USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.

That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.

You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.

[Team SD Worx - Protime @teamsdworx]

Verklaring Team SD Worx – Protime na diskwalificatie Lorena Wiebes

Team SD Worx – Protime is verbijsterd over de beslissing van de UCI-jury dat de fiets van Lorena Wiebes na de eerste etappe van de Giro d’Italia Women niet voldoet aan de minimale gewichtslimiet volgens artikel 2.12.007–2.2. Volgens de jury woog de fiets 6,78 kilogram en voldeed deze daarmee niet aan de door de UCI vastgestelde ondergrens van 6,8 kilogram.

De ploeg plaatst vraagtekens achter de meetcontrole van de fietsen in de Giro d’Italia Women. Zo was er een gewichtsverschil van meer dan vijftig gram tussen de eerste en de tweede weging van de fiets van Wiebes na afloop van de rit in Ravenna.

Wiebes heeft gedurende dit seizoen meerdere malen met deze fiets gereden, die steeds op dezelfde manier is afgemonteerd. Met deze fiets behaalde zij vele overwinningen. Bovendien is de fiets eerder dit jaar na afloop van meerdere wedstrijden, die door Wiebes in de sprint met groot verschil werden gewonnen, door de UCI-jury gewogen. Daarbij bleek telkens dat het gewicht van de fiets ruim boven de grens van 6,8 kilogram lag. Het team begrijpt daarom niet hoe het mogelijk is dat diezelfde fiets nu onder de gewichtslimiet uitkomt.

Team SD Worx – Protime is van mening dat de diskwalificatie van Wiebes een buitengewoon zware sanctie is. In een vlakke sprintrit, in tegenstelling tot een bergrit, levert een gering gewichtsverschil nauwelijks voordeel op. Zeker niet voor een renster als Wiebes, die in Ravenna met drie fietslengtes verschil de sprint wist te winnen.

Team SD Worx – Protime, al vijftien jaar een toonaangevende ploeg binnen het vrouwenpeloton, heeft dan ook geen verklaring voor het feit dat de fiets van Wiebes ditmaal deze gewichtscontrole niet heeft doorstaan.

Statement from Team SD Worx–Protime regarding the disqualification of Lorena Wiebes

Team SD Worx – Protime is astonished by the decision of the UCI commissaires' panel that Lorena Wiebes' bicycle did not comply with the minimum weight limit after the first stage of the Giro d'Italia Women, in accordance with UCI Article 2.12.007–2.2. According to the jury, the bicycle weighed 6.78 kilograms and therefore did not meet the UCI's minimum weight requirement of 6.8 kilograms.
The team has serious questions about the bicycle-weighting procedures at the Giro d'Italia Women. For example, there was a weight difference of more than 50 grams between the first and second weighing of Wiebes' bicycle after the finish of the stage in Ravenna.

Wiebes has ridden this bicycle on multiple occasions this season, always with the same setup. She achieved numerous victories on this bike. Moreover, earlier this year, the bicycle was weighed by UCI officials after several races in which Wiebes won sprint finishes convincingly. On each occasion, the bicycle's weight was found to be comfortably above the 6.8-kilogram limit. The team therefore does not understand how the very same bicycle could now suddenly be measured below the minimum weight requirement.

Team SD Worx – Protime believes that Wiebes' disqualification is an exceptionally severe sanction. In a flat sprint stage, unlike a mountain stage, a small reduction in weight provides virtually no advantage. This is certainly true for a rider like Wiebes, who won the sprint in Ravenna by three bicycle lengths.

Team SD Worx – Protime, a leading team in the women's peloton for the past fifteen years, has no explanation for why Wiebes' bicycle was found to be under the minimum weight on this occasion.
