That’s a very good point. At the least, the stock price should go to zero. I guess your point is that they are artificially keeping the company out of bankruptcy/receivership.
They didn’t say to let the government run it. Make the patents/trade secrets public domain and sell off the physical assets in open auctions. Someone would buy up the profitable manufacturing lines that aren’t known to be as harmful.
It doesn’t appear that you read the article. Social science journals definitely are organizations, businesses and/or single entities that could change.
Recently, Stacy Abrams and Terry McAuliffe concerning the 2018 race:
“She would be the governor of Georgia today had the governor of Georgia not disenfranchised 1.4 million Georgia voters before the election. That’s what happened to Stacey Abrams. They took the votes away.”
That's the problem with the legal system. It's extraordinarily common to plead guilty when innocent because fighting the charge is more damaging than accepting a deal.
I even had this happen to me with a traffic ticket. It was way too expensive to fight it even though I could easily proven my innocence.
This lady probably would lose at trial and then have to appeal. The judge could instruct the jury that they have to adjudicate whether she dropped off the child or not regardless of whether that should be reasonable. You often can't argue constitutionality and some other factors until appeal. That would bankrupt the family.
That’s analogous to saying that “vaccination isn’t a great strategy from the perspective of those with adverse reactions.” In another thread, you did not accept that line of reasoning. Why is it valid in this case?
As far as I know, the only instance of a poison pill being triggered was Versata Enterprises, Inc. in December 2008.
TL;DR: A competitor (Selectica, Inc.)--wishing to purchase Versata--bought over 5% of the shares. The IRS considers this an ownership change, and it imposes a penalty to discourage trading of Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryovers. A poison pill was in place to prevent this tax issue. The board executed the poison pill to dilute Selectica ownership from 6.4% to 3.9%, and that action held up through appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court.
I agree with you, but he doesn’t really have the authority to push the investigation in any other way than to roast whoever he has access to in public meetings. There isn’t congressional support to pass a resolution or bill to do so. He holds minority views within a minority party, and he is just one legislator, not an executive.
In other words, the only way that Rand Paul can influence the situation in any meaningful way is through political means. So, I find it hard to fault the theatrics with Fauci as distasteful as there are.
Are you thinking of C++ issues with constructors? I don’t see anything wrong with the use of static variables in this single file C program. This isn’t a library; it’s a standalone web server.
This is anecdotal, but I recall that Alabama put up highway markers in kilometers during the 1990's [1]. It confused people, and they cancelled the program. You can still find signs that haven't fallen down or been stolen in some places.
