I can keep going. Bottom line is that this is not a family known for being on the up and up with their business dealings.
My wife showed me a picture on her phone the other day and asked me to guess who it was. I looked at it for several minutes and gave up. Turns out it was one of her best friends who we vacation with once or twice a year. She doesn’t live in the same state as us, so we don’t see her all the time, but this is someone that I’ve known for a long time. She had so much damn filler and Botox and whatever other shit in her face that she was unrecognizable to me. She naturally has a very pretty face, but with all that shit she looked like a fucking alien. I don’t understand why women do that.

I agree with your overall sentiment in this post, but I don’t think his economic advisory team is full of the best and brightest, either. Their guiding light is one Ron Vara, for chrissakes.
I like that approach. Keep your prices constant and adjust the fee as needed to cover the tariffs. It’s similar to how FedEx and UPS have utilized fuel surcharges.
Helicopters can absolutely land after engine failure using autorotation. Have a friend whose son is a helicopter pilot and he went up with him during training when they practiced autorotation. He said it was super unsettling. That said, if the helicopter loses a rotor and tail, well you’re gonna have a bad day.
It’s a dumb argument. Cuban invested in the business and increased its value more than 10x. He also doesn’t understand that foregoing potential revenue doesn’t equal “losing money.” It was strictly a business decision he would have made to increase the value of the enterprise. Pissing off your customers is a good way to tarnish your brand, as Cuban and the Adelsons are currently seeing firsthand.
I would take anything Cuban has told you with a gigantic grain of salt, but what we do know is he bought the team for $285 million. He sold it for $3.5 billion. Explain to me how he lost money on the Mavs.
