1/ $197,000 a month. That’s the average formal-sector salary in Jamaica right now. A “middle income” household pulls $300 to 500K combined. On paper, that’s fine. In practice, rent alone eats 40-50% of it which is almost double the safe international limit.
This red card business is just a microcosm of American cultural viewpoint that any act done by America is an innately righteous act because America does it
An awful despicable culture
🇨🇺 CUBA | The Nation, citing a leaked State Department cable obtained by reporter Ken Klippenstein, reports Secretary of State Marco Rubio directed U.S. embassies to lobby countries to oppose a July 7 U.N. General Assembly debate on the humanitarian impact of U.S. sanctions on Cuba.
The cable reportedly instructs allies to criticize Cuba, urges nonaligned states to stay silent, and warns countries supporting the debate that Washington “will be listening very closely” to their remarks and discourages comments that could “create friction” in bilateral ties.
Cuba said the U.S. is trying to block debate through pressure and threats.

Russia’s banned from the World Cup & Olympics. The US is hosting both while openly cheating, facilitating genocide, kidnapping and murdering the leaders of sovereign states and murdering fisherman in boats and posting the snuff films on the official White House account.
I don't mean this as some sort of gotcha for the OP, but really the entire World Cup should have been boycotted the moment the US prevented the Irani team from remaining in the country after every day. We are here precisely because no action was taken there.
Possible corruption and cheating aside, hilarious that the Trump administration were allegedly pushing hard to reinstate a player who is a literal birthright citizen. His pregnant mother gave birth to him on a visit because the airline wouldn’t let her board her return flight.
First Cristiano Ronaldo, now Folarin Balogun. But when a Somali referee can't get in the country it's "unfortunate" but we should "chill and relax". No qualms with the Iranian team being ferried across the border as soon as possible.
Brazen and shameful
🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card.
FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.
FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.
