The company overall, if I remember what I read the other day correctly, has lost about $50 billion in value, of which Zuckberg's share was $7.2 billion. The rest is a loss inflicted on other hapless stockholders. Without the majority of the voting stock, the way this mess is structured, they can't get rid of him. They can only get rid of their stock at a loss. Or at least at a paper loss. <br /><br />Thanks to Facebook, the whole world is so screwed!<br /><br />Yours crankily,<br />The New York Crank<br />P.S. Would you be Ron and Natalie's grandchild?

Even...I'm not sure I'm following you, John. Even the first sentence of your comment left me scratching my head. Verizon is not a "lefty" brand. To the extent that it has any politics at all, it has to do with its resistance to union demands a few years ago, which to my mind is kind of "righty." <br /><br />And Unilever? What is the politics of Dove soap? What is the politics of Imperial margarine? Why is Aim toothpaste "kind of 'lefty'"? Why is Hellman's mayonnaise or Knorr soup any more "lefty" than a shoelace? Gimme a break!<br /><br />Yours crankily,<br />The New York Crank<br /><br />The New York Crankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489472134701718697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29361741.post-49850927621342322332020-06-29T10:07:43.537-04:002020-06-29T10:07:43.537-04:00Besides Verizon and Unilever those are kind of &qu...Besides Verizon and Unilever those are kind of "lefty" brands. Zuckerberg pulls from the Trumpian playbook, market to your base. That those two bases overlap (ok there will be no Trump followers who are not in the Facebook circle) will not be a problem. There will be tons of money to be made from the Cult45 followers.<br /><br />So it will be the bubble within the bubble.
