Produced this video for @MorePerfectUS with @chaidingari about the astronomical ticket prices for the 2026 World Cup. We asked... why?? It's a perfect storm between FIFA's practices & the U.S. system. Watch below for an explainer, some fixes... and plenty of Scotland fans āš½ļø

NEW: World Cup tickets cost up to $11.5 million ā€” you could get into the last WC for $11. This time FIFA could rake in $13 billion using dynamic pricing, resales, and lax U.S. rules. We found FIFA President Gianni Infantino funneling that money into keeping himself in power.

Ron DeSantis has shaken up the liberal arts haven of New College of Florida, driving 40% of faculty to quit and leaving students in the lurch. New York's @BardCollege is stepping in to help, with a new program launching today fastcompany.com/90954258/howā€¦ @JoyAnnReid @MSNBC

How a New York school stepped in to help a Florida college targeted by Ron DeSantis

"Bard has been a proselytizer of rigorous liberal arts and sciences education in places where it's underdeveloped, inaccessible, or absent,ā€ says professor Jonathan Becker. Now, that includes Florida.

Republicans had high hopes for DeSantis. He was "Trump without the baggage." But he's gone from bagging a historic landslide reelection in Florida to tanking in favorability. Ahead of tonight's GOP debate, I assess what happened: fastcompany.com/90943241/ronā€¦

Ron DeSantis's campaign is flailing. People in Florida aren't surprised

The Inflation Reduction Act was a climate bill, not really an economic one. A year later, its impact on inflation is looking more significant and surprising than expected. @FastCompany @TalibVisram fastcompany.com/90937546/didā€¦

Did the Inflation Reduction Act actually help lower inflation?

Was the Inflation Reduction Act a bill that meaningfully targeted inflation, or 'well-placed marketing'?
