How about the data they sold
This roller coaster keeps on rollering
Start company.
Run it into the ground.
Go bankrupt.
Buy it back.

Debts are gone might as well
In the capitalist system, the investors deserve all the profits because they’re the ones risking everything, or something like this, I’m not an economists.
Yes, and the workers risk nothing, or something like that, I’m told. 😂
I’m pretty sure the users risked a lot too for this one
I get the sentiment and I’m all for workers sharing in profits, but what do they really risk by working at a company? Sure, the company can fail and they might be stuck in a bad situation, but shareholders and owners probably have it worse in that scenario, right?
Workers give their entire lives.
They don’t lose their life if a company goes under though? I don’t mean to diminish the contribution of workers. I think they need a much higher share of what companies take in, and they need more voices at their companies.
Remind me, who is it that gets laid off first when the line starts going down…
Depends, are you considering the fact that 90% of stocks are owned by the top 10% of Americans? Also are you considering that being in the top 10% means you likely have rich friends and family that could bail you out? I think black rock is going to be fine.
Most businesses aren’t like my friends parents little Chinese restraunt.
To me using the, “think of the shareholders” line is silly for a reason. The biggest privilege is the privilege to make mistakes without becoming impoverished. Workers have it much harder in that respect.
Edit: grammer
You make a good point that the shareholder/business owner class is more likely to have better safety nets. So from that standpoint, if the absolute value of their loss is greater, it could have a much less significant impact on their lives.
I think you may be underestimating the amount of small businesses though, at least in the US.
You missed 2. Sell (IPO)company
I’m not sure what
heshe actually did as far as divestiture, but evidently he wasn’t the current owner. I wonder to what degree unreasonable growth expectations flushed the company.She
OP, you linked to the comments instead of the top of the article. 💀
Ah dang you did point it out. They even just copied the top comment there, unless they are ColdWetDog.
So fraud? They defrauded the investors by destroying it. I bet she sold before the news the company is going under.
Debts are gone AND now he can sell the user data with impunity! No NO, that was that OTHER GUY
Hey, don’t talk about Guy Incognito like that
She*
heh fair, gender bias for me.
Actually an interesting turn of events. Sounds like she’d been fighting hard to get it back, but they’d been fighting her on it.
Not sure what it all means, but there’s something going on there. It’s all very unusual.
There’s still some gift left to squeeze out. She’s not giving up on a good bad thing.
Ok so I think I’m the first person in the comments to actually click to read the article, cause I’m gonna say something I’m not seeing.
How did you get it to auto snap to the article comment section?
Didnt realize you could share that and it wouldn’t default to the article.Everything after the # character in the URL is called an anchor and it’s not actually being sent to the website server so it’s meant for your browser (though the server can see it using javascript). The anchor can point to any ID in the HTML of the web page and browser will scroll it into view on page load. You can find the ID of any element using right click -> inspect though not all elements have explicit ids.
The “#comment” at the end of the URL. It’s a title/heading/fragment in HTML that hints to your browser to go there directly.

Oh. Neat.
Thanks for the Wikipedia link
I’ve no idea to be honest.
I thought they had already agreed the sale of the genetic data to another company?
There’s an article in the link.
