Oh i'm not in to that stuff at all...
But i'm sure they can do some kind of recapture of previously declared (worthless) Skydiving Equipment.
Or something...

Do you, LIKE, one morning WAKE up...and say....That's it!....We got 2.499 Billion of this stuff. ...and if we make any more then we declare the WHOLE thing Worthless. LOCK STOCK AND BARREL. THE WHOLE KIT AND KA'BOODLE.

Is that what happens. I mean at what point do you start to think. HEY HOUSTON. I think we got a problem. I don't know. What is a company to do with a spare 2.5 Billion of SKYDIVING gear laying around. I mean, SHOOT.

If they wanna' give the stuff away rather than BURNING it in a warehouse (INSURANCE) fire...ID'e be like, HEY GIVE ME HALF A DAY TO GO RENT A WAREHOUSE AND A U-HAUL.

I mean come on . I'de take a couple hundred MILLION of the 'worthless' stuff off their hands. I'de find a way. IT'S NOT LIKE intel. They can just burn the stuff, I GUESS> like when they (INTEL) used to flame the pentium prices. I don't know. it's a weird world out there.
Don't know what to make of it sometimes.
But what the heck were they doing with 2.5 billion of inventory. HELLO. HOUSTON. what is going on here.
