So you are willing to pay them for their political bias spin in every story? Why give them your support?

This sums that up!

What does "highest holder of gold per tonne" mean?

Current GM president Mary Barra is a fully WOKE S&P 500 executive, which means she recognizes profit as evil and will milk the federal government teat until it runs dry.

Nice to see you can find humor in the death of a human being.

I enjoyed your post and understood it. Interesting how many people did not. I've read so many things by subpar writers. Your post shows how some people overlook things while others have an attention to detail. I am with you in the latter group. 😉

Would that person be less dead if that poster did not make a humorous comment???? We are all mortal and most of us are closer to the end than the beginning. Humor is a compensating release mechanism. If you want to read the bible on black humor, may I suggest "The House of God" about medical residency in Boston.

I DO NOT subscribe. Only quickly look thru some free stories. Not the ones in the Left column.

H-m-m-m. A new claim to fame, maybe, since that would be a first.

I know some people don't process what they read, or understand why a detail is given, or frankly care about details or truth.

One death.
One death of one worker.
One death of one visitor.
One death of one supervisor.
One death of one EMT responder.
One death of one executive.

These were all possibilities, but this newspaper decided to tell you more than simply writing one death. They could have written one death of a worker, but I have no quibble with the chosen very clear sentence.
