I wish there was a lot more of this to be honest. Everyone is consolidating stuff that doesn't need consolidation.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

It will be interesting to follow what happens to the GE Research Center in Schenectady (complete with an original Thomas Edison desk). It's a centralized org for basic research - think Bell Labs back in the day. Each division of GE contributed some percentage of revenue or OI (can't remember which) to fund it, and then all divisions benefitted from the research done there. The percentage of contributions was small, but across an $80-100B company, it added up to more than a billion dollars of basic research. Not sure how you split that golden goose three ways...Last edited by LynahFan; 11-09-2021, 03:10 PM.If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?

BREAKING: Evergrande, the second largest real estate developer in China, has officially defaulted on its bonds. It was unable to make the required interest payments in time."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

If their sources are correct (NY Times seemed to say otherwise but their story was from I think yesterday) China could be in for a world of hurt...which means everyone is."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

If I knew the Chinese real estate market was a bubble then all the smart money already knew and already got out.
Let it all implode. If that's not baked in let the entire financial services industry go bankrupt. We'll dig out and the ticks will have been burned off.
Should have done it 15 years ago. Too big to fail is too big to exist.
I'll give up my retirement and eat cat food if it means my kid and grandkids are finally free of the banks and the Plutes.

You are smart enough to know it isn't that easy. Fascism doesn't go away just cause economies fail...in fact they gain traction. If China screws this up the Right Shift worldwide will be massive."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

But hey, the rebuild will be good for jobs, and Phoenix won't look any different as a post-nuclear war hellscape.
