I saw a comment saying the U.S. is the only country in the World Cup without universal healthcare. And I was like nahhh no way that's accurate.
20 seconds on the world wide web later, THE UNITES STATES IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD CUP WITHOUT UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE.
The World Cup fans falling in love with America aren’t in the places MAGA controls ... they’re in New York, LA, Seattle. Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, the cities Republicans have spent a decade calling dangerous, godless hellholes that apparently the entire world wants to visit.
The most successful car salesman in America had a different question:
Not “How do I sell this person a car today?” but “How do I make sure they come back to me for their next one?”
So he sometimes downsells, recommends a cheaper model that’s nearly as good. Builds instant trust. One McLaren salesman even saved Jay Leno $20k on ceramic brakes he didn’t need.
Rory Sutherland points out that if you only chase short-term, easily measured sales, you’ll never do this. The top guy probably looked average for his first few years.
Long-term success often looks like short-term “failure” when you’re playing a different game, one based on trust instead of extraction.

when we say “crime is a social construct”.
what we mean is that you, as an individual, can go to jaił for littering but a corporation can poıson the air, the soil, and the water of an entire town, and no one will go to jaił.
Australian World Cup fans were caught chanting:
“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”
The tournament is barely underway and the chants are already in midseason form. 💀
Robert De Niro: I'm pretty close to being a free speech absolutist. Even speech I don't like. But when I hear something I don't like, I use my own free speech to respond. When I hear Trump say, "I don't think about Americans' financial situation." I say, "shut the fuck up."
Musk is the leading example of an illegal immigrant living off public welfare in human history and the man spends every day pretending the real problem is a woman cleaning motel rooms in West Murfreesboro
Our species has let this evil man prosper and we will pay the price for it
Remember when Musk challenged the World Food Program to explain how he could solve world hunger with just $6 billion, they did, and he just completely ignored them?
I really don’t understand true greed. If I was worth $1 trillion, you’d have to physically stop me from solving as many of the world’s problems as possible.
Everyone would have a home, food on the table, proper healthcare, happiness.
I just don’t get it.
- 745k are homeless in the US
- medical bills are the #1 cause of bankruptcy
- over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck
- bottom 80% of Americans have just 7% of the wealth
Yet this criminal is now a trillionaire. We’re a failed country.
