Department of Homeland Security Has 'No Reason to Doubt' Apple's Denial of Supply Chain Compromise

The problem with your theory is that Bloomberg makes only a very tiny part of it's revenue from "clicks".

Most of their revenues come from subscription-based services, most of which you or I have never seen and can't afford. A Bloomberg Terminal rental, for instance, goes for $24,000/month.

In 2011 Bloomberg Terminal subscriptions made up 85% of their revenues. Bloomberg Law and Bloomberg Government subscriptions are even more costly ($5700/MONTH for Bloomberg Government!)

Bloomberg doesn't give a rat's behind about your clicks.

Those rentals are also “clicks” more or less. “Click here to rent a Bloomberg terminal for $24,000. Get access to the news that...”. You get the idea.

Again, they’ve played loose with tech facts before. Even one of their names sources has backed off on their story.

So, Bloomberg needs to materialize one of the thousands of affected boards. That would solve all of this quick. They know the 30 companies affected. It shouldn’t be too hard to go to one that hasn’t retired all their servers yet.

Fair enough. I try hard not to use "liberal" as a label because it has lost its meaning as a word, as has "conservative". Words matter and the political conversation needs those words back.

I would strongly disagree. They neither ever really meant anything, other than as throwaway terms meaning “the other,” nor should we want that, as an ideal. How about we make political parties illegal?

Excellent suggestion. I have long said the parties are more about taking care of the parties than representing the voters for the past 50 years.
