Real shame the US is hosting the World Cup while football is in its boring, overly tactical era. Bc the sport isn't a major pillar of their culture, this was supposed to be their litmus test. But modern tactics have totally killed creative flair & risk-taking. It's a snooze fest.
Are we over the World Cup high a bit? Can one make an observation?
Soccer is boring and will never become an American sport.
And to the extent it does despite that, it’ll reflect the country’s changing demographics, not changing tastes.
There, I said it.
Lyn Alden: "The best product Coca-Cola ever sold was their bonds, not their Coke."
Coca-Cola borrows at 2-3% while the money supply grows at 7%. They then use that cheap debt to buy scarcer assets.
Governments do it. Corporations do it. Wealthy individuals do it. Everyone is shorting the currency...
Except the people at the bottom.
They can't access cheap debt and "are getting the full damage of the inflation" on their wages and savings.

We know what life after remigration looks like. You just have to look at Poland. This was what all of Europe was like 20 years ago. Peaceful, calm, civilised. It's time to get it back.
Ich bin im Freibad in Polen. Keine Grabscher. Keine Belästigung. Keine Gefahr für Frauen, Kinder und Familien. Alles friedlich. Alles zivilisiert. Und dann denke ich an die Freibäder heutzutage in Deutschland. Was bitte ist mit der Gesellschaft in Deutschland passiert!?
Was thinking about bullshit jobs yesterday and how utterly corrosive to the soul they must be. Work that is not tied to results - often where you don’t really have to do anything at all. Terrible, soul-destroying way to spend your days
The one simple fact nobody is prepared to face is the fiscal catastrophe of uneducated migrants absorbing resources for generations.

The Dutch Ministry of Finance engaged the School of Economics at The University of Amsterdam to study the extent to which different migrant groups cost the Dutch taxpayer.
The results were horrifying; the average Somalia or Sudanese cost €650,000 over their lifetime a figure which remained unchanged through 1st, 2nd & 3rd generations.
Let that sink in @elonmusk
Extrapolating to the UK @£500k per immigrant (a conservative estimate) for every thousand illegal migrants coming ashore on the south coast we collectively incur a £500,000,000 long term liability.
Unless we change course a fiscal crunch is guaranteed. Immigration should primarily benefit the host population and not the immigrant themselves.
To add to our impending penury the legal migrants who arrive in the UK are also largely net beneficiaries. This is collective fiscal suicide. One would hope we could stop this bet it is too late but @ShabanaMahmood latest plan accelerates us towards the precipice.
If she can’t make the case for selecting low value add immigrants then we should reverse course.
The only party with a ‘Red List’ is @SDPhq
We need a hard headed, pragmatic alternative to the suicidal policies pursued by @Conservatives & @UKLabour

In 1851, England built what was then the largest glass building on Earth.
The Crystal Palace was designed by Joseph Paxton for the Great Exhibition. Made from prefabricated iron and glass, it covered 19 acres and was erected in just nine months, an extraordinary feat for the time.
After the exhibition it was dismantled, moved to South London and rebuilt even larger on Sydenham Hill.
It stood there for more than 80 years before being destroyed by fire in 1936. The surrounding area still carries its name: Crystal Palace.
One of the greatest engineering achievements of Victorian England no longer exists.

🇫🇷🔴"They filmed themselves again over Louis as he lay in his blood, laughing. They think nothing will happen to them."
Louis was murdered by 5 multicultural thugs in Narbonne, who beat him to death on video. Now, Louis' aunt speaks to the press for the first time.
She said she even learned that the thugs' own defense lawyers are horrified by their own clients.
"And I got a piece of confidential information from a female lawyer—not directly, but she was court-appointed and dealt with the police custody of one of Louis' murderers. She came out crying after seeing the videos, and especially after seeing the behavior of her client, who basically found it normal and was even quite proud of himself."

I remember watching Stranger Things with my cousins kids (8-12). They kept asking, "Was life really like that?" I had to convince them that kids actually had that level of freedom up until the early 2010s. Unfetted liberalism & our debt-based system it's stealing their future.
