if i ran a restaurant in san francisco, i’d raise prices to psychotic levels.
$49 caesar salad.
$32 fries.
$24 sparkling water.
then i’d offer steep discounts based entirely on where you work.
teacher? discount.
nurse? discount.
city employee? discount.
barista? discount.
artist? discount.
openai, anthropic, meta, or google?
zero discount, full price.
surge pricing based on pure economics.
is this illegal?
This is ridiculous. Part of the guarantees that all FIFA World Cup hosts have to sign is the free movement of all participating teams and officials through the hosting counties. I know this because it was part of the guarantees the Indian government had to sign before hosting the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2017.

If he hadn’t been persecuted to death by his government, he could well have lived long enough to witness much of the computer revolution.
At age 57 he would’ve seen Apollo 11 land on the Moon, using the most advanced computers of the time
At age 69 he would’ve seen the release of the IBM PC
In his 80s he would’ve seen the dot com bubble.
If he made it to 95, he might have been there when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone.
So let me get this straight:
When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis.
When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation.
Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?
This is clear discrimination and political interference in sport. No team should be made to compete under conditions no other country would ever accept.
FIFA has a lot to answer for.
