    Too bad they get the ads instead of the cash.

    This season must be very lucrative for those who make political ads.

      This election cycle will cost America $15 billion.

      That’s enough money to build over 3,500 elementary schools. Or over 35,000 homes.

    It’s genuinely nuts. The only thing I watch with ads is Jeopardy, and it’s not an overstatement to say there are some breaks where every single ad is a political ad. Maybe you get one or two other ads ever.

    Thankfully, I record it through Jellyfin and just skip the ads. But it’s absolutely ridiculous.
