So the discount for existing shareholders is only 50%? That still requires pretty significant investment from their side, what if they can't come up with enough money? Poison pill becomes uneffective, right?

It's simple really: Colleges are removing the admission criteria that everyone, regardless their race, can be good at (i.e. SAT tests), and they add the criteria that only Black people are good at (i.e. being black). That's just p

This map is weird. I put 20m sea rise and it shows Caspian Sea expanding, roughly doubling its size. But the thing is: Caspian Sea isn't a sea at all, it's a lake (named "sea" only because of its size), not connected to
