Following the link to the billboard article, I see the news station just parrots Mike Johnson’s PR statement with no push back at all. Thanks, media!

I assumed he hadn’t sold his stock because HP paid a dividend (which could’ve been substantial with all his stock from being there so long). But HP doesn’t. 🤷

A waiting mortuary was designed to confirm that dead people were truly deceased. To alleviate the fear of being buried alive, recently deceased were housed for a time in waiting mortuaries, where attendants would watch for signs of life. A bell was strung to the corpses to alert attendants of motion. It's erroneously believed that this was the origin of the phrase "saved by the bell", but the phrase really comes from boxing.
