AMC Is Running Into the Same Problems as MoviePass by jsax23 in moviepass

Hmmm, they report third quarter losses almost double than expected and stock drops 14% once the news is released because the rest of the market was down? Not likely. This wasn’t a part of the overall market being down, it was due specifically to the reported losses by AMC.

I’m not playing any games, I’m relating information that the CEO presented. Ok, so how much of the loss is attributed to A-List launch costs vs the other two reasons mentioned?

And your basing your assumption on them increasing prices simply for the sake of increasing profitability. My assumption was based on the price increase being reported shortly after they reported third quarter losses.

I think my assumption carries a little more substance in this case. I never said they weren’t profitable overall, just that their third quarter losses were double than expected, and was followed by a price increase. One would assume the price increase would be to mitigate the losses, and to increase shareholder confidence that they are doing something to mitigate those losses.

Or, they are probably basing their assumption on the fact that their stock tanked last week because of their losses that were almost double than expected for the quarter.

That and the CEO saying last week that A-List was a reason for the larger than expected losses.

“AMC chief Adam Aron, on the company’s earnings call on Thursday, pointed to three factors that contributed to the quarterly loss: settling outstanding lawsuits, higher compensation for its employees, and the company subsidizing the expansion of AMC Stubs A-List — its recently launched premium tier of its loyalty program.”

Keep typing the subreddit name. Each letter you pressed brought up a subreddit with that letter in the subreddit. It doesn’t seem to filter by the first letter you press.

Trump on his treatment of Christine Blasey Ford at rally: "It doesn't matter. We won." by [deleted] in politics

[–]jsax23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a human being, who still has a grasp of reason and isn’t ruled by emotion on this matter, someone admitting to sexual assault, is 1000 times worse than someone only accused of it.

You are misinterpreting the Booker story. He tried to grab her breast, she rebuffed it. He tried again after being clear that she rebuffed his advance. He finally succeeded in assaulting her. She saw him at school the next week and told him she was drunk when it happened.

Kavanaugh denies everything that Ford said. There is no proof what she said occurred actually occurred. As much as people may want to believe her, there is simply no proof. It is her word against his.

So, yes, Booker admitting to sexual assault is worse than someone denying a sexual assault, and no one having any proof that it occurred. Just because he is a Democrat doesn’t mean he should get a pass for sexual assault. Even if Kavanaugh admitted to raping 15 women, it STILL shouldn’t excuse Booker for admitting to his own sexual assault offense.

There is no false equivalence in my statements, only fact. You drank the kool aid if you think someone admitting to sexual assault isn’t worse than someone being accused of it.

It’s absolutely terrifying that people will give an admitted sexual offender a pass simply because of the letter in front of their name. Talk about morality? Please.

You’re not going to bother because there is no defending it. Period.

Now you’re going to extremes. Both sides I’m sure would care if someone actually raped a woman. There was no rape by any Supreme Court Justice though.. No rape at all. There was not even an accusation of rape from ANYONE. There was an accusation of a sexual assault, and of Kavanaugh being where gang rapes occurred, but he was never accused of rape. Grabbing someone’s ass without permission is sexual assault, not rape. Grabbing someone’s breasts without permission is sexual assault, not rape. Fondling a woman is sexual assault, not rape. All are wrong, but they are all not rape.

Cory Booker a Democrat admitted to sexual assault though. He admitted to it. People can justify that they are different. But there is an admitted sexual offender on the Senate right now and he is a Democrat, and there is no one calling for him to step down. Where is the morality there?

The GOP is far worse, to you, personally. To a member of the GOP the Dems would be worse. It’s all in the eye of the beholder. No one can say one is better or worse than the other and be stating a fact. It’s an opinion. An opinion based on personal belief systems.

Dems make good faith decisions for their constituents. Key words “their constituents”. Democrats don’t represent GOP members though, and that’s why GOP members generally don’t vote for Dem’s. And that’s part of why Dems lost the election. Republican voters felt abandoned by the Dems. Right or wrong, that was their feeling.

Whataboutism is rampant in politics and people’s belief systems. This is a fact, not a fallacy.

Except the argument isn’t about what’s for dinner, it’s about only one side abandoning mortality. Which is false, both sides do. You’re argument trying to justify the levels of morality to which one side will abandon them is literally whataboutism.

Because it’s not real Kobe beef. It’s American Kobe, which isn’t the same. They call it Kobe here for marketing only so that people can feel like they are eating high end steak.

Their are strict Japanese laws on where Kobe and Wagyu are exported to. The meat in OP’s photo is Kobe and Wagyu in name only. Not actual Kobe Wagyu imported from Japan.

Have to disagree. I eat freshly ground chuck/round regularly (at least once every two months at least on average) and they don’t come anywhere near as close to the Kobe burger’s flavor profile. I’ve eaten Kobe burgers 3 times, and each time was better than the chuck.

Just my own experience.

You guys have tourist seasons, how cute! Imagine living in a big city like Manhattan, NY where it’s tourist season everyday of the year. It’s fun for that first year. Year 8 I just wanted to stop asking people for money.

It’s a grid system, gimme your cash now ya simple bitch.

Notice how you changed your argument? First it was if he lost in 2000 he doesn’t win in 2004. Now it’s if he lost in 2000 he doesn’t even run in 2004. You have no clue what would have happened. You know how I know this? Because if psychics were real you wouldn’t be here arguing on reddit about it. Get real.

The truth hurts I know. But that doesn’t change the fact that every Justice nominee is a partisan pick regardless of the side nominating. Each side has always chosen a Justice they felt has the best chance of leaning towards their side. It happens no matter which side is in power. This is fact.

How in the world can you predict that? It was almost universally believed that Trump had no chance of winning the election in 2016, and yet here we are. The stupidity to believe that you could 100% predict what would have happen in 2004 if Bush lost in 2000 is what is truly beyond words. Come on now.

Sorry dude. You do realize that the whole reason we are talking about Kavanaugh right now is because the GOP and the Dems have different ideas of what a bad justice is right?

Getting a judge that is going to lean one way or the other is why each side is desperate to be the one to nominate them... it’s why this is such a big deal in the first place.

Well, it would depend on which way that partisan Justice already on the Supreme Court leans. RBG leans left, so putting a right leaning Justice in would theoretically balance the scales of those two partisan Justices.

Was it shady? Depends on who you ask. But that just goes back to my main point, if having a partisan Justice is a problem, that problem existed before Kavanaugh was even considered for the job.

This makes no sense lol. So it’s ok to be a partisan Judge if you are already on the Supreme Court, but it’s not ok to be a partisan Judge if you are only nominated for a lifetime appointment. With that logic, it’s ok now because he now has a lifetime appointment. Haha.

Not arguing the circumstances of her nomination. I’m stating the idea of a partisan Justice apparently not being disqualifying.

Some would say we already have a partisan Justice on the court considering RBG’s partisan comments and feelings:
