Uh oh. Tesla asking its suppliers for money, down 4% to start the day. -- nm - znufrii Jul 23, 06:31 15

    - Worse, they're doing this to get money...they have a perfectly valid way to do so by issuing more stock - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 07:40 5

      - Hell, old TT was that way. The keyboard used as a shield is older than the Federalist Papers - TWuG Jul 23, 07:12 1
        
        maybe. though I think the idea of anonymity is newer. and new is the idea, for someone reason, that using the internet to means you dont have - tRuMaN Jul 23, 07:16

- Fake Data! -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 05:27
- I don't know what's standard in your world, but if the client ran it past internal legal, they could just have a general policy against indemnities.nm - ralph wiggum Jul 22, 23:52 1
  - I have dealt with this particular law-talking guy in the past. I think it's more that he had a mission to find something. - mafic Jul 23, 00:18
