Housing for All requires us to get to the heart of everything that is slowing and stopping housing in the city," Breed said.The legislation announced Monday is part...

Tens of thousands of soldiers on both sides have died.Satellite imagery shows infrastructure, apartment blocks and buildings reduced to rubble from relentless artillery attacks.A Russian state TV report from the smoldering city showed Russian fighters yelling “Victory!” and placing two flags — the Russian tricolor and the black flag of the private military contractor Wagner — atop a tall, partly destroyed building.The flags were mounted “so that everyone could see them,” the correspondent said, even though the bombed-out, deserted 400-year-old city looks like a ghost of itself after the longest and bloodiest battle of the war.For Ukraine, the important fact...

___ What it would mean for the global economy if the US defaults on its debtWASHINGTON (AP) — If the debt crisis roiling Washington were eventually to send the United States crashing into recession, America’s economy would hardly sink alone. The repercussions of a first-ever default on the federal debt would quickly reverberate around the world. Orders for Chinese factories that sell electronics to the United States could dry up. Swiss investors who own U.S. Treasurys would suffer losses. Sri Lankan companies could no longer deploy dollars as an alternative to their own dodgy currency. Moody’s Analytics has concluded that even if the debt limit were breached for no more than week, the U.S. economy would weaken so much, so fast, as to wipe out 1.5 million jobs.___Meta fined record $1.3 billion and ordered to stop sending European user data to USLONDON (AP) — The European Union has slapped Meta with a record $1.3 billion privacy fine and ordered it to stop transferring users’ personal...

Michael Malone one of least liked NBA coaches, survey says

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:50:24 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) -- It makes very little difference how well the team performs - National Basketball Association fans have mainly negative views of coaches.Sports Gambling site Betway combed through millions of tweets to see which NBA coach is the most loved - or the least hated, at least. Nuggets could be headed to NBA Finals for 1st time ever Perhaps unsurprisingly, negative opinions online are far more common than positive ones. The league's most loved coach is the Indiana Pacers' Rick Carlisle, about whom 30.9% of tweets were positive - meaning over two-thirds were negative for even the most popular coach in the league. However, this comparatively positive assessment comes with a caveat - Carlisle only had 2,421 tweets about him in the past 12 months, the lowest amount of any coach in the comparison.Apparently, a winning record makes little difference in the public's perception of the coach. The Denver Nuggets could be headed to the NBA Finals for the first t...
