Choo-choo or no choo-choo, bankruptcy is coming. Just look at the amount of unfunded pension liabilities. Then look at the Governor and Legislature, can anyone even imagine that crew solving any real problems?

I get the sense that detecting sarcasm isn't your strong suit.

Yes. That is what I was implying. Every single one. Or I was providing context, showing that Hezbollah connections to Venezuela are not implausible in this particular reality

There isn't zero risk the shareholders of PG&E lost 80% of the value of the stock since 2017. Since I analysis systems for a living and for fun, it would be interesting to look at PG&E books. How much maintenance was deferred?

I think you missed part of the article: "The utility company’s stock has lost more than 80% of its value since the 2017 fires broke out, and its credit rating has been downgraded to junk status." How was the downside risk of the s

This whole thing seems so tacky and cheap. It reminds me of a rich old person holding up the line so he can get his Senior discount and save $1.47. Is Huawei so poor and T-Mobile charging so much to use the robot?

I would guess close to all of them. A large percentage of people that work for the Federal Government really don't add much value and not employable outside of that setting. Of course, I could be wrong, but I am willing to bet on it,

True, all the public has to do is pay back the money the government didn't make from gambling. That is a win, not in my book, but in some book.

So a company's business practices should supersede a country's laws. Does this apply to only to sanctions? How about environmental laws?

Probably because it is work and the police don't care. In California with Prop 47, it might not even be a crime to steal packages.

How can this be? So many times I read in the comments on HN, that the US isn't a great place for entrepreneurs because of health care or something.

China is always in favor of making it easier to steal IP. I hope I live long enough to see them complaining that other nations don't respect their inventions.
