If they survive
And if they show the slightest sign that they might not survive then the US Gov will bail them out.

I read IT in the 8th grade and I didn’t really get the whole “transgressive scene meant to evoke the rawness of adolescence being laid bare before the worst cosmic horror” part, but I did understand that they were doing it as a way to ‘ground’ themselves to reality. And as a 13 year old boy, I thought it was kinda hot.
I hope someone suggests to him that, now that Tesla has moved to Texas, they should rename the company “TeXla” so that it will match his other companies with an X in the name. Then all of the articles can start referring to ‘TeXla, formerly Tesla’.
It wasn’t a ‘bike accident’ it was a drunk driver plowing into him and his brother the night before their sister’s wedding. I hope this guy is able to spend a LOT of time in prison to consider what he has done.
Don’t forget, cross-platform!
Can you imagine being unable to communicate with a child without having the option of hitting them?
And then you’ll see even more companies using contracted workers instead of hiring employees.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a needed move, but bastards will remain bastards, and CEOs are bastards.
There needs to be extremely stiff penalties on companies that lose customer data. It should be a large enough penalty that companies are afraid to keep customer data.
Did you even notice how many times you said ‘I’?
This is the wrong sub for such comments… but I agree with you. If you need a truck and you have a family you can buy the smaller truck, but then you also have to buy a car to carry the family. The larger truck will let you haul your family and give you the pickup truck that you need.
Except it isn’t just a name change because with this change you can no longer use it for person to person payments.
I was a low level IT guy many years ago and had worked for the company for about 4 years. There was a sales guy also named Bob that I would help out a few times a year. It was a small company, around 50 employees, and every year at the company Christmas party sales guy Bob would come up to me and say “I don’t think we’ve met, I’m Bob”.
That pissed me off, but it is the only time I can remember where I was upset someone didn’t remember my name.
This is in regards to the N.R.A. bringing a suit against a NY official who had threatened banks and insurance companies in an effort to stop them from doing business with the N.R.A. after the Parkland shootings.
Customers and shareholders of those banks and insurance companies can put pressure on them to stop doing business with the N.R.A., but government officials, especially in official acts, cannot.
I’m sure if the details of this case were changed so that it took place in Texas, and instead of the N.R.A., it was Planned Parenthood… it would still be a unanimous opinion, right?
Awesome! Now do it to keep the cops from being able to force you to unlock your phone under duress.
Here’s the one I got… not sure which is worse.
Amazingly, none of our troops in WWII hooked up with any Nazis they met online.
Why bother with cremation?
Venues have always sucked. Ticketmaster/LiveNation are trash corporations, but music venues have always been about doing things as cheaply as possible and providing the barest of minimal services.
While I do hate Ticketmaster with a passion, I have to admit that about 6 years ago I went to local venue that had been gobbled up by LiveNation and I was amazed at the transformations they had performed. Bathrooms had actual attendants, people whose job it was to keep the line moving. They would watch stalls and urinals and then tell the next person in line when one was free. Pavilion seating had wait service, so you didn’t actually have to get out of your seat to get an overpriced beer or food. The place was clean, fresh paint was on everything. I was at a concert at this venue last year and it still looked nice and these services hadn’t gone away.
I’m not saying that LiveNation should have the monopoly it has on live shows, but there has to be some kind of middle ground between keeping it fair, but also incentivizing venue owners to keep things looking nice and providing useful services.
It would solve that one problem, but would create so many more and much larger problems.
This is the opening to John Scalzi’s Starter Villain. Great book for anyone interested in a humorous look at late stage capitalist supervillains.
