Scott, Mitch McConnell is a Trump-hating thorn in the side of the American people. We wish him well in his retirement, which should start today, thank you. And hopefully you will, having done your gracious duty, now work to get a replacement who will get the SAVE ACT passed.
All incorrect. The US has done a phenomenal job hosting the World Cup. These guys are paid very well to perform. They choked on the biggest stage. If you want to give them juice boxes and participation trophies, go for it.
This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich.
Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are.
But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar.
They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly.
It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy.
Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.

Political parties tend to switch their identities and platforms periodically, but people whose identities are tied to their party usually stick around regardless. I left the Democrats in 2021 and now identify as an Independent. My views remain classically liberal, and they currently align most closely with the priorities of the right , but I still evaluate each issue independent of party lines.
When I think of Dave Pasch leaving the Cardinals, I think of the old saying, “don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” To have a broadcaster of Dave’s quality last in the local radio booth for nearly a quarter-century, was a blessing for Cardinals fans everywhere.
