claim dilution

A quick definition of claim dilution:

Claim Dilution: When someone owes money to many people, but they don't have enough money to pay everyone back, some people might not get all their money back. This is called claim dilution. It means that the chances of getting all the money owed to you are lower, and you might have to wait a long time to get any money back.

A more thorough explanation:

Claim dilution is a term used in bankruptcy that refers to the reduction in the likelihood that a debtor's creditors will be fully repaid. This reduction takes into account the time value of money, which means that the longer it takes for a creditor to be repaid, the less valuable that repayment becomes.

For example, let's say a company goes bankrupt and owes money to several creditors. If the bankruptcy process takes a long time and the company's assets are slowly sold off to repay the creditors, the value of each creditor's claim may be reduced due to the time value of money. This means that even if the company eventually repays all of its debts, the creditors may not receive the full value of their claims.

Another example of claim dilution can be seen in the case of a personal injury lawsuit. If a plaintiff wins a lawsuit and is awarded damages, but the defendant is unable to pay the full amount immediately, the value of the damages may be reduced over time due to inflation and other factors. This means that even if the plaintiff eventually receives all of the damages they were awarded, the value of those damages may be less than what they were originally worth.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.

Indeed. I need a count for how many exectuive orders he has signed and how many already have pending lawsuits.
