  • It’s a lack of joined up thinking is what it is. Surely the US want as many people as possible at the tournaments (or at least city officials do, it’s anyone’s guess what the admin think is going on), the amount of money tourists pay to stay in a hotel will far exceed the amount of money they pay on these over inflated public transit tickets. So make public transit affordable, so they actually come to the event, stay in the hotel, and spend money in the local economy.

    Or you can try and price gouge them on a bus ticket and they won’t come. Now you’ve made no money at all, well done.

    The US’s problem isn’t that it’s a hyper capitalist country, it’s a hyper capitalist country run by MBA business study incompetents who only care about chasing short term profits at the expense of long-term profits.








  • That’s the problem with religion.

    In theory it’s quite good most religions tell you to be nice and kind to each other, the problem is if you break those rules nothing actually happens to you, no God comes down from the heavens and strikes you down with righteous lightning. In fact not only does nothing happen to you but the establishment set up to promote the religion now protects you from the consequences of you breaking the religions own rules.

    Might as well just become an investment banker, at least they don’t pretend to have rules.










  • “Of course, every country should have the freedom to decide whom it wants to host,” Mentzen added. “I don’t want immigrants from savage countries in Poland, I don’t want murderers and rapists. The British don’t want people with my views.”

    Right so what’s the problem again?

    Also

    “Only certain views are censored,” declared Mentzen. “If I were an Islamic fundamentalist publicly demanding that gays be thrown from towers, that disobedient women’s faces be burned with acid, and that Israel be destroyed, I wouldn’t have a problem."

    Try it. I dare you.

    What a prat.
