        I remember hearing that public companies have three people to answer to

        customers
        employees
        shareholders

        If you focus to much on one of the three (and there is the appearance that focus on shareholders has gotten too much in recent history), overall and long term, it is not good for the company.

          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  And Russia’s space agency said it was tracking more than 80 fragments.

                  They have the more accurate count because they watched it blow up.

                  Just a guess.

                    I'm betting space lasers as the cause.

                      Boeing is under federal scrutiny yet again, but this time it isn’t for midflight door malfunctions, faulty wheels, or makeshift lubricants. According to an audit released on October 29th by the Department of Defense, the beleaguered aircraft manufacturer allegedly up-charged the Air Force nearly 8,000 percent on spare soap dispensers for its fleet of C-17 cargo planes.
