    Wouldn’t 2 & 5 be people? As in, not person?

    Between the popularity of the site, the movie, and the $100M gift to Newark, anyone who didn’t see this coming is blind.

    But because it is obvious, that doesn’t make the fact that it is disappointing. We’ll look back on this choice a decade from now and try to remember why he was a big deal.

    I’m disappointed in this selection.
