JORGE BURRUCHAGA : “Diego fue un extraterrestre. Más allá del futbolista, trascendió la persona. Trascendió desde su comportamiento, desde sus mensajes, sus frases. Diego tiene frases mágicas.
"Diego fue uno de los primeros que luchó por los derechos del futbolista. Hoy no estaría mal que traten de hacer algo por el calendario que tienen."
"Nos hizo a todos mejores. Fue una bandera y nos enseñó a los deportistas argentinos lo que es la defensa de la camiseta. Eso tiene un valor agregado que solamente él lo podía hacer. Fue un monstruo más allá del futbolista, fue un monstruo en todo sentido.
¡EL DIEGO LO FUE TODO! 🇦🇷
The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers.
If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems.
The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale.
We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability.
Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.

My album of the day. A maximalist, life-affirming feast so full it needed a bonus EP just to breathe. Funk, soul, sermons, jazz, and generous dollops of love. A 26 year-old genius opening every drawer at once.
1976.
