Stock buybacks should just be outlawed. The only allowable reason for a company to buy back stock, is if the company is using the bought back shares to give to their employees as compensation.

The whole “awarding stock to executives aligns management with the shareholders” always makes me laugh. They weren’t already aligned?

Somebody put it brilliantly in another comment on a previous article:

And it gets worse. Boeing is apparently stonewalling the NTSB about the paper trail of the Alaska Airlines build that led to the plug blowing out:

It began when Boeing took over Mcdonnell-Douglas and transplanted their board and C-suite into Boeing’s, effectively making it a MDD takeover of Boeing when it was actually Boeing that actually bought MDD.

Serious question: is RWBY broadly considered “bad”?

It has a pretty large fanbase for something that is like... mainstream-adjacent. The kinda series where you’d recognize the name and one or two characters but primarily because its been crossed over with a lot of things and has been around a while.

David Zaslav is a cancer that will destroy anything remotely creative if it doesn't give his precious shareholders a chubby in terms of profit

Oh so it’s our fault. We did... something. At some point.

So let me get this straight: they just had Hogwarts Legacy, a best-selling game of 2023 that’s single-player with no microtransactions and no live-service component to it, and Suicide Squad which is a GaaS disaster (in a successful Arkham series that was single-player up to this point) that went as low as 250 players…

...it statements like this that really makes me wonder how these business people got to where they are. A non-live service game like Hogwarts Legacy outsells every game last year, and then a game burdened with live-service content like Suicide Squad tanks, and they seem to think Suicide Squad is the same sort of game…

After the WB Discovery merger I feel like all the execs that knew what they were doing left the company. HBO Max I would have said is one of the best streaming services you can get but I feel like it’s become a shell of what it was. Also I don’t understand dropping the HBO brand, maybe it’s my age but HBO is way more…

From a business perspective, live-service games is a great idea, but there has to be something for players to sink their teeth into. A reason to keep coming back. Either a compelling ongoing narrative and MMO/RPG elements like WOW/Destiny 2/Final Fantasy XIV, or a hardcore competitive scene like Fortnite/Apex/COD/CS.

An all electrical Jag? What could go wrong?

Is that not he case for all Jags?

I am wondering if their marketing team has been citing it as the reason the various expensive ads/campaigns haven’t moved the needle much? “Yeah, they are seeing them but they don’t like the way the places look so they don’t order”. Might also be why there was a heavy push for app usage. 

Sure, but Denny’s was never about “better.” They were about $2.99 grand slam breakfasts.

And beating IHOP is such a low bar anyway.

If you’re charging more for breakfast than IHOP you are doing something majorly wrong.  Except for hotel room service breakfast I guess, I expect that to be higher than IHOP but then again I’m paying for the ability to eat bacon that I didn’t have to cook in a bed I don’t have to make because I have a hangover that I…

I am a Dennys user, well I was until recently. I used to like to go to Dennys for the seedy “slumming it” feel. the dim lights, the torn booths, the waitress that was working her 3rd job, the bad coffee... everything. Well among that was my love for inexpensive food where i could drink a lot of coffee.
