12. that's the big open question: is it really 1% or is there more to it?

It is unfathomable that they would roll for 1%.

If you are 1% short you just keep slinging tote bags till you get it. It is the most listened-to network in the country. People will pay for it when push comes to shove.

It doesn't make a lick of sense. Either they are drastically over-valuing that 1% (in which case bring in new management), or that 1% is not an accurate representation of what is flowing in (in which case, elect Democrats so we can secure that funding again).
