Hence my point - if you’re going to disallow one of those, then you damn better sure engage the other one.

Companies can sell stock into the open market at pretty much anytime they want. Just as long as they have a “ATM offering” on the books, which pretty much all of them do.

There’s only two mechanisms to control this sort of behavior - governmental oversight or worker strikes. There could be others, but those are the only two that have worked in US history. The market doesn’t allow a decent mechanism to correct this behavior, even though the theory says it should.

Reagan was the political support to Jack Welch who really pioneered that style of business practice. 

Your window of opportunity for that may be measured in minutes, rather than days or weeks I’m afraid. (RIP Jezebel)

That blows chunks. I’ve been here since Erin Gloria Ryan was still working finance (in Chicago?) and she was commenting on the sly as “Morning Gloria”.

Has he tried not being a cunt?

He is in the top two that I would not call for a wellness check for a very very long time. Like hope they are room temperature time. 

Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve been around these parts but with the shut down of Jezebel and the ever looming threat of Jalopnik disappearing, I wanted to recommend that everyone come join us at The Drive or Autopian. They both represent the best of what Jalopnik used to be, 10+ years ago, a far cry from it’s…

Right. Ultimately Banner/Hulk is a tragic and tormented figure. It’s hard to square that with the whole superhero genre. It’s why they usually end up having someone WORSE get gamma-rayed up so Hulk ends up being the lesser evil in a final fight.

The actors strike ends (pending a vote) and Jez gets shut down for good. Thanks for the memories Jez.

Yeah, Hulk has that Batman problem where his solo stuff is all “I’m so alone, and my problems seem insurmountable” but then his group stuff is always “But I do have these five magic space friends that could easily solve a lot of my problems!  I just don’t let them because that’s not what this issue is about.”

As the one who suggested it, I almost exclusively see heads of full silver (or thinning) hair popping out the tops of these things.

I have had the opposite experience.  On both coasts any actual owners I have met have been 70+, and most have been their first open air vehicle.  I do see youngins in tourist areas that have them as rentals, but owners have always been older.

Honestly, although I quite enjoy it I would probably agree that my response was hyperbolic. I just think that a LOT of people have really shitty opinions about it out of weird misguided loyalty to what would eventually become the Disney-owned MCU. And I hate the idea that just because Edward Norton gave a shit about…

Gee, why would a movie about a man infested with deadly radiation whose inner torment possesses his mind and body, physically distorting him into a grotesquerie, be serious?

AM radio has a naturally longer reach than FM signals. In some remote and mountainous parts of the country it is likely that FM is limited while AM has better reach.  The idea behind wanting to keep AM is to maximize the reach of emergency broadcasts.

I tune in when the signs are flashing.

My experience has changed last time I did a scan.

I listen to AM sports talk radio. Hard to understand why that makes me a bigot
