Back in the World Cup Finals of 1974, the opening ceremony saw each nation come out of collapsing giant footballs in their national dress.
Here is Scotland!

@A_Sober_Drunk @1_awesome_life @RealEmirHan Now do a comparison where the hero is the hero which is also cliche’d to death

@Number10cat @elonmusk And this makes Spain, UK, EU, France et al right, does it?

Europe is behind in technology. China doesn’t benefit or gain from European tech sectors that already are shit compared to theirs.
The US knows that it is head and shoulders above everyone else. That’s why it acts the way it is. It is way ahead in the AI race, and knows the future already belongs to it.

🇨🇳 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇪🇺 After a single year of relentless pressure, public threats, and open insults from Donald Trump, the United States has crossed a red line among its allies. What began as transactional bullying has now hardened into something more serious. A strategic rupture.
Europe and Canada have quietly but decisively started to reorient their future trade away from Washington and toward China and India.
This is the moment the race is decided.
China and India together represent nearly three billion people. The United States, with roughly three hundred million, suddenly looks small. Not just smaller, but structurally limited. Market size matters. Demographics matter. Momentum matters. A combined consumer and industrial base ten times larger than that of the US is not a detail. It is destiny.
For decades, the United States benefited from being the default partner. Trusted. Predictable. Anchored in alliances. That advantage is now evaporating. Trade does not like uncertainty, and it absolutely does not like humiliation. When allies are treated as subordinates, they eventually leave.
The European Union, with its enormous economic weight, advanced manufacturing, and regulatory power, is already adapting. European companies are accelerating partnerships in Asia. Supply chains are being redesigned with long time horizons in mind. India is becoming the preferred growth story. China remains the indispensable industrial engine. Together, they form a gravitational center that capital cannot ignore.
As Europe and Canada reduce exposure to the US market, the consequences for America are symmetrical but harsher. Reduced access. Fewer preferential terms. Lower foreign investment. A weaker dollar over time. Slower growth. Economic decline does not arrive with a crash. It arrives as missed opportunities that never return.
Meanwhile, China and India gain exactly what the US is losing. Stable partners. Long term contracts. Technology transfer. Market access. Scale advantages that compound year after year.
This is not about ideology. It is about arithmetic. Three billion beats three hundred million. Every time.
The great irony is that the United States did not lose this race because it was outcompeted. It lost because it chose to alienate the very alliances that made its dominance possible. In trying to look strong, it made itself smaller.
History is ruthless about this kind of mistake. Markets move on. Power follows.

@Connor27331524 @PrattNewma48705 @Sarah_kally1 That’s not how it works - fire someone start of shift you still pay them for that shift when they will (rightly) do nothing. What sense does that make to a business?
English

@PrattNewma48705 @Sarah_kally1 What I’m saying is if you intend to fire someone then do it before the start of their shift. Don’t wait until the end when everything is done.

@Thewiseman1234 @staylorish You think it’s a good thing that most of Scotland earn barely above a full time minimum wage?. What a success story that is
English

@Top100Rick @zagnut They only care about money, instead of an appearance fee if they got $0 for a loss and $500k the win you would see an entirely different motivation - it’s just how they are wired
English

@zagnut Anyone can say they care.
But actual care is shown by effort.

🚨Breaking from Bethpage 🚨
This is from an insider who was on premise all week at Bethpage. 100% verified. This person wants it known that it wasn’t just pairings and setup.
Team USA simply didn’t prepare!
Why did Team USA start off seemingly lost? Why couldn’t they read a green for two days? How was Europe so ready?
Is it so simple that Team USA barely played Bethpage Black, while Team Europe played it over and over?
Imagine how much better they would know the course with 7-8 plays versus 1-2 plays for the Americans.
This is hugely embarrassing. We have all been focused on the setup and pairings, rightly. But if this is accurate, Team USA simply didn’t play the course they were playing for the Cup enough!
This person gave permission for me to release this info. He/She wants it known how unserious the USA team took this event. There is real anger that the USA Team presents that they are 100% invested, when in reality that’s not true. Or at least they didn’t prepare like it’s a major.
If this is true, I’m pissed and all team USA fans should be pissed.

@Mike_kim714 @JosephLaMagna @fried_egg_golf Genuine question - should the clamour for change not have happened after 1991 when it benefited the US team? Just glad it didn’t matter in the end anyway.

@nanato18babies @hippojuicefilm If you pay your gratuity in the package you are not then charged again for it onboard so there is no need to turn it off.
English

For clarity, my husband and I took our first cruise last year. You have to have a card on file, you can't pay for anything on the cruise. We included our gratuity in the cruise package, as most do. We tipped our room concierge, he was fabulous. But the overall gratuity is a lump sum to make it easier for us, and for the crew. I am thinking that the majority of these people did the same. So they may be turning it off, because it was already purchased with their ticket price. And I assume since you have a card on file, each and every purchase would be an auto tip.
