Hey,worked in creative & production 4 broadcast media & film 35 years; even produced handful of commercials during a dry spell.
Commercials are ‘premium retail’ of filmmaking. Budgets & schedules are inflated & crew/craft day rates the highest anywhere.
But $220M is exponentially over the top.

So let’s get this straight:
Trump’s DOJ buried Epstein’s crimes but kept flight logs on Julie K. Brown, the reporter who exposed them. Her 2019 American Airlines booking shows up in the files.
That’s not a data glitch or an oversight.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is changing when your mail actually receives a postmark.
No longer will your mail be postmarked on the day you dropped it off.
Who decided this was a good idea?
No good is going to come of this.

There’s been a change on when your mail will receive a postmark. Until 12/24 of this year it was when you dropped off your letter. Now it’s when a machine processes your mail which could be days later. This has implications for time sensitive mail including vote by mail! There are ways around it!

And people are d/c'd from hospitals & rehab facilities much more quickly then in the past. Duration of inpatient/rehab stays are significantly reduced.
So OF COURSE there's more need for in-home care (in addition to age demographics)
The only ? is whether the M's are stupider than they are racist.
