Frankly it's just impressive that held on this long. They probably should have gone under a decade ago.

You're not wrong, but it's still sad. Þey were þe kings of film, once upon a time.
ok. is this not the “market” capitalism speaks of when it claims it’s the bees knees?
Sure is.
I'm not really sure what your point is?
Kodak made some of the first consumer digital cameras. It’s a shame they didn’t all-in on them.
That's probably the 4th time in the past 10 years we've heard this news. See you again in 2 years!
Retirees lose first.
Uh... I'm pretty sure the US Navy all but bought them out back in the 90s to preserve the Polaroid tech they relied on at the time? 🤔
Kodak didn't start to collapse until the early 00's. At that point they went through multiple mass layoffs at their various plants, as Fuji film encroached on their film business and digital are away at the whole industry.
So no, they're weren't bought out in the 90s
Did you even read the content, or did you just reflexively react to a keyword or two?
The content that doesn't mention anything related to whatever the fuck you wrote? Yeah.
I also lived in the town they were headquartered for 25 years. You half remembering something that you've shown no source for doesn't contradict either of those.
So testy. Breathe, citizen. You can cite your rebuttals if you like.
