What a night for Cape Verde.
We made one of the top teams, if not THE top team in the world, sweat. Their players were pushed to the limit in the end.
No resources. No fame. Just talent, passion and belief.
I am so proud of my people.
You haven't seen the last of us. ✊🏼🇨🇻
🔥 HELL YEAH! A pilot just used his airplane to draw a USA 250th banner using his flight path
It took him over FIVE HOURS of flying time to do this.
What a PATRIOT! 🇺🇸
@FreddyLA7 It looks like it's taking you through Rockland County in NY, if you're crossing the Hudson at the Tappan Zee (fine... the Mario Cuomo) bridge. If so you've gotta check out @RocklandBakery
Hey @waitbutwhy , are the parts of #TheStoryofUs that were on waitbutwhy but didnt make it into the book ever going to see the light of day again? I really enjoyed them.
.@Hulu you're making a BIG MISTAKE. HUGE. Revive the Buffy The Vampire Slayer reboot. Tons of fans will now be cancelling their subscription unless you do something!!!
Like / RT to spread the word and show Hulu the demand for this series!
@MarkRPellegrino I think about my Harry (black lab/retriever) and Opie (white pitbull with big black splotches scattered) all the time. Frankie is missed. 💙
Here’s what I think will happen in NYC under Mahdami.
The free buses and government grocery stores won’t happen, they never do. They sound good during campaigns, but collapse under basic math. You can’t run a city on ideas that cost billions and produce no revenue.
The only way to make housing affordable is to build more housing. The free market lowers prices, not regulation. Every time politicians try to control rent or force affordability by decree, developers stop building and landlords stop maintaining. Supply dries up, the quality collapses, and the few properties that remain skyrocket in price.
Once landlords can’t make a profit, they sell, lose properties, or walk away. Eventually, the government takes over.
Taxes will rise to pay for the promises, and the middle class will be the ones shouldering the burden. The rich will relocate, the poor will depend on subsidies, and the productive class will be squeezed from both sides.
Thriving businesses are the foundation of any thriving city. When they leave, everything else follows, jobs, schools, grocery stores, stability. Chicago already proved this. Boeing, McDonald’s, Caterpillar, Citadel, nearly 70k jobs, all gone. Now they’re facing billion-dollar deficits, half empty schools and neighborhoods without grocery stores.
I saw someone who lived in a rent-controlled apartment in California put it perfectly, he said his landlord could no longer afford maintenance so the pool was filled with dirt, the floors had soft spots, and the foundation ended up cracking. That’s what overregulation does, it destroys quality.
People who voted for this will eventually feel the pain but they won’t blame the policies or the politicians, they’ll blame the rich for leaving.
This conversation is always difficult because most people simply don’t understand market dynamics or incentives. In a free society, people act in their own self-interest. If you remove profit and reward dependency, productivity dies and the city with it.
If you think things are expensive now, just wait until they’re “free.”

The algorithm has forsaken me, and I’m definitely shadowbanned, so if you see this please like and repost so it will “fix” it or whatever they say.
