Boikott FIFA world cup in the US!
FIFA has a long, ugly history of corruption — from the 2015 arrests of top officials for bribery and selling World Cup hosting rights, to years of scandals that showed the organization puts money and power first.
Now the 2026 World Cup (starting this Thursday) is already a mess because of US policies:
• Somali referee Omar Artan — Africa’s best ref in 2025 and the first Somali ever picked for a World Cup — was denied entry at Miami airport on June 6 despite a valid visa. FIFA dropped him.
• Iran’s national team is stuck basing itself in Tijuana, Mexico. Players got last-minute US visas, but support staff were blocked. The team can only enter the US on match days.
• Iraqi delegation hit problems too: a striker was detained for hours at Chicago airport and the team photographer was denied entry.
• Fans from several countries are facing visa denials or huge delays because of US travel bans and extra vetting.
Aprilfool!?
Post-WWII US working-class life (1945-1973):
Strong unions (~35%), wages rose 91% with productivity.
Single breadwinner afforded house, car, family.
Employer pensions (defined benefit) + health insurance standard.
1970s turning point: Stagflation + globalization hit manufacturing.
Since 1973: Typical worker pay up just ~9% while productivity +74%.
Unions fell to ~10%, inequality soared.
Today: Most live paycheck-to-paycheck, dual incomes required.
Health care still job-tied & costly; millions underinsured.
Pensions rare—401ks leave many retirement-insecure.
Gig work, long hours, housing crunch define daily grind.
Unlike most European countries, the US offers far weaker safety nets, no universal healthcare, and thinner pensions.
@UriksFredrik@DefenceNor Nei, han er en mer ekstrem versjon. Burde heller avsette hele administrasjonen ved bruk av grunnloven artikkel 2, seksjon 4. Få vekk hele sirkuset.
@ZacksJerryRig@elonmusk@TukiFromKL And no oversight, and sold all American personal info to God knows who. For a man that credits privacy so high he certainly doesn’t care for everyone else privacy.
Do people realize just how insane it is that the entire world believes the word of Iran over an American president? That's how duplicitous and dishonest the world views America's serial lying psychopath. 😂🤣👇
Well it’s defence alliance! Not an a «Russian» copycat aggressor. America f*cked up big time with this action. And the US promised to secure Ukraine if they gave up their nuclear arsenal. Fu*k Marco Rubio and the backstabbing empty promises. The only thing this administration has done is threaten the alliance with invasion and talking constant trash.
You reap what you sow
