What’s the difference between America and the NY Jets? One is a global laughing stock due to epic mismanagement and embarrassing failures and the other is a football team.
It's deeply embarrassing how cheaply billionaires and corporations buy our politicians.
I remember Comcast was buying votes from some members of Congress for like $4,000, basically nothing to Comcast, less than pennies for a normal person.
The Clippers are awful… and I’m saying this as a Suns fan living in LA. I’d root for the Lakers before I cheer for such a losing culture. Even Suns democrats have a line they won’t cross.
In fairness it is because he spent the money to buy twitter that he had the influence to do this and that seems to have always been the value for a billionaire owning twitter, but yeah.
We are obnoxiously cheap for being the richest nation ever.
It feels like something they could get away with, especially in light of the Supreme Court decision granting immunity. Why bother being a dictator when you can just loot the place and face no consequences? Blanket pardon everyone, live like kings, no boring government stuff.
