The fact that his conduct is even mentioned is a spit in the face of the real evil that these, let's be clear, convicted financial criminals have stolen from Kurvitz, and society at large.
If you or anyone else watches that documentary, you have to watch No Truce With Capital https://youtu.be/tDtfcknELe0
I also highly recommend the more straightforward what went wrong with the pmg documentary https://youtu.be/K1b5zyvsUBY -

It's amazing what a difference packaging up the exact same thing in a different way can change things. My last job was software as a service and we became much more profitable after shuffling around which features go to which package. Exact same story, talked to users, found out they need X Y z not A B C so we offer that and they happily pay.

The one that jumps to mind is introducing a guy to Magic the gathering, now it's his main hobby and where his entire friend group and social life surrounds it.
How about yourself?

okiyama Link ParentYeah that's fair, I do admit I'm dubious of their plans to make consumer transport at work. I'm betting on military relevance over the next few years.Yeah that's fair, I do admit I'm dubious of their plans to make consumer transport at work.

Earnings 2/24 and I don't see a world where $11 is the ATH so planning to sell after the next good jump to pocket some cash, then hold the rest as long as I can manage.

In a PURELY hypothetical sense, my ideal would be, put me to sleep a few days before I die for as long as you can so I can get a decent idea of how the universe will end.
My fundamental curiosity in life is cosmology, partly for its potential to solve death. Once we know how the whole shebang is going out, we'll have a better idea whether the long sleep is really it or not.
