One might imagine she would still have a case based on how hard they pursued her including restarting discussions with her agents just prior to release of Sky voice. And the fact that the voice immediately drew comparisons to Scarlett Johansson voice due to close similarity.
It's fun to blame Red Lobster going down because of all you can eat shrimp, but no one really emphasizes this bit:
"A private equity firm bought the chain ten years ago from Darden Restaurants.... The firm, Golden Gate Capital, funded the deal partly by selling Red Lobster's real estate.
That meant the chain had to start paying rent. That's now a major financial factor in Red Lobster's bankruptcy filing"
VC again leaving a trail of destruction behind them

The ship’s owner, Singapore-based Grace Ocean Private Ltd., made what’s known in maritime law as a “general average” declaration, which allows a third-party adjuster to determine what each stakeholder should contribute, according to company spokesperson Darrell Wilson…
A routine practice dating back centuries, the general average declaration marks the ship owner’s latest effort to minimize its financial responsibility in what could become one of the most expensive maritime disasters in history.
These guys seem like colossal pieces of shit.
They also tried to use some archaic law to cap their financial responsibility at something stupid low, I think it was in the tens of millions, and that amount wouldn’t even cover the cleanup.
Generally these “patented” products from universities are funded via tax payer money. I am not cool with them profiting off something that is intended to save lives and was also funded by the very people who’s lives will be affected.
Putting things behind a patent wall only hinders progress.
They are blue areas doing good things to help their constituents. DeSantis couldn’t have that. It’s really not any deeper than that. The cruelty is the point.
Nobody benefits from overheated workers, who are human beings by the way.
Guess what? A significant number, if not a majority of the people affected by this will be immigrants. Republicans consider them both replaceable and not human.
