Texas Stock EXchange : TSEX

Far better then my initial post. My hat's off to you.

I do have an additional suggestion. It should be lower case tsex because lying about size is a big part (pun intended) of traditional Texas bullshit.

Just remember when this is modded down to -1,000,000 that you are insulting the proud heritage of the Texas Tall Tail.

Comment You own nothing online (Score 1) 111

At a moment's notice the rules can change and you can be left with nothing. Entire online ecosystems can disappear overnight. Content you have created can be monetized and you get nothing (Reddit, GitHub). Free services can become expensive gated communities.

You have no rights and no ability to change anything. You are the digital equivalent of a serf, and your owner can do anything they like. Get used to it. The only value you have is what income you can create for someone else.

You so misinterpreted my comments that I'm convinced you are really a right-wing using concern trolling to deflect criticism and pretend that you give a shit about "environmental justice". That was the phrase I deliberately avoided using because I was intent on making a point about the privilege and obvious racism expressed at the start of the thread.

If I'm wrong about you I'll admit it, but all I see so far is boiler plate nonsense about the "cost of business" that ignore who plays the real personal cost of resource extraction all over the world.

And you are personally going to live in the contamination zone next to those sites.

Cold War-Era Uranium Mining Is Causing Widespread Cancer In Navajo Women And Newborns

The Associated Press reported that early findings from a recent study by the University of New Mexico have confirmed that Navajo women and babies continue to suffer from radiation exposure, even though uranium mining in the state ended more than 20 years ago.

Because it's all about being "cost effective" and you don't give a rats ass about who dies, as long as you get your affordable electronics. Chinese workers or Native American women and children, their lives mean nothing to you.

I can smell the rot of your conservative racism though the screen. Your morals are equivalent to an untreated case of syphilis

Comment Executive share options (Score 1) 34

Some greed head execs are going to get share options this year related to "performance", and the layoffs will put a cherry on top of their solid gold dish of ice cream. It might have been planned earlier as a precaution in case the results were just OK, but on top of the big margin they'll be boosted to the stratosphere.

It's a Boeing play. Get the money now and leave a ruin after you're gone. Don't short them right now because the value extraction is full speed ahead, but they will be gone in a few years. See Intel for a preview.

Comment I wonder how this will harm customers (Score 3, Insightful) 56

Orders will be fucked up on a random basis. At some point a person with allergies will get sick.

Does that happen already? Of course it does, but there are people in the immediate loop who can act and are accountable. This is about reducing staff to as near zero as possible, so when things go bad there will be no reliable human backup.

Welcome to the future where your well being is now 100% disposable.
