I I’ll never forgive people who voted for Trump. This is on them. The Lincoln Memorial is hallowed ground. Where our greatest president, who gave his life to end slavery, is commentated. Where the Gettysburg Address is written. We live as graffiti now.

@wayneleedsfan It’s only been 16 years since we had to listen to those godawful buzzers in South Africa that buzzed throughout all 90 minutes. I’ll gladly take music.

Why are Americans obsessed with playing music at any opportunity during the match. Pack it in.

@hankgreen If it was so bad, why didn’t any other governments or nonprofits step into the funding gap?

It’s funny, motocross at the White House is, like, fine with me. But here’s an example of something that is genuinely unforgivable but that a lot of people seem to have moved right past.

Trung Phan@TrungTPhan·
The World Cup’s mandatory 3-minute “hydration break” is most devious ad unit inevntion since YouTube’s triple pre-roll back-to-back unskippable ad. Across 104 matches, FIFA now has 624 minutes (10 hours) of new ad inventory. That’s total of $500m potential new ad revenue that didn’t exist before (~$400k per 30-second slot). Hydration breaks in previous year were called if heat/humidity crossed a threshold. An estimated 200-250 million people watched Brazil vs. Morocco (Super Bowl is 130 million-ish, but still juiciest ad rates at $8m per 30 second spot). *** WSJ says ad range start at $250k (early games) to $750k or more for top-attraction matches (eg US games) for 30-second slot: wsj.com/sports/soccer/…

This the basic difference. Republicans believe that that if you let the wealthy spend capital it will make Americans prosperous. Democrats believe that the federal government investing in the healthcare & education of our people will make America prosperous & productive.
Don Wilson@drwconvexity

@RoKhanna I am highly confident society will derive greater benefit if that capital is in Elon’s hands than in the hands of the government.

@RoKhanna Nothing is stoping democrats from voluntarily paying more taxes if they think giving more money to the government is a good thing.

@sillymechanix @ErikVoorhees Correction - any car company could make electric cars and capitalize on the incentives. Tesla was the only company to successfully do it

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good. The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX. And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen. Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

What happens with SpaceX - it's $165 a share right now, does it go to $400? or drop to $75?
