unreal6··on S&P downgrades Oracle to BBB – only one notch above junk level

> I use their services, but I frankly don't care who provides it. I'll chase the chepest/best and have no issue switching from one to another.

unreal6··on Layoffs at Block
> If you’ve got the manpower and talent, why not play with it and see if anything makes money. In-house startups with stable capital, all that
