i just realized talking about Sprint violates the first rule of comedy: never punch down
but it's so easy

oh lord Sprint hired a "turnaround artist" to save them, but unfortunately his signature "turnaround strategy" is to sell the company to somebody else. i think they already tried this one with t-mobile who very clearly didn't want them?

to say that owning Sprint stock is a horrible decision is much like saying water is wet

they are also basically insolvent; their market capitalization is less than their outstanding debt

the spectrum holdings are mostly worthless because they are either high band spectrum or they interfere with GPS.
the network is LTE-TDD which is basically incompatible with almost everything else.

it should be noted that, in reality, all of the zombies in the walking dead are actually Sprint employees

we should be glad companies aren't people, because Sprint would have exponential growth in their medical bills

maybe Masayoshi calls up Marcelo and keeps screaming "YOU WERE AN ACCIDENT" at them on a regular basis.
what else could you do with Sprint?

black market arbitrage as you describe is possible because the Venezuelan regime has taken actions to make their currency worthless in the global market, as a form of economic control.
so, it really does come down to corruption.

@kaniini Possibly, but they'd blame the problems there on interference from the US.

@kaniini Never. They don't see the refusal to participate in the global economy and restricting access to currency as a totalitarian practice, but as sticking it up to the evil imperialism & capitalism.
