People mad about this don’t have any real problems, literally getting mad at an abstraction. I almost want them to move just to spite Bears fans who want the ILgov to pay the McCaskeys for no reason.
The Bears’ Board of Directors voted Thursday to advance the stadium development in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact to be selected. This is this first time that the Bears’ board has voted on any stadium site.
As one source said, “There is more work to do but barring anything very strange, it’s a done deal.”
Democrats do this all the time. They select just enough Democrats to vote with Republicans to make sure these horrible bills pass then the rest of the Democrats vote “no” to make it look like the party opposes ICE funding. But it’s all an act. Insane that folks still fall for it.
In all seriousness, this is quite a revealing conversation from the perspective of world-systems theory. Macron is appealing to Trump by saying "hey were are both part of the imperial core, let's focus on our shared objective of subordinating the periphery". What he fails to understand, or just doesn't want to acknowledge, is that there is a hierarchy within the imperial core itself.
The US is the main imperial power and seeks to shape the rest of the core, including Western Europe, in its own interests. This has historically included interfering in European elections and even drafting plans for invasions. The US will not blink at the prospect of invading European territory in order to advance its geopolitical power.
Macron is foolish if he believes he can appeal to core-core solidarity, because from the perspective of the US no such thing exists. The correct approach is for Europe to break from the US and chart a more independent path.
Dodgers might be the designated sin-eater who is appointed to sign all the big name FAs, which “ builds consensus” on the need for a salary cap. Lockout in 2027 won’t be blamed directly on “player greed” but on a “broken system” no one is individually responsible for.
