Comment Re:Buybacks signal there is nothing better you can (Score 2) 36

Buybacks signal there is nothing better you can think of doing with all your cash.

Or that you have a lot of cash and other assets and a market mob madness has depressed your stock price to where it's a really good deal to spend some of the cash to take some of the stock out of circulation and concentrate the company's value in the rest of it.

Possibly it's even such a good deal that some rich outsiders could buy up controlling interest, sell off the non-money assets, take that and the cash pile, and come out ahead. That leaves the current employees out of a job and with their unvested options worthless. Better to spend the hostile-takeover bait making the rest of your stock more valueable now, and keep the company running, than wait until the hostiles are buying and screw up the company and its stockholders with poison pills and the like.

Sorry, but what part of a Governors job description do you not understand?

Was it the part where a Florida Governor was looking to protect Florida citizens health apart from the bullshit and lies related to the "benefits" of eating fake meat by banning it?

Was it the part where a Florida Governor was looking to protect Florida citizens from squatters taking homeowners homes and dignity by enforcing laws against that illegal behavior?

Or was it the part where a Florida Governor was looking to protect Florida children from being exposed to sexual reading material in school libraries that isn't even allowed to be read to adults in PTA meetings?

Tell me again how an illegal open border crisis pouring across every other border, somehow isn't a problem driven by authoritarians.

Put your colored politics aside for a moment and you just might just see what a Governor is supposed to be doing for their constituency. Exactly what Ron DeSantis is doing.

Nothing about this meat is fake. It's actual animal protein. You don't even know what you're talking about.

It panders to his Qult base. Of course it all falls apart when you ask simple questions.

Specifically who are the "global elite"? What goals do they have? How does eating lab grown meat accomplish these goals? If the "global elite" really wanted to interfere with the food supply then why not just buy up all the cattle ranches? Nobody would ever know. Instead it's a conspiracy theory based on one research paper that noted how farming insects has a smaller carbon footprint than farming cattle. The media reports the story and the right wing immediately goes to THE GLOBAL ELITE ARE GOING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR STEAKS BY FORCE

It's the same old think of the children! argument when in reality most children are molested or abused by people they know, not random strangers. Take the Boy Scouts for example, they had to declare bankruptcy from paying out settlements for molesters. https://www.reuters.com/legal/...

But hey let's peek over those bathroom doors to see if that person has an innie or and outie.
