Reply to comment by TheHumbleGeek in Google making ‘terrible mistake’ in blocking Canadian news: Trudeau by Defiant_Race_7544
This is one of the dumbest responses I have ever read. I'm not even a particular defender of the CBC, but this feels like it was written by someone with absolutely no business background or experience whatsoever.
Forget about first year business analysts at any major bank, interns at local credit unions could provide superior analysis. Hell, you can see better written work in shitty business schools.
I could attempt at a response to this, but it's so stupid, it's not worth my time.

The CBC has been around since 1936. How has its funding changed since then, and then since the Trudeau administration?
It's one thing to make a pithy comment like "CBC isn't going anywhere with how much money his government has funnelled into it" and it's another to provide any kind of context with the statement. How much money has he "funnelled" into it? How does that compared to other governments? Should the CBC even be "going somewhere"? Why or why not?

That's a weird rant. You know that the CBC vastly predates the Trudeau administration, right? He didn't make it.

No idea. I have no clue how Jassy thinks, or how they're going to get out of their situation. Amazon seems like it's kind of an overgrown basket case right now. Maybe they should just start spinning off all the segments/businesses.

It's not a balancing act. Employees get compensated via their salaries and bonuses. Shareholders get compensated via their ownership of the business, the value of their shares and dividends.

Ideally you want to make everyone happy, employees, costumers, vendors, but of course that includes the shareholders, after all, they own the business.

Anything's possible these days. Delaying the process due to transitioning and then again for pregnancy. Welcome to the strange future we never thought we'd be in.

My money's on Holmes, but who knows? Maybe he could pull off an Adam Neumann and get Andreessen Horowitz to back him again. Somehow Trump is still out there not in jail (so far).

Of course he would have avoided taxes, there are no taxes on income or capital gains for citizens and residents in the Bahamas. It's not really "kid gloves", everyone gets that treatment there.

The company was headquartered there. If he was trying to evade the US authorities there, it was a pretty dumb move because the Bahamas has an extradition treaty with the US.

Oh, the US has an extradition treaty with the Bahamas. Unless he somehow manages to somehow El Chapo the police in the Bahamas, he's unlikely to escape the US justice system.

We'll find out if he's rich. Either all his wealth was in FTX, in which case he is no longer rich, or is isn't, and he might have some money stashed away somewhere. It's gonna be interesting seeing this one play out.

That Activision statement is certainly going to complicate things. For Epic's sake, at least one of those 24 other allegations better be good ones.

WTF are you talking about "no growth potential?"
Its revenue has grown 25% over the past 4 years and market cap has grown 25% over the past 5.
Did you even open the financials before you made that statement?
