Does this Pittsburgh data set include the roughly 3k population “decrease” due to the closing of the jail?

“Investment losses have been common across the country due to a bearish stock market, and UPMC has not been immune to those trends. In the first nine months of this year, UPMC reported more than $1.2 billion in losses from investing and financial services.”

Then what exactly does this paragraph mean?

Investment losses have been common across the country due to a bearish stock market, and “UPMC has not been immune to those trends. In the first nine months of this year, UPMC reported more than $1.2 billion in losses from investing and financial services.”

Your second point is what angers me. A health system, and almost all businessess shouldn’t be invested in the stock market. If they have so much extra capital that they have to spend it somewhere they should be investing in their personnel, their facilities and improving care.

I know the show is extremely popular, and 1 billion minutes is a lot of minutes. However using this kind of metric is meaningless to me and I suspect most people. How does this compare to other shows? How many people have hbo, the only legitimate place to watch it? 1 billion minutes isn’t a measurement literally anyone uses. It just sounds impressive and good clickbait bullshit for the PR bots to push on to the internet.
