This is such a bizarre thing to write. 

Yes, sorry. They could not post the required bond. Thank you. Either way, the idea that they were bankrupted because they were so wrong on the merits is wrong.  

That explains why all their wins are in a row, and is great for the narrative of whether they’d make it to the playoffs, but they still played the same number away and home.

A reasonable rule that decent people should follow. But there are many people who argue that people shouldn’t be exposed for cheating on their wives. And then people will argue people shouldn’t be exposed for cheating on their taxes. Etc.

The shots of him climbing were much more interesting.

We’ve only lost 30k coal mining jobs, and we wank over that endlessly, despite it being a completely dead-end industry with no social or economic value going forward.
