When studios want to play low risk moneyball, they call JJ.

So like a hedge fund that's mostly government bonds except the government bonds are 80s tropes and women with inexplicable backstories

Well, I just watched The Big Short again so yeah, that fits. TROS is a mortgage-backed security that is really dogshit wrapped in catshit that might actually be worth its valuation if it hadn’t been fucked with so much by lickspittles and bastards.

Lol yes It's made of so many bits and pieces of random unrelated things that none of the suits whose job was selling it ever bothered to actually take it apart and see if any individual part was any good

And then a contrarian autistic nerd actually looks everything up and is all "Hey these are all abandoned crack houses"

Not exactly? I actually worked in finance during the meltdown. The problem was not with the properties, it was that they took off all the brakes on who got mortgages, gave out predatory loans, and concealed all the bad debt in mortgage bonds. Only a few people realized it.

I'm really just referencing the simplified version of events in the movie The Big Short, and also how TRoS is a diversified tranche of every bad decision ever made in the old Star Wars EU

But yes, it's not that the houses themselves were necessarily bad houses, but that they were owned by people who couldn't possibly pay them off Much like, say, the big ideas in the Jedi Academy trilogy and Kevin J. Anderson

Letting Kevin J. Anderson write for your beloved nerd property is the equivalent of a NINJA loan (No Instincts, No Jeneral Awareness)
