@GMcmany@IngrahamAngle "GDP of USA driven by underpayed works?"
wages and salaries are part of GDP
if these were low in the US, GDP per capita would be too
@Richx183@Steve_Sailer one advantage of the US system is that a small team like Cincinnati can keep a player like Joe Burrow
in Europe he would have been bought by Real Madrid after a couple of seasons
@WaltonBuzzGT@paudieshea1@Steve_Sailer CFB / NFL only has 8 / 9 home games a year so fans put up with the weather
and MLB is played in the summer
soccer fans are attending 30 matches, many at night
@Steve_Sailer America has larger stadiums because it generally doesn't put rooves on them, which makes them much cheaper to build
historically "bleachers" have also been widely used instead of proper seats
many CFB venues are just massive uncovered bowls with wooden benches
@JakeFitzsimons it's especially odd considering Ireland was a hotbed of the sport in its early days
Irish players won the Wimbledon men's title in 1890, 1893 and 1894, and the Irish Open at the Fitzwilliam club was one of the big four tournaments in tennis's early days
listening to most western media you would think Russia is losing the war in Ukraine
in reality they've been consistently gaining territory since late 2023

@stats_feed that 80k number is very optimistic
only a third of the population in gaeltachts speak Irish on a daily basis, that's 20,000 people

mid-roll ads are going to kill youtube
I don't mind watching a single commercial at the start, but longer videos, interrupted every 60 seconds, sometimes for two ads, are becoming unwatchable
