People don't really care about the truth they just want to be outraged when their own bias is confirmed.

Doesn't help that articles are lying outright. But you know that's how these shitrags get their ad clicks... Through rage bait.

I don't see how the lawsuit is connected to blackrock. The medium article made that up if you check their source it says nothing about that.

The lawsuit is a class action with a guy who held 10 shares since 2021. Some investors expected the stock to decline in response to the CEO death as the company would make changes and those investors would have maybe even held a short position because of it. But United health intentionally didn't inform investors of it's plans to pay out more for several months. They released official documents knowingly telling investors one plan when internally executives were pivoting. The lawsuit asserts this is a violation of the securities act of 1933 section 10b. This is about United misleading investors.

I'm really looking for the link to blackrock but I don't see it.

Yeah I feel like a broken record myself. It's tough because there's such a huge population of people who have been taught 'communism = evil dictatorship' and not think critically about any of it, read any of the literature, study the history of it, etc.

I could go on but I am sure you know already.

They estimated it would take to 2028 to overhaul it into a plane as secure as the current AF1. The new AF1 (VC-25B) is expected to be ready 2027.

You're confusing ML's who are authoritarian with non authoritarian ideology like marxists (minus the lenninism) or other forms of communism. Arguably ML's are only communist in name. Similar to how the NDSP for the Nazi party was not a socialist party - they just picked up a false flag because it was popular. And that's often the problem with western teaching on socialism and communism - there is a massive conflation with what it actually is and what malefactors (e.g. Lennin/Stalin or so many other dictatorship examples) have projected on to it.

Personally, I'm very open-minded and I try not to judge a book by its cover.

It's not just the cover, and now you know that. In fact, it's the cover that misled you.

No one really flies a 747 in a modern world because 4 engines are less efficient than 2 engines...and gas is really expensive so it increases your ticket price inordinately compared to a 777 which can hold less people but get those people there cheaper. Think dollar cost per seat.

You have some 747 cargo jets still which can get away with it due to it still being one of the best for moving a large number of heavy goods.

Basically...it's a white elephant. Now they own a depreciating asset that they cant get rid of and has a massive upkeep cost or a high cost of fuel.

DJT said it's the DOD's...but the DOD doesnt need a 747. Maybe they can make it into a new AF1. Keep in mind the current AF1 looks like a 747 but it's really a VC-25 - a military variant. There's already an open contract with Boeing to replace it with the new VC-25b since the current plane is 25-30 years old.

There's a reason most instances are de-fed from them. Play with fire and get burned I don't know what you expected. This post makes you seem either oblivious or knowing but still complaining.

do you get HP for that

It's relevant in that it's entirely misleading. If profits are low they aren't actually able to just "coast along" making less revenue.

Crowdstrike posted a GAAP Net Loss of 20 million for 2025. So a 30-50M cost savings is the difference in continuing on at all or not. There's more to it than that, obviously.

Your point is (probably) valid once you fix your words which is what I assume you mean by saying it's not relevant. But, instead of telling people their rebuttal is irrelevant you should try to adjust your own words to convey your message more accurately.

The quarterly profit motive where CEOs are incentivized through bonus structures to focus on short term profit goals leads to situations where the companies product or service is substandard and they make bad long term decisions that affect the lives of many including their own employees when they over hire and then can no longer afford to pay them.

It's more than that. Media plays instantly because it's already downloaded, cached and served over https. No waiting for files to finish.
