If i had kids, I would not send my kids to public education in most of the country...

If you are an elected official, you don't send your kids to any public school. This is a near universal constant in the USA. It's like even the dumbest of politicians know how bad the public schools are.

Comment Worldcom (or MCI) Scam (Score 1) 4

Adobe is running the MCI Worldcom scam. Merging with or acquiring companies, to keep the outside auditors from learning the true health of the company.

Auditors like to do year-to-year comparisons. But when a company has a large acquisition or merger, it makes a mess of comparisons. The client isn't going to pay extra money for the more thorough (and difficult) audit. So the client gets a 1-2 year grace period for everything to settle. And then the client has *another* merger/acquisition...

So the big questions:
1) Best way to make money on Adobe's misfortune.
2) How to force Adobe into bankruptcy.

These days, getting along with China is much easier than getting along with the US.

It's not merely getting along with the US. The US is part of the unofficial "Status Quo Coalition". China is bucking against the status quo and irritating *every* nation. So which is easier: getting along with a bully named China, or getting along with all the other wealthy and powerful nations? Most of the countries that accepted Belt-and-Road had an eye on betraying China in the long run, until they found out that China was proving tofu dreg construction. And with China economic woes, even weak nations are turning against China.

The purpose of dumping like this is to disintegrate competition, as it's not physically possible to keep up with a competitor who can sell at a loss indefinitely via funding from the state or other unrelated business assets.

Now that you brought this up, let's discuss Airbus, who is doing something similar to China.
