There are companies that game the system with PR linked to hype the stock as we've seen. What reality are YOU living in? Short sellers are crucial. Otherwise it is just fanboys and cheerleaders.
The Enron guys HATED short sellers. The exposed their BS. Without shortsellers there would be no one looking critically at a company: only cheerleaders. You guys should watch the movie "The Big Short". Then come tell me shorts are bad.
I hope it is better than the cluster that is async/await in Python. I am not sure how you have a new language in 2018 though that doesn't have concurrency built in. It is understandable for Python, but not Rust.
Even plastic wouldn't last 252 million years. If humans died out today, there wouldn't be trace of us in 252 million years (I think). Plate tectonics would take care of that.
You are kidding, right? Why do you think they want to appoint these people? Washington DC is a bunch of politicians looking for money and when they get out of politics they want jobs in the private sector. This is how they pay for those jobs.
You must be kidding. Apple crap is made in sweatshops overseas and their stuff ends up in landfills as they introduce new models every 3 months to keep the fanboy money pouring in.
Anyone who willingly transfers their money to a corporation with margins like Apple is a moron. Apple doesn't have "good margins", it has INCREDIBLE margins. They make $20 billion in net income every 3 months. Until people like you stop being morons, Apple will continue to raise prices. Apparently no price is too high.
You are an Apple fanboy and complete idiot. The gross margin on an iPhone is over 60%. That is outrageous. Corporations have never had such margin. And if you think there isn't much difference between $1,000 is $390 you aren't too bright. No wonder people don't have any savings. You give it all to corporations for overpriced junk you throw away in 2-3 years. Once we hit a recession you will learn the value of a dollar.
Wow, so it costs $550 per iphone in marketing, R&D, sales, etc? Amazing. Christ, people are dumb, but that is why I am not in sales. Enjoy paying $1000 for your device.

So you ship a web browser, and a client, and application logic and call it an "app"? That explains a lot about 2018.
Are there actually any "Electron" apps anywhere?
Rei submits anything Musk related immediately.
We call them "programs" not "apps". Stupid hipsters.
I knew Rei was behind all these Tesla stories. What a fanboy. Why do you anonymously submit these stories? Are you ashamed?

Sounds like the webapp hipsters are upset about something. Not sure what. WTF is "Electron"?

If the dinosaurs had all bought $60,000+ Tesla's this could have been avoided.
You don't think that China, North Korea, etc don't have these issues?
Yeah, it works both ways. That is why they call DC a "revolving door".
It isn't just the US. Other countries do exactly the same.
There is a reason so many corporate HQ are in the Washington DC area. It isn't because of the weather.
Who is we? We have no power to do that. Only the people who craft the laws can do that.

Sorry snowflake that you can't handle the truth, but the truth is that you have given all your money away to corporations. But enjoy your iPhone!
"I'm not sure how that makes me a "moron"."

Apple did almost go out of business, but then they realized that idiots will pay 60% margin for shiny things and they made a comeback.

Thats baloney. There aren't billions spent in R&D on every iPhone model. Give me a break.
