It's the difference between knowing, and not knowing. You "knew" it would go up exactly 10% (somehow), but you didn't actually know until you had reporting to that effect. But you're all like, "No, don't tell me, I would rather live in a state of eternal suspense."

Fine, die on that hill. I suppose you're the sort of person that thinks a hunch is as good as objective reporting. Maybe the news isn't your thing at all.

Edit: Look at it this way. Presumably, if this is "not news" because it's so obvious, then in your view, it WOULD be news if it DIDN'T go up by 10%. Well that's what this fucking article is about, okay? It's about how it didn't not go up 10%. It's about how you can stop waiting to be surprised by it not going up 10%. JFC.

They came to the same fucking interpretation as you did, but that's still not good enough. "Apparently" they don't just have to oppose nazis, they have to participate in your daily Two Minutes Of Hate. Clearly differentiating between objective observation and the inferences drawn from those objective observations IS A GOOD THING. So fucking fragile.

Okay, so you were REALLY saying, "Why is this surprising?" Except NO ONE SAID IT WAS, so of course we assumed you were asking, "Why is this in the news?"

So, Google before the IPO.

It literally is. You're using a colloquial meaning of "news", and you are saying something like, "this news is unsurprising." BUT IT'S STILL A REPORT OF TOPICAL EVENTS HAPPENING RECENTLY, IE, IT'S THE FUCKING NEWS.

White River is a small town on the north shore of Superior. It has a bunch of Pooh kitch as his birthplace (not Winnipeg as one might assume), and a Robin's on the Transcanada.

Wouldn't say "enemy" exactly, but I think it's fair to say there isn't a Western democracy in the world that views the USA as a reliable ally right now. Because you're a Russian asset.

You are reading a bunch of preconceived nonsense into this. And one wonders why you need to.
