The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

in order to follow NBA this year, fans need a Peacock sub, a League Pass, a cable or streaming sub, and a Prime Video sub. Can the NBA owners and Adam Silver be any more explicit about their priorities when it comes to fans? Oh I forgot, fan following is all time hiGH and not an issue at all. ⚰️ #NBA

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.
