    As they pointed out, the company still stole a bunch of money. The ability to recover some of the losses years later doesn't really change what happened.

    BTW, I was more just talking about SoftBank's lack of financial judgment. WeWork and FTX are two obvious examples, but they have managed to lose huge amounts on a variety of investments.

    Well that was a letdown. Canceling $1T in infrastructure spending and adding $500B spend for tech buddies and no infrastructure to show for it. This is what the working class voted for - their Orange god to kill their jobs, ignore infrastructure maintenance, and siphon money to buddies... again.

    That's going to wipe out a lot of US companies.

    MAGA!

    I'm invested in some stocks surrounding battery materials and the Trumpers in those communities are turning on him.

    The canceling of Biden Infrastructure Act spending is directly against the Impoundment Control Act, and too will be challenged in court. The monies were part of a bill passed by both Houses of Congress and signed into law by the POTUS. The next POTUS does not have the power to impound those dollars. Nixon tried, and that's why the ICA was passed in 1974.

    Not holding my breath on that. The new normal is that none of that prior stuff matters anymore. Do not question the orange emperor.
