I’m saying scrap value is minimal as it will be sold and scrapped over there.

Not sure where the miscommunication in the message is. It’s a huge loss.

$7B worth of sophisticated over priced equipment + $X value labor to scrap + $7B+ of replacement equipment \> $100? mil (optimistic) of scrap value at their rate.

$14B(+) + $X \> $100mil
