By Laboured Go To PostIt didn't go bankrupt because of one and done sales either. Sales were fine. It went bankrupt because venture capitalists purchased it, made all sorts of stupid plays towards infinite growth that didn't pan out and didn't know when to stop saddling it with debt to pay themselves stupid ass dividends (because it was still selling well).
Yup. Failure nowadays is defined by Private Equity not making their stakeholders stupid rich. So if a brand they acquire doesn't perform to their unrealistic expectations (even if the pre-PE business model wasn't broken!) then they'll gut it. Why? Because gutting the business and going through bankruptcy provides a path to recoup their bad decisions.

"The biggest challenges facing passenger rail are unfortunately political, they're institutional, systemic, it's this mindset that passenger rail is not worth investing in. There's this misperception that passenger rail needs to "be profitable". Well, that's ridiculous. It doesn't have to be profitable, it's transportation, it's a public service."
Preaaaach
Amtrak: "If there's infrastructure today in the US that would allow it, these trains behind you could go 186mph. If we change two things on the train, these trains could go 220mph. We don't have the infrastructure to show what they could do."

"leftist" politicians crying austerity even before taking charge, only to magically find money to build useless shit with their name on it. Sounds like another country I know (and happen to live in).

FWIW my company was awarded the high speed rail to Vegas. Last step is fed money as project increased over inflation / pandemic. Fed grants the money in September and it’s on.
There’s a lot of planning for massive expansion butyes it’s very political.
Was reading about this case. The wife's hairs were found too on multiple bodies and LE had to basically emphasize she was out of the state/country when different murders occurred. So it wasn't even just his DNA that they squared in on. Good luck with the defense. Gonna go for some "he had consensual sex but didn't kill these women" nonsense and none of the victims can say different because they're dead. Throw this dude the fuck away asap.
