The overriding element that's allowed all this to happen is we have the weakest legislative branch in U.S. history. It's maddeningly passive &deferential.Even the opposition party(the Dems)are like (to quote Robin Williams) a traffic cop on Valium. "Stop. Or I'll say stop again".

Do not underestimate how much more expensive Paul Seixas is for a French team, compared to non-French teams like UAE Team Emirates, INEOS-TotalEnergies or Visma-Lease a Bike. Let's say Paul Seixas wants €4M on his bank account... French law requires riders to be employed, and to receive a ~€4M net salary, Decathlon CMA-CGM would have to pay Paul Seixas a gross salary of ~€5-7M, employer contributions of ~€2M, and an image rights payment of ~€1M. That is a total cost of ~€8-10M for Decathlon-CMA CGM. If Paul Seixas moves to Andorra and signs with a non-French team as a self-employed entity, the team only has to pay him ~€4.5M for Seixas to have €4M on his bank account. This means non-French teams can offer significantly more net pay for Seixas than Decathlon-CMA CGM, and still spend less in total. 💸



Kat Abughazaleh on the US military "I think we need to be slashing the Pentagon's budget and closing many of our military bases overseas. We need to investigate companies and contractors in the military industrial complex that have robbed the tax payers for their own profit."
