Hillary Clinton beat Trump by nearly 3M votes, but because of the fucking electoral college Trump won. Scrap the damn electoral college - because every vote should carry the same weight.
@SinBinVegas This is honestly a lot later than I thought it would be. It shocks me because I thought this game would be at 10:00 a.m. only because they have WrestleMania on Sunday and I'm sure Vegas wants to make it early for people going to WrestleMania can still attend.
The United States is so toxic on the world stage right now that it can’t fill hotels or sell World Cup tickets.
Let that land.
FIFA projected $30.5 billion in economic impact from millions of international visitors.
That demand never showed up.
Hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco have slashed match-day rates by a third from their peak.
FIFA has cancelled tens of thousands of reserved rooms across all 16 host cities.
Some hotels report cancellation rates above 95%.
The reasons aren’t hard to find. Anti-American sentiment. Fear of border crossings. The Iran war driving up oil prices and airfares. And tickets priced into the stratosphere, with finals seats hitting $10,990 a pop.
Industry executives are now openly blaming the Trump administration for the shortfall.
Tourism economists say the Iran war made an already bad sentiment problem worse.
Empty stadiums are now a real possibility.
It happened at the Club World Cup last summer.
It could happen again, on American soil, at the biggest sporting event on the planet.
The White House says this will be “the greatest World Cup ever.”
The market disagrees.

Canada just proposed a $500,000 exit tax on citizens who leave...
Let that sink in.
They're not taxing what you earned.
They're taxing your decision to leave.
This is what happens when governments panic.
And it won't stop at Canada.
The ones who planned ahead already left.
@AAfeCC111@Polymarket And yet we have freedom of speech, which you don’t. We have guns, which you can’t. We have wealth, which you don’t either. All around a shithole country.
@Polymarket In America you go broke when you get sick
You can't walk outside without maybe getting shot
There is dogshit in the food and zero regulations on pollution
Should I keep going....
@GoldenKnights 5 out of 8 is crazy when u think about it! Shows damn good excellence upland consistency since opening up as a franchise! Can’t wait for the playoffs!!
@SinBinVegas@DHockeyseed Imagine if you had asked, “Do you feel a little silly having taken Smith out of the lineup then he immediately scores goals?” Hahahah you’d get an epic response 😂
I’m 37 years old. I don’t care about any other sports. I’ve been a die hard Yankees fan my entire life…
But I’m truly starting to hate this organization. I need this regime gone. I need this philosophy banished.
Sitting our hottest hitter two nights in a row. PH for a guy who is red hot. This isn’t baseball. This is the reason they are never going to win. I love baseball because it’s the sport that needs human touch. It needs intangibility just as much as it needs anything else. I’m watching a computerized version of the team I’ve always loved and I’m so unbelievably tired of it.
If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:
Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M
That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.
It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
@SinBinVegas Awesome! What a fantastic third to lock it down. While it was a rough season, it sure was a fun finish to the regular season. Took it to Seattle in the third and crushed them.
