“England historically has struggled here in Massachusetts” — #WorldCup announcer on Fox 👀

There's the World Cup and a whole bunch of other shit going on, please seek out a therapist if you're spending more than a few moments thinking about the White House Reflecting Pool.

NYT headline yesterday: A driver in a Tesla vehicle that was engaged in automated driver-assistance mode crashed into a house in Texas and killed a woman. Today: Tesla logs confirm the driver manually overrode the self-driving system and had the accelerator floored the entire time. The first headline (lie) gets all the clicks. The facts get overlooked. And the NYT doesn't bother with a correction because it doesn't fit their narrative.

Most of my friends in Paris/London have a distorted view of the US, and sometimes a weird superiority complex. They think only the top 1% lives well and everyone else is trapped in social collapse (guns, healthcare horror stories, obesity, politics, LA homelessness, NYC dysfunction). Then they visit random suburbs in Texas, Florida or the Midwest and see middle-class families clearing $300k+/year with huge houses, multiple cars, space, AC, full restaurants, youth sports complexes and mass retail abundance. The uncomfortable reality is that a lot of “ordinary” Americans live materially better than European elites. Idk if it's media manipulation, denial of reality or straight ignorance, but we’re getting underclassed and most people only realize it when they land there.

European football fans visiting America are discovering the mass affluence of the country’s suburbs. The wealth enticing holidaymakers troubles European elites. America, once a peer, seems to be racing ahead economist.com/finance-and-ec…

A decline in car break-ins across Oakland is being welcomed as a public safety win, but it is also contributing to a downturn for some local auto glass repair businesses. ktvu.com/news/auto-glas…

“LOL the US fans actually think they can win the World Cup”. Buddy, we have won 2 World Wars and landed on the Moon by just thinking we can do something. It’s literally our whole thing.

If @SenWarren shared her $67M and lived on the $285K (itself a great salary) every public school teacher in her state could receive a $900 bonus and she would still make more than 3x the average salary of those teachers. #YouGoFirstSenator

There are currently 190,000 children in Chicago living below the poverty level. For the price of the $900 million Obama library, we could have given each one of these poor children in Chicago $4,736. Am I doing this right?

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire tax, we could fully cover free community college in America.

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world. And they are not handling it well. In the best possible way. Here is what they are discovering: Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time. Free water at every restaurant. Just appears. Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited. Free chips and salsa before you even order. Free warm bread with dinner. Ice in drinks like civilized people. Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact. Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going. Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it. Ranch dressing by the gallon. Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced. Dental care that actually works. Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s. Then they found the grocery stores. Five of them within one mile. Each one the size of an aircraft hangar. Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday. The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes. In silence. Processing. They finally understand why we do not have trains. We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive. Parking lots the size of small European countries. Airports in every city worth visiting. Why would we need trains. The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle. The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak. The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre. The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas. Welcome to America. Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined. Write that down. 🦋

Every Father's Day I'd like cinemas to have a "Dad Slop" slate. Shit like The Fugitive, Patriot Games, Lethal Weapon and Tombstone. Make it an all dayer and serve brews and biscuits between films. Printing money.

Elizabeth Warren has been in Washington for over a decade. During that time, the federal government has spent roughly $80 trillion. If after $80 trillion your solution is still "tax Elon Musk," you're admitting the problem isn't revenue... it's government spending.

NEWS: Here’s the new deal for J Batt at Kentucky. He’ll average $3 million per year over six years. The school will also pay his Michigan State buyout, per the contract. This puts him in top-tier of AD payment in SEC and nationally.

the existence of TSA Agents in Paw Patrol implies that 9/11 happened in the Paw Patrol universe therefore confirming the existence of Paw-Qaeda

One of the most laughable things on the internet is all the people in our government who have amassed a 39 trillion dollar debt telling us that if they could just tax Elon’s wealth, they could fix everything they have broken. 😂🤡

It would break the World Cup audience to find out the biggest stadium used for the event is the 14th biggest in the country

All of Europe has 32 stadiums with a capacity of 60,000 or more. The United States has 107. We didn't need to build any new stadiums to host the World Cup.

When Jimmy Carter purchased the teachers’ union’s endorsement in 1979 by establishing the Department of Education, the USA was #1 in education. 46 years and $4.1 trillion dollars later, the USA is #40. We are, however, #1 in cost per student.
