@dirk_fasshauer We do play better sports. The Economist magazine years ago literally wrote and article about how American exceptionalism turned cricket into a clearly superior and more entertaining sport—baseball.
@Microinteracti1 73 percent of imports. By definituon, the US can’t import from itself
Europe is great—does that make you feel better? But American companies are more innovative overall and we make more things than Europe. This isn’t a secret.
@0x7E1ECA57@MarkGottlieb America still has like 50 percent of pharmaceutical and technology patents—so it doesn’t really matter. American is still exceptional and benefits everyone else
@aakashgupta The US also has a different athletic culture. I don’t think Americans care enough about soccer to upned how we do all this. We have football, basketball, and baseball
@Coach_Yac There’s so much variability with our age and injury status. If we had prime/uinjured McCaffrey, Kittle, Williams, Evans, Bosa, and Warner we might go 17-0. Depending on what condition we get these guys we could also go 7-10.
@nowthisimpact I don’t think prisons or police are founding principles. In fact our founders probably were a little more weary of those things than people at other points in history given their recent history with the British
@CensoredHumans We saved millions from dying and Japan is now our closest ally and friend and has thrived. We’ve never used them again. You want the messianic Theocracy of Iran having nuclear weapons?
@Fullcourtpass Can’t beat him on the basketball court so you bring him down by saying he’s not in aligned with your speculative beliefs about the reality of the Universe.
@allenanalysis The Christian right wants to devour everything and be the only purveyors of truth. The world is so much more complex and wondrous than they are making it out be.
@Askwhyisit We need to get to a place in Humanity where like the Bible is 60 percent true and the Koran is like 30 percent true. Like take the good and ethical and beautiful things in both books but not actually understand these books as realty of the Universe.
