      I wish I was dumb enough to be a CEO so I could have enough money to do extravagant things like pay off student loans, fix my house, fix my car, get adequate healthcare, retire one day, etc.

        Being dumb is necessary but not sufficient: you must also be born in a wealthy family and made networking among your peers in some exclusive school.

      Our CEO is very unusual in that he’s actually alright. They say many CEOs are also psychopaths, usually the more successful ones. I think I’ve dodged a bullet there.

    This is pretty dumb if you read the article. It was open for 2 days of the whole quarter the loss is reported from.

      Still sounds pretty expensive for what is essentially a gimmick billboard with a theater inside.

        I just got back from seeing U2 there and I gotta say that’s a pretty big understatement. It definitely catches peoples attention outside and inside the theater has probably the craziest visuals and a really nice sounding audio setup. You don’t need to wear ear plugs and the concessions are fairly quiet so you can talk to people when getting a drink.

    This was funny to me

    Ranji’s exit was “not a result of any disagreement with the company’s independent auditors or any member of management on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or internal controls,” the company said in the filing.

    The New York Post reported Tuesday that Ranji suddenly quit after a bout of yelling and screaming from CEO James Dolan.

      James Dolan

      James Dolan as in NYK and MSG? Not surprising.

        My thoughts exactly. He’s the one who set up video cameras to track and ban people going to his venues that he didn’t like

          I think it was lawyers from the firm representing someone suing msg so he said “no mediocre basketball for you!”
