Because Treasurys are seen as the safest investment on Earth, economists and investors say a default would likely trigger a recession for ...

___ 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, 16 Dec 2024 19:48:28 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...

DENVER (KDVR) -- The Denver Nuggets were up 3-0 against the Los Angeles Lakers going into Monday's Game 4 of the NBA Western Conference finals, meaning the team is only one win away from the NBA Finals.This has led some people to speculate -- and hotly anticipate -- that the Nuggets could soon be making history in a first-ever finals appearance. Nuggets could be headed to NBA Finals for 1st time ever Even though the future is uncertain, you might be wondering if you can already buy tickets to a game before it's announced.Are NBA Finals tickets on sale?Yes, sort of.Because the conference finals aren't over, there are no set dates or times. This also means there isn't a set opponent yet, but if they do go to the finals, they will play against either the Miami Heat or the Boston Celtics.But with the way the NBA Finals are structured, it is guaranteed that if Denver does pull off four total wins against the Lakers, at least two finals games will be played in the Mile High City. 11 t...
