So they spent like drunken sailors on non-COVID support programs for 2 years, racked up a ####load of debt, and are now paying 30%+ each month to service that debt, and somehow have now managed to spent $57 billion less this year in the same period, and that all equals good news.
I guess when your comparing a dumpster fire to the Oilers, one would take the dumpster fire instead.
