When Arnold Schwarzenegger first arrived in the United States at age 21 in 1968, the first thing he did was head directly to "Muscle Beach," Southern California's famous outdoor bodybuilder hangout spot. Soon enough, Schwarzenegger became the undisputed king of both Muscle Beach and the world of bodybuilding, winning six straight Mr. Olympia contests starting in 1970.
Famed actor Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a photo of him sleeping on the street under his famous bronze statue, and sadly wrote "how times have changed" . The reason he wrote the phrase was not only because he was old, but because when he was governor of California he inaugurated a hotel with his statue. Hotel staff told Arnold, "at any moment you can come and we’ll have a room reserved for you." . When Arnold stepped down as governor and went to the hotel, the administration refused to give him a room arguing that he should pay for it, since they were in great demand . He brought a sleeping bag and stood underneath the statue and explained what he wanted to convey: "When I was in an important position, they always complimented me, and when I lost this position, they forgot about me and did not keep their promise. Do not trust your position or the amount of money you have, nor your power, nor your intelligence, it will not last. " . Trying to teach everyone that when you're "Important" in people's eyes , everyone is your "Friend" But once you don't benefit their interests , you won't matter anymore. According to Arnold, "Nothing lasts forever"...
@fopminui @fasc1nate Fake News. Arnold can afford any hotel in America. Two, American ethos look down on freebies. Three, on this, he was calling attention to homelessness in America, and nothing more. Fake News is still Fake News, however important the message. 🚮
@fopminui @fasc1nate 😢 I can understand the feeling of wanting to do something like that because of the helpless feeling.
@fopminui @fasc1nate Why are we not getting community notes to correct this misinformation?
