Is that how filing for bankruptcy works?


That's how chapter 11 type bankruptcy works. The business continues to run but the debtors are now the owners. There's also chapter 7 where the business shuts down and stripped for parts to pay the debts.


Yeah, Trump went bankrupt 3 times, and he's still here



I think the key difference is that: "going to school", sure you need a living stipend, but the actual research phase has serious WLB and working condition issues


Oh look it's jibe's account!

Back before the Laravel folks utterly misguided but weirdly popular attempts at turning PHP into JavaScript gutted the Drupal community (your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer) one of the most common outcomes of a site getting hacked was malware-infested porn sites would be uploaded to the site server. This failure mode wasn't particular to Drupal, it's just what happened when websites got hacked.

DCC is êxcéllént. I have also been enjoying Pale Lights and The Years of Apocalypse.


They are not, that is expectation of future performance based upon past. Reality is too complex and dynamic for that.


Reality is complex and dynamic, and through all of that Harvard's endurance pre-dates the US, therefore I would expect it to endure a 4 year term of Government. Not to say with a 100% certainty, but I would expect it to with a greater degree of confidence than many other things, based on its history.

However I wouldn't extend that line of thinking to stock markets, superannuation etc.



The definition of "enemy" is not limited to "people that are trying to kill you"
