CrowdStrike Falls as Delta Reportedly Hires Top Lawyer to Seek Outage Damages
CrowdStrike (CRWD) shares are falling 5% in premarket trading following a CNBC report that Delta Air Lines (DAL) has hired top attorney David Boies to pursue potential damages from the cybersecurity firm as well as Microsoft following the global IT outage on July 19.1
CNBC. “Delta hires David Boies to seek damages from CrowdStrike, Microsoft after outage.” Boies, chairman of Boies Schiller Flexner, represented the U.S. government in its antitrust case against Microsoft and helped secure same-sex marriage rights in California, CNBC noted. The outage of Microsoft's cloud services triggered by a defective update by CrowdStrike led to the cancellation and delay of thousands of flights worldwide, but Delta was the most heavily impacted of the major airlines.
CAQ Money and Influence Koch Industries
In Quebec, this lobby includes the MEI, where Youri Chassin, now a candidate for the CAQ, was an economist and then director of research from 2010 to 2017. It is worth looking into his actions there, because he could very well have an important position if elected with the CAQ. This means examining the hidden face of the MEI and its relationship with U.S. think tanks backed by oil magnates, including the brothers Charles and David Koch.
How America Changes If Trump Wins
How America Changes If Trump Wins
Today, following both Vance’s and Trump’s speeches at the RNC, the future trajectory of America if they’re elected is pretty clear.
First, it’s important to acknowledge that this is no longer your (or my) father’s GOP. Vance is the pre-packaged, well-massaged “product” of a group of Silicon Valley billionaires who are enamored of the writings of Ayn Rand and David Koch’s Libertarian movement. Trump has made it clear he’s happy to go along with the Galt’s Gulch crowd, particularly if it makes him more money.
These men (they’re nearly all men) are revolutionaries with little regard for political history or norms. Think Mao, Lenin, Pol Pot, or Mussolini. They don’t want to tweak government; they want to burn it down and start it over from scratch. Rebuild it as a completely different system of governance.
They’re convinced that the post-1933 New Deal America is a mistake and, along with their allies on the Supreme Court, are dedicated to “deconstructing the administrative state” that came out of FDR’s reforms and the 20th century reinvention of the American system.
And they have a couple of models they seem committed to following. Viktor Orbán’s Hungary is probably the most prominent; he’s already done pretty much everything on the list below, and what he hasn’t done he’s openly considered or will do to hang onto power.
If you’re not familiar with Orbán and how he’s transformed his nation into what he calls an “illiberal democracy,” I’ve written extensively about him here and here and here. And Trump rambled at length about him last night. Here is their plan, based in large part on Orbán’s model:

What’s next for SpaceX’s Falcon 9
What’s next for SpaceX’s Falcon 9
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 is one of the world’s safest, most productive rockets. But now it’s been grounded: A rare engine malfunction on July 11 prompted the US Federal Aviation Administration to initiate an investigation and halt all Falcon 9 flights until further notice. The incident has exposed the risks of the US aerospace industry’s heavy reliance on the rocket.
