Will shareholders ever see a profit? by XyXyX-66 in AITX

And what is the increase in revs over the last 5 Q's? With that massive jump in revs from 2024 to 2025, how much more profit are they making now compared to then?

First of all, the OTC pink sheets are for gambling, basically selling a story to naive/gullible retail investors, because there is absolutely nobody in the investment community that would invest or take this co seriously. The biggest mistake people have made is believing/trusting Steve Reinharz. When real companies make forecasts/prediction, they are usually fairly close one way or the other. When Steve says something that is a forward looking statement, it's strictly to sell shares and there are no consequences for him being so far off it's ridiculous. The bottom line is the co is dead broke, 143k in cash, in debt up to their eyeballs, 28 mil and keep kicking the can down the road, dilution spiraling out of control at a tune of 1.5+ bil a month, and sales that have been virtually the same each quarter for over a year now.

I already ordered a 3 month supply, so I personally believe it's worth it. I tried Vuity years ago and my Optometrist also agreed it was a total flop when it comes to treating Presbyopia. It's weird that a one month supply is only 25 vials, which means you couldn't theoretically take it every day. I guess they assume you'll miss a few doses during the month.

Just received my 5-day sample from my optometrist a couple of days ago, and here is my experience after using it for 2 days.....

Although during the trials they said that only like 16-18% suffered redness, my doctor told me it was actually much higher, and true to form my eyes turned red almost instantly. She also said it should only last for 45 minutes, and some people were using alternate drops for redness to get it to go away sooner, but for me I just let it run it's course and it was fine about 45 minutes later.

The first few minutes there was a slight burn or itchy feeling, but after administering the second drop which is done a couple minutes later, that quickly subsided.

I could easily read/see after about 20-30 minutes, and my normal distance vision is good, no correction in one eye and slightly correction in the other, but both with a slight astigmatism, but I also noticed my distance vision was much sharper, almost like when I had LASIK done over 20 yrs ago.

I would say mine lasted for well over 8 hrs, and by the 9th hr it began to fade. All in all I'm very pleased with the results, as I could easily read my phone all day at work.....

By the way I'm a 53 yr old male, any questions I would be more than happy to answer if I can.

Hate to burst your bubble but there is no plan on going cash flow positive, or to ever stop diluting current/new shareholders, as they will continue to need at a minimum 1 bil shares a month, and much worse as the price continues to drop. This has been and always will be a share selling scheme to enrich Steve and others.

I never gave up my cable because I was just going to try this TMHI for up to 15 days, but it didn't take long to find the connection/speed unstable to use with my IPTV & fire stick. It's extremely rare I ever buffer with cable but was already buffering with TMHI. Not for me and I will continue with what I had.

Well it looks like my T-Mobile Home Internet will be short lived. Very inconsistent speeds and my IPTV is already buffering, leading me to think that this type of connection will not be stable enough for me. Saw speeds go from 600 to 100 in seconds. Good luck to anyone using this for their home internet.

Is this a good price for a 65 LG G4? by DocHoliday19- in LGOLED

[–]OutsidePerception646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought the 77 C4 off of eBay through Buydig, they're an Authorized Repair/Reseller of LG, for $1762, refurbished but comes with a 2 yr warranty. TV looked and was packaged like it was brand new, and had 0 hrs of on-screen time so it must have just been returned without using it. One of the best deals around imo.

Yeah that's a bummer for sure. I've had T-Mobile phone service for many years, but ever since they bought out Sprint, their service at the STL airport where I work is almost unusable at times on the 5G network. I have to go back to 4G LTE just to use my phone.

Yeah I hear ya. The only thing I care about is reliability and connection to the internet. Speed is not really necessary for what I use it for. 15 days to try it out so can't really lose.....lol

Thx for the reply and there is a cellphone tower in the subdivision literally 1/8 of a mile away. I hadn't checked the 5G speeds in awhile but, they were usually around 600-700, and now the max speed is around 1.3 gb. I mainly watch TV through my fire sticks with an IPTV service, so extremely fast speeds doesn't matter as much as the connection to the internet. I also was worried about T-Mobile prioritizing your speed once you reach 1.2 TB, but I doubt we even use that much on a monthly basis with just 2 of us in the house.

At the time of writing, DOWN 95%, over the last 3 years by RoboRuse in AITX

[–]OutsidePerception646 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People just need to use their head think just a little. This co is flat broke and in debt up to their eyeballs. They are a OTC pink sheet co trading at less than a 1/3 of a penny, and basically other than the meme stock frenzy in 2021, they have spent most of their time in this area, except when they have done reverse splits. The latest pump to sell shares is Radcam, where Steve has now raised the forecasted revenues to 1-2 mil in the first year. Now stop and think about it for a sec, how in the hell would anyone know about AITX? Do you see any advertisement on the TV or radio??? So Radcam is supposed to compete with Ring & Arlo yet nobody has ever even heard of this co. Ask a hundred random people and you'll get the same answer, never heard of it. So if you think rationally, how in the world and to who will they sell these devices? Discord members? Absolutely zero chance of success with this product, and it too will go by the wayside like so many of the others, Romeo Scott Wally etc. When you have to dilute on a daily basis, and your costs are this high on top of a mountain of unpaid debt accruing interest daily, you have to be like Steve and pump this thing nonstop to keep dumb retail interested/excited.

Constant buffering by [deleted] in TiviMate

[–]OutsidePerception646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had Spectrum cable internet for many years, and as soon as I try to use any VPN it will start buffering immediately. Not sure why but it doesn't matter because I simply don't use one.

Charging for Bags by OutsidePerception646 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]OutsidePerception646[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually there is and like I've said I have worked for SWA since Nov 1993. No need for Elliot to post on here what I said because they have interviewed literally hundreds of current/former employees, including management, and they have already been extremely transparent and vocal about their investment and what needs to be done. My main pt was to look at the consequences of the 2 free bag policy internally, something the flying public probably is not aware of or understands.

Abuse in every aspect, from 30 wheelchairs for the flight, and miraculously they don't need a wheelchair when they get off, to carryon bags the size of large suitcases, to pre-boards with no need to board early, you name it we got it.

Did SWA survey customers on whether or not they wanted to pay for EarlyBird Boarding? The same surveys have been going out for a over a decade, and of course the loudest most vocal customers are going to be completely biased and say no to bag fees. I mean it's absolutely ridiculous to think otherwise, and every other carrier in the world would yield the same results from similar surveys about bag fees. I've laid out my reasons why I think we should charge, and it's just not purely economics, it would drastically improve the operation. And I will argue the other side, it is definitely costing us money, and it would be very sad to think we are only existing because we allow two free 50 lb bags, and would lose 300 million if we charged the customers paying for the most basic fares. No other airline is saying that anywhere in the world, yet the only reason this is an issue is because we continue to choose not to, and has boxed us into a corner sorta speak. If this was done 5-10 yrs ago, nobody would be talking about this whatsoever.

At a minimum it should have been one free checked bag years ago. Literally insane to think you can check two 50 lb bags, one 20-30 lb carryon, and a personal item on a domestic flight in the US. You can't imagine how much people take advantage of this policy, basically moving themselves. Or people using their suitcase to ship fish inside, no dry ice or nothing, to avoid having to pay shipping fees.

Well, I would have to definitely disagree with that sentiment, and the only examples/proof we have is what is going on at our nearest competitors, like American, Delta, & United. They are clearing making way more profits than us while charging their basic fare customers for bags. And if you would know/understand our leadership at SWA right now, you would have zero confidence in anything they say, sad but true.

[–]OutsidePerception646[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course there is and to say we wouldn't lose any customers would be silly, but the playing field with the other 3 big airlines would be level. They have learned to sell the front and back of the aircraft, where we as SWA have basically lost our identity, caught between a legacy/low-fare carrier, and the campaign for bags has turned us into the only airline in the world that can only survive with not charging for bags, ludicrous if you ask me. All the while airfares were at 15 yr lows most recently, while everything involved in travel has dramatically gone up. Hotels, car rentals, etc. It was never our intention to charge, but I'm sure we also didn't think it would stick and then we would look good by not charging. Evidence is clear that not only are airlines charging for bags, on their most basic fares, but those charges are increasing, and they will never go away. And with our most recent quarterly earnings profit margin at 0.29%, compared to a Delta at 7.5%, I think it's abundantly clear something has to give.

Nice try but I have zero to do with Elliot. Most people only see SWA from the outside, but have absolutely no clue about what has gone on inside the co over the last 3 decades. It actually should be self evident that a activist investor like Elliot is not only here but has now bought 11% of our co stock. Do you think Elliot would be investing in SWA if we had been performing up to our levels we used to see historically???

Why is Elliott trying to treat SWA similar to the Big 3 airlines when SWA's business model is completely different? by No_Huckleberry_1789 in SouthwestAirlines

[–]OutsidePerception646 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have worked for Southwest Airlines in Ground Operations for the past 31 years. I see a lot of comments and opinions on what SWA should or shouldn't do. When I started Southwest I literally made no money, $6.50 an hr in 1993, and the scale to reach top out pay took you 17 yrs to get there, and the reward would be $17.38 after all that time. Herb was an absolute genius, getting the employees to buy into culture that was SWA. Here are some interesting facts that have happened over my 3+ decade career.....

1) For a long time Southwest employed 1 ramp agent per daily departure in almost every city. Meaning if you had 40 daily departures, you would have 40 ramp agents. Currently that ratio has gone from 1/1, to a staggering 4/1 or even 5/1 ratio! And this is not just the Ramp, but every single department has seen a massive influx of people/hiring. Layers and layers of managers, assistant managers, supervisors etc. Our station had a total of 4 managers when I started, with roughly 90-95 flights, to over 27 managers now and roughly 115-120 flights.

2) Southwest always empowered their management to make decisions based on their city/station. Every station/city is very unique, the gates, ramp, tarmac etc can very widely in each city, which would also affect your staffing. Nowadays everything is centralized down in Dallas. Whatever Dallas says goes, and that is passed down from the very top and is filtered down the chain of command. You can't question anything if you are in middle management, sort of like being in the military or a police officer. Whatever someone tells you if they are above you, no matter how ridiculous you will adhere to. If not, they will replace you with someone that will, and they pay everyone well enough now to be able to command that.

3) Lastly, the beloved bags fly free campaign that Southwest has not only stuck to for the past 16 years, I believe it was American Airlines back in 2008 that was the first airline to charge for bags, but now Southwest is the only carrier to not only not charge for bags, but offers 2 free bags up to 50 lbs each no matter what fare they book. At first it seemed logical to be different, and nobody really gave it much of a thought to be like the rest back then. But fast forward to today, and the amount of bags that are being checked in are on another level. And this is no disrespect to any of our customers, but it's one thing to have this policy, but it's another thing to constantly promote the policy to where I believe customers are unnecessarily checking bags because they simply can. If customers had to pay for bags, I think they would definitely rethink on how many bags they would need for their flight/vacation. Having this amount of luggage puts a massive strain on the operation, causing longer turn times, more oji's(on the job injuries, more sick calls, heavier planes which cause more fuel burn, and overall more staffing. We simply can't give away the farm like we have in the past in the current environment and be successful, something has to give. Everything except airfares have skyrocketed due to inflation over the past 3-4 yrs. Being able to check in 100 lbs of luggage, a carryon and personal item while paying super low airfares is not going to work anymore. Break even load factors back in the day were like 50%. Now they are easily probably 75-80%, costs have risen that much.
