$NKE, will be removed from the S&P 100 at the end of this month, ending a near 18-year run in the index.

The stock has now erased -$230 billion in market cap since its all time high.

A collapse for the history books.

It closed Friday at $38.40.

And now they're getting removed from the S&P 100 on September 21.

Impeaching Trump twice, the avalanche of lawfare continuing even today, they behave as anti-American criminals. Their infiltration of institutions and the bureaucracy gives them more power - even after losing elections - than any criminal enterprise should EVER have.; 9/6/26, 7:18 PM

Whiskeybum said...: In the news: a female Egyptian “glamor” TV star will face execution by hanging for her involvement in a drug ring. In Vietnam, 11 people will face lethal injection for their roles in the drug trade.

Now, segue to Wales in the UK. The BBC reports that a prisoner there was making somewhere around 250,000 British Pounds a month from prison by organizing drug deliveries - from prison. He had been caught on 6 occasions with cell phones. He had tested positive for cocaine usage. In prison. He had his prison issued laptop taken from him… not because he was using it for illicit purposes, but because he had… damaged the screen.

Read the again: HIS PRISON ISSUED LAPTOP.

WHY IS AN INCARCERATED ACTIVE DRUG LORD ISSUED A LAPTOP???

It is further reported that organized crime rings on the outside were concerned about his ability to pay them (and probably the prison guards also), and so as the guards looked away, he was found hanged in his cell (flashbacks of Epstein).

Two completely different worlds.; 9/6/26, 7:30 PM

Video: Ohio data-center boom

ai: "Whether artificial intelligence (AI) is a "big con" depends on how you look at it: AI is a real, highly capable technology, but the marketing hype surrounding it has arguably reached scam-like proportions."; 9/6/26, 8:01 PM

James K said...: If AI is all that it's cracked up to be, they shouldn't need tax abatements or any other taxpayer funding. Maybe just some reasonableness on zoning and permits. But they don't need to build data centers anywhere near residential neighborhoods.; 9/6/26, 8:20 PM
