Iran doesn’t want the US to collapse, they want rational actors in the White House. They had a stable plan under Obama then Trump came along and started complaining about random “bad deals” and scrapped the agreements.
I mean at the end of the day athletes are entertainers. And just like actors or singers, it doesn’t matter if you’re very good at what you do if you can’t land the paid gigs or sell yourself in some way. And the people making the big money are going to be a small few at the very top.
The top of entertainment. Vast majority compete in sports with little-to-no money in them. Being only a small part of a two-week competition every four years.
Now, personally, I think competing on the Olympics should come with an automatic $50k bonus, but I don’t have control over that.
This is the exact same thing as Superbowl cheerleaders being “paid” with “exposure.” What gig can they land that is bigger than The Superbowl? What gig can the literal best athletes in the world land that is bigger than The Olympics? There isn’t one. The people running both of those events are stuffing their own pockets and treating the people who do the actual work as slaves.
No hourly, no salary. They are literal gig workers, most of whom make $22,000-$25,000 per year. The ones at The Superbowl, aka the absolute top tier cheerleaders, might make a whole $70,000 a year. They may as well not be getting paid for how little they make compared to everyone else in the industry.
Added emphasis. They aren’t guaranteed to make that much, and the places that they have to live to be able to make that much, a janitor better be making more than 70k. That isn’t a liveable wage on the west coast, which is where you have to be to make that much.
I have no idea where you live but I am guessing you have a decent income. It is coming off a bit “how much could one banana cost”.
Janitors in Los Angeles apparently make around $50,000. Minimum wage is of course quite a bit less than that. I am sure there are a lot of people on “the west coast” that would like to make a “living wage”.
I live in San Diego. I do make a lot, but with rents the way they are around here, not to mention gas prices, I’ve no idea how anyone is doing anything but barely surviving on 50k a year out here.
I know people don’t get paid that much, but I don’t know how they do it, and I refuse to pay employees that poorly.
Whatever blip Bud Light experienced was due to their flip flopping. I was ready to start stocking up for our annual July 04 bash and would have gone out of my way to buy some (even though I don’t normally) until they rolled over for the magas and fired the person responsible for sending that single can of bud light to a trans influencer. I know others had a similar thought process, because I’ve seen it discussed online and in meatspace.
I’m sure I’ve bought products that they own since then unknowingly, but haven’t knowingly bought an AB product since then. All they had to do was take a stance, but they proved to be exactly what all megacorps are - greedy and spineless. Edit: Just like Target, I might add.
I was able to find a longer clip of her via BBC iPlayer, but the IOC are copyright striking any videos outside of their official paid channels. How can it go viral when the IOC are so antiviral?!
Casual racism is what laid the foundation of his cult. He stoked the flames for 8 years with an obsession when Obama hurt his fee-fees at a correspondents dinner and he’s been riding on that wave this whole time
