So of course "activist investors" (aka "assholes") come along, insist that Southwest is leaving dollars on the table, and try to turn them into the same thing from which they were trying to be different, in the name of shareholders. Somehow, this needs to be stopped, before everything on the planet is enshittified.

Maybe we should un-sanction them now that Microsoft has been weaponized.

Welcome to PHv6, with so many phone numbers we'll never run out, and everyone is assigned their number at birth.

Slack is owned by Salesforce now, so why is anyone surprised by this? They've been harvesting customer data for years...

Johnny 5 needs more input...

This should walk that star across the universe like an off-balance washing machine.

If it was aliens, they wouldn't be dead, and we'd all be meeting some new friends...

Sounds like a future mining opportunity to me.

And that's one of the biggest problems with Wall Street. You have to have continuous growth, even once the market is basically saturated (see Netflix). If you can't meet these crazy expectations, you get clobbered.

> They added: "The past two and a half years alone account for 10 percent of the overall rise in sea level since satellite measurements started nearly 30 years ago."

Why on earth would anyone consider for even a second replacing a fiber-optic internet connection with 5G wireless? Or even DSL with wireless? Do you really want to be buying your home internet connection from the same outfit that slows your phone data to a crawl once you use 20 GB in a month?

Really? I've been paying that for three paid-off 10-year-old Hondas and Toyotas for a couple years now in Dallas. I asked the agent we use to see if there was anything better, and there was not. One at-fault accident (new-driver daughter) and no tickets.

Wait, what? They didn't jump straight to 20?

I'm not ready for all restaurants to be Taco Bell...
