No. The $350B is the total valuation of the company (# of total shares outstanding times $ per share). The $5B is the valuation of these shares (# of shares employees can sell times $ per share). The math you're doing ($5B / $350B ~= 0.014 = 1.4%) gives you the percentage of the company up for sale.

Car brain:

Literal fascism vs. a 1 mile long bike lane? The hubris feels the same.

You weren't missing anything. The game was a real snoozefest: Seattle just blew out the Patriots. The halftime show was great, though

Thank you for your sacrifice

Congrats, Seahawks! 💙
Congrats, 12! 💚
Congrats, Seattle! 💙

We're just getting started in the Emerald City this year! 💫

This is just the Uber Eats slogan. "When watching football makes you hungry, eat food in your mouth."

wishing a very sad Sunday to all Patriots fans. sorry to this guy.

"Today, they are on opposite coasts, but the economies of Boston and Seattle have a lot in common."

I am anxious to hear the Globe's plan to put Boston and Seattle on the same coast tomorrow.

"Oh the problem really isn't a problem"
Like hell it isn't! The problem is that the people in a position to say or do something about it are too cowardly and chickenshit to do so. And I think they all know it

This sort of smug, dismissive superiority from pundits - "oh, you were naive to think anything could be better" - is defeatist and lazy. There are a million different ways the world isn't the way it should be. That is an invitation for improvement! Use your platform to rally people for change!

Seattle City Hall right now, where students from around the city have gathered after a mass walk-out to protest ICE:

Stephen Hanson email to Jeffrey Epstein, titled "Entourage. What a disappointment Sucked". The body is empty, save for "Sent from my iPad"

the ideals are good, actually

even if we’ve never lived up to them it doesn’t mean we can’t start

I called my senators again to make it clear this is not good enough.

We need firm commitments to abolish ICE and DHS. We can't settle for meager reforms ICE can just ignore.

These 'reforms' won't stop ICE executions.

Listening to a day-long hearing on whether building affordable housing in a small section of Bainbridge Island will have a negative impact on the environment and I have to tell you, I don't think this is a good use of anyone's time.

Every single one of them, believe with their whole being, that they are having an actual conversation with Donald Trump in these emails. Every one of them.

Greg Bovino Loses His Job The Border Patrol chief has been ousted from his role as “commander at large,” and will return to El Centro.

Who’s next?

One demotion cannot detract from accountability.

Greg Bovino and Trump’s agents must still be held responsible for the killings and the damage they’ve done to America.

Jeffries Won’t Whip Vote Against ICE Funding - The American Prospect While the House Democratic leader announced personal opposition to a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, he won’t pressure his colleagues to do the same.

There’s no need for deep analysis of why Dems want to increase ICE funding.

It’s simple. You’ve been lied to and they are one and the same with Repubs.

Feel the sting and move forward like a grown up.

Back when I lived in NYC there was a joint on St Marks Pl where you'd sit at the grill and they'd serve up sliders and milkshakes, with rap on the stereo and CSGO matches on the TVs more than once. It turns out that making a restaurant that targets me personally is not a viable business strategy

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people.

It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control.

It must stop.

Kristi Noem must go. Now.

I love intermissions and it is just so I can go use the bathroom and get (not exploit!) free refills

If a film is over 160 minutes long, it really needs to have an intermission.

It feels like certain types of guys are unable to take in information in solitude. It has to be a conversation, explanations tailored to their thought patterns, with someone they perceive as servile to them. They can’t read an email: someone has to tell them what it says, even if it’s incorrect.
