NEW: World Cup tickets cost up to $11.5 million — you could get into the last WC for $11.

This time FIFA could rake in $13 billion using dynamic pricing, resales, and lax U.S. rules.

We found FIFA President Gianni Infantino funneling that money into keeping himself in power.

I once DM’d someone who was constantly criticizing me online and asked why they hated me.

His response changed how I think about the internet.

Full conversation with Eugene and Brené Brown is up now.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”

“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)

“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”

“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”

Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”

“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”

Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”

Friendly reminder that on November 23rd, 2024, Jaxson Dart threw an interception vs Florida to seal the game, cried about it on the sideline, had the play overturned, then came back on the field with tears in his eyes to throw another one and cried some more

BOOM! SAY IT LOUDER:
Gary Chambers Jr. just dragged Louisiana Republicans — while Speaker Mike Johnson wears holes in his kneepads for Dear Leader.

Louisiana ranks dead last in economy and crime, 46th in education, 48th in infrastructure, 49th in environment, 46th in opportunity, with 18.9% poverty — worst in America.

But they're stripping power from a Black-majority New Orleans instead of fixing any of it.

This isn't reform. It's racist reconstructionism.
Gary said it plainly: "You lost every constitutional amendment you proposed, even in your own districts."

They don't ask the people because they know they'd lose. No choice. No vote. No voice.

“Billionaires already pay more taxes than you ever will” is one of the most financially illiterate arguments on this app because it confuses nominal dollars with effective burden.

A billionaire paying $500M in taxes sounds enormous until you remember they gained $20B in asset value while doing it. The relevant metric is percentage, not raw dollars. A teacher paying 22% of a $60k salary is carrying a heavier proportional burden than someone paying 8% while their wealth compounds tax-deferred through stock appreciation.

And this “their money was already taxed” line is mostly fiction at billionaire scale.

Middle-class wealth is usually income that got taxed, then saved. Billionaire wealth is overwhelmingly unrealized appreciation. Tesla stock going vertical did not mean Elon “earned” $100B in taxable salary. The shares appreciated. Under current law, that appreciation can sit untaxed for decades, get borrowed against for liquidity, then receive stepped-up basis treatment at death that can erase the embedded gains entirely.

That is not “double taxation.” In many cases it is functionally zero taxation on the primary mechanism of wealth accumulation.

People also weirdly talk about billionaires like they emerged from the forest carrying capitalism on their backs with no public inputs involved.

Their companies rely on:
public roads
public courts
public contract enforcement
public utilities
public universities
public research grants
public internet infrastructure
public IP law
public military-protected trade routes
public education systems producing labor

The modern corporation is not built in isolation. It operates inside an enormous state-supported framework.

And no, asking whether someone should contribute proportionally to maintaining the system that enabled $100B fortunes is not “greed.” That framing is emotional theater designed to avoid discussing the actual structure of tax law.

The real debate is simple:
Should labor income be taxed continuously while massive asset appreciation can compound largely untouched for generations?

That’s the argument. Everything else is distraction.
