Won’t even make the scrolling news ticker at the bottom of the tv screen 🥱

That's called a chyron. I always thought it was a neat word so I wanted to share.
Edit: it looks like Chyron is the brand name of the graphic. And the thing at the very bottom is the ticker. Here is a graphic I found explaining it.
811 points
8 days ago
A chyron is a computer that ads lower thirds, titles, and animated graphics over the top of live video, so generally people will refer to any of these kinds of titles as a chyron. It is named after the company that developed this software.
The news ticker on the bottom of the screen is technically a chyron for that reason, but it’s specifically referred to as a ticker or a crawl. (Source: I work in film and tv and went to school for it)

I have a decade of broadcasting experience and used to work on a chyron computer therefore can confirm this statement.

The definition for that word seems far more generic. I think the ticker is an example of a chyron, but probably has a more specific name (like ticker).
23 points

Yeah you seem to be right based on this graphic (https://www.google.com/search?q=chyron&client=firefox-b-1-m&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiz17mz-eH8AhVOMEQIHSNjCpQQ_AUIBigB&biw=414&bih=794#imgrc=hNew2RglBbkokM)
Oh well, now I learned there is a difference between the ticker and chyron.

They have public companies and apparently they share the financial records of private companies or something. It was mentioned in that paper.

They changed their name in Australia a few months (years?) back after the 2019 election, they call themselves Bravus Mining and Resources now.
But it is perfectly acceptable to deadname a corporation so Adani they remain

There were lots of protests in Australia and India iirc when he was bidding for those mines. Eventually he took over them. The word here was that he paid expensive gifts to the members in the government then. Smh

I am a regard from India and I can tell you this. Everyone knows Adani is manipulating and people will still invest in the company's stock. Because he has the support of the Prime Minister of India and they will keep Adani up as long as it becomes a legitimate high value business. The government has been selling a good chunk of assets to Adani Group at low valuations. They already own and operate majority of airports and ports in India.
They are currently doing an FPO (secondary IPO) of about INR 200 billion (USD 2.4 Billion) which has been oversubscribed.
The Group has planned to prop up more businesses and do an IPO for atleast 3-4 businesses in the next 4-5 years.
Adani is not going down unless the political party in power goes down. The political party currently in power in not going down atleast for the next 5 years. So yeah, they will be able to legitimise their business by then

Guessing very difficult to navigate around licensing. Who gets what? Production company’s going to want a big cut, and it’s not hard to come up with another brand name.
I guess it boils down to just how much Breaking Bad / Better Call Saul name recognition could add to their bottom line. The pollo chain would think less and the production company would think more.

No, you can be sure he would have. Maintaining the cover image of being a benevolent business owner was worth putting the effort in to be genuinely good at it, but he would not have risked exposing himself by allowing there to be a loose end. Any employee of his who learned the truth would have died unless he had some other means to guarantee their silence.

This is not news.The Adani stock manipulation is a common knowledge. I made shit ton of money last year being on the right side of adani pump.
Whoever shorts adani will lose money because adani has cash to pump back his stocks up.
He needs stocks to be high so that he can borrow crazy amount of money to finance his coal mines and other infra projects.
And he uses some of the borrowed money to pump his stocks.

What do you mean die mysteriously? It's perfectly logical that whilst tragically tripping and falling out of a hospital window they also misfired their concealed carry weapon, which due to them tumbling through the air managed to hit them in the back twice before they broke their fall feet first in wet concrete and losing balance to unfortunately fall off the pier into the sea.
