I posted a video 4 months of the Dutch doing this at last Euros saying “This is coming to Houston”.
Was told nah, maybe 1/10th of the numbers.
Here we are and it looks like there is more Orange in Texas than there was in Germany in 2024 👀
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.
31 Years Ago TODAY Rudy T uttered the most Iconic Words in Houston Sports History after Sweeping the Magic in the Finals. Goosebumps ♥️
"We had Non-Believers all along the way. I have 1 thing to say to all those Non-Believers. Don't Ever Underestimate the Heart of a Champion!"
🌌 EL CIELO SE VOLVIÓ ROJO… Y NADIE SABÍA POR QUÉ 😱
Luces rojas invadieron el cielo de Suecia y Noruega… 🇸🇪🇳🇴
De repente, todo cambió.
Un resplandor intenso, brillante… casi irreal. 🔴
Personas salieron a grabar, pensando en lo peor: explosiones, incendios… incluso algo fuera de este mundo 👽
Pero la verdad era aún más impactante.
Se trataba de una aurora boreal…
Un fenómeno natural provocado por partículas del Sol chocando con la atmósfera.
Lo inquietante no era su origen…
Sino su color.
Completamente roja…
Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.
400 of them are now worth over $100 million.
These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.
Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.
Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."
The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.
Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.
VERY SAD NEWS !!!!
This is so disappointing.
CNN reported today that Walt Disney's new film called "Jet Black," the African-American version of "Snow White" has been cancelled.
All of the seven dwarfs:
Dealer, Stealer, Mugger, Forger, Drive- By, Homeboy, and Shank have refused to sing "Hi Ho, Hi Ho" because they say it offends black prostitutes.
They also say there ain't no way in hell they're gonna sing, “It's off to work we go.”
