When a profitable company is hit by a very large liability, as was the case in 1985 when
Texaco lost a $12 billion court case against Pennzoil, the solution is not to have the
government buy its assets at inflated prices: the solution is Chapter 11. In Chapter 11,
companies with a solid underlying business generally swap debt for equity: the old equity
holders are wiped out and the old debt claims are transformed into equity claims in the
new entity which continues operating with a new capital structure. Alternatively, the
debtholders can agree to cut down the face value of debt, in exchange for some warrants.

Why are you beautiful? It sounds like the asker doubts that beauty is really there. The real dilemma is beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

There is grace, candor, and giving qualities to beauty. It’s like the tree in the forest bit. Is there a sound, if no one is there to hear it? I never give any thought to my own “beauty”, but it is a part of my life. I am a beauty judge. Everyone I see gets the eye. There is a computer value being tallied up, especially with seeing a woman. It’s God’s gift to men – and I thank Him for that. It may be the basic reason mankind ever pursued mathematics in the first place. When you see it, you want to melt.
