They dropped from $2,000 a share to just $0.08 a share! That's a decline of 25,000 times!
If you invested $50,000 in MoviePass two years ago, you'd have a whopping $2 today.

Isn't there a process or research that needs to be done before to prevent stupid decisions like that?

Obviously not.

@black3dynamite considering how little effort they put into it looking acceptable, it seems far fetched to think that they did any research at all.

Yeah that Gucci sweater is just bad. It doesn't even look "like Gucci" unless I'm now supposed to think gucci:racism
The article is worth a read as well. Apparently they released this sweater during BHM.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47245877I'm not overly surprised by this. Our tax laws here would make it incredibly difficult for any major corporation want to setup a HQ here.

Rocket Report: Russia’s new spacecraft; is the US sabotaging Iranian rockets?
“NASA has issued a stop work order on the agency’s Lucy mission."
US may be sabotaging Iranian launch efforts. As noted previously in this newsletter, Iran's two recent rocket launch attempts (on January 15 and February 5) both failed. That is part of a pattern where 67 percent of the country's launch attempts have failed during the last 11 years. The New York Times reports that the Trump White House has accelerated a secret American program to sabotage Iran's missiles and rockets, which is part of an expanding campaign by the United States to undercut Tehran's military and isolate its economy.

Exactly. There are commercials FFS.
If I wanted to have TV with commercials I'd pay for Cable or Satellite.

meh - There aren't a ton of commercials, it's really peared down compared to broadcast TV or cable - and hell, with cable you still get full length commercial breaks considering the high price you pay for cable.

And I don't have cable or satellite in my house. So it's a win-win for me. I just pick up OTA and use Amazon Prime/ YouTube for everything else.

What legal streaming services are @DustinB3403 and @Obsolesce using that are 100% free/ad supported that give you everything you get on Hulu/You Tube Red, etc?
Now maybe you'll say none - that you don't watch current shows at all, and you say fuck it until they are released a season at a time via netflix or some other service.
