@amelia_tweetz Many Europeans sell everything they own to afford to go and use credit cards , they also bribe doctors to write them a sick note for 6 weeks to say they have a back or mental heath issues.
Watching the World Cup has me asking questions. Do Europeans get issued 8 weeks of vacation, unlimited airline miles, and a trust fund at birth? Because every match I turn on there are 40,000 fans following their team to a different state or country on a Tuesday afternoon while Americans are hiding in a work bathroom checking scores.
@amelia_tweetz In the UK 5.7 weeks annual leave by statute. So football fans save thier leave and take it for the cup. For the cost there are credit cards.
On the other side of the deal we earn less, are taxed to death and living is more expensive and the housing market is a ponzi scheme.
@BeckBronson62@amelia_tweetz#1 in what? By the happiness and quality-of-life indices, US pales. I guess it depends on what you think is important. Having lived in both, US policies seem to dictate that $$$ is important, while in Europe it's people.
@amelia_tweetz Amelia, it's why Europe's economy has languished since WWII and the USA has become a juggernaut. Euro's don't think twice about taking a month+ off from work (and they can!) and touring the US for soccer. I've has two 2 week vacas in 30 yrs of service-no complaints but why US #1
@amelia_tweetz The European economy benefits from money invested by Arab sheikhs, Russian oligarchs, and some corrupt politicians from Africa and Asia. The United States is generally stricter regarding anti-money-laundering enforcement.
I just booked my first Amtrak journey from Washington DC to NYC in July!
As a German who’s used to taking trains across the country I’m so excited to finally try out the inter-city train system in the United States 🇺🇸🚅
@AnnatheBlack@RachelA2222@JoshLilj1 The fact that you're championing a Joe Rogan guest tells me all I need to know. And I've lost interest in this discussion.
@senagles@RachelA2222@JoshLilj1 Keep your pain and drugged up then. It’s only a change in diet.
I think the surgeon/world champion athlete on the Joe Rogan podcasts I linked may know a little more about the research than yourself.
He was quite scientific.
@ChladekNicholas@WUTangKids CBS? The network that has told its anchors to be pro-Trump? I could find plenty of other sources but you won't believe them because you're in a cult. And I'm bored with you now.
So throw down to second on every ball 4 with a runner in first because if they come off the base after first contact, they’re out. Am I getting that right?
SANITY TEST:
It's driving me nuts to see so many grown folks (Republicans) play make believe with trump about reflecting pool vandals.
Raise your hand if you believe the vandalism excuse is BULLSHIT, and trump's stupidity is why the pool failed.🤚
@Osler4Kelly@mmpadellan Obama didn't trash other presidents or brag about how he was going to make it the best pool ever. If Trump had kept his mouth shut and just had the pool redone, people wouldn't care. But he has to make everything about him and takes every chance he can to trash Biden and Obama.
‼️‼️‼️ HOLY HELL: Watch Ted Lieu state that in the un-redacted Epstein Files there are “highly disturbing allegations” of Donald Trump raping children and threatening to kill children.
He wants to know why these files remain sealed and no arrests have happened, suggesting a major cover-up.
Ted references specific claims like a limo driver’s FBI statement about a girl later found dead who claimed Trump and Epstein raped her.
@AnnatheBlack@RachelA2222@JoshLilj1 When there is actual clinical evidence of this, I'll pay attention. Until then I'm not wasting my time on unscientific ideas.
This is our plan for the coming days. The next game we’ll attend is Germany’s Round of 32 match in Boston on the 29th. Since we have 7 days to get there, we decided not to take the direct route and instead make a huge detour through Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and a few other states. Any recommendations for places or cities to visit along the way are very welcome!
@AnnatheBlack@RachelA2222@JoshLilj1 If you have had an improvement in your symptoms, I'm happy for you. There are different types of RA and they respond differently. But there is no scientific evidence that a diet that she doesn't even do anymore is curing RA.
