You really believe that? I think much of the public will willingly bend over for it if they think they can get a few scraps. I think there are amny who think the rich are special people who have special rights to impose their will on the rest of us (but, of course, because they are smart enough to recognize this, they will get the bigger scraps)>The public cares a whole lot more about getting fucked up the ass by the billionaire class

It's definitely the height of something (hubris? parochialism? whatever... ) when an American sports league plays for what they proudly declare to be a 'World Championship' — but with one exception, no team from anywhere in the world outside of the USA is permitted to participate.hays1

I was disappointed to learn that only one player on the Blue Jays roster is actually a Canadian - all the rest of them are ugly Americans.Bicycle Bill wrote: ↑Sun Oct 26, 2025 8:48 pmIt's definitely the height of something (hubris? parochialism? whatever... ) when an American sports league plays for what they proudly declare to be a 'World Championship' — but with one exception, no team from anywhere in the world outside of the USA is permitted to participate.hays1
