I feel like @MisterCarWash has *got* to be a private equity-held company because literally every single one I’ve gone to has shredded the paint on my car and anytime I call them or email them to ask about repairs there is zero response. Time for soap/water. 🤷🏽

Lalas has said he’s paid to entertain not analyze, but this is telling. If you insist expectations can/should depend upon aged, foreign superstars pushing the envelope, you’re conceding that able-bodied, ‘in-prime,’ American-made squads are unremarkable. goal.com/en-us/lists/that-s-…

Wow. So close yet so far from Lalas. Almost, just almost, understood that until American soccer is a legitimately investible #promotion and #relegation structure there is no remotely comparable thrill or ROI for most soccer investors worldwide.

And so American cities, which once had dense, walkable, and vibrant city centres like those of Europe, with cheap and effective public transport, were changed in one fell swoop. The rise of the car may have been inevitable, but the transformation of the cities was not.

And so this process was neither inevitable nor accidental; it was a conscious decision to turn American cities into automobile cities, entirely dependent on the car. Once the old streetcar system was removed and highways ploughed through the cities, cars became the only option.

Car Bubble was not on my 2023 bingo card.
This morning I discovered something *extremely* alarming happening in the car market, specifically in auto lending. I'm now convinced that there is a massive wave of car repossessions coming in 2023. Here's what I discovered (and what no one knows):

They tried to tell us. They tried to save us from this. We didn't listen. #KeystonePipeline #oilspill
Meanwhile, @USMNT, @ussoccer are like, 'Ehhhhh #BerhalterOut seems a bit harsh...our system needs more time to gel.'

Good God, this pass alone is worthy of the cup. #NEDARG #Albiceleste #Messi𓃵
The reverse pass from Messi 🥵
1st WC where the US has a wide range of internationals...but we chose a classically American coach who leads with 'heart' & w/o clinical precision. We deserve more. Clearly @USMNT was not led by #Berhalter to study specific final 3rd defensive & offensive strategies for #NED

Each #NED goal was an unmarked runner arriving - w/nobody noticing - on a back cross. Each #USMNT arrival in the attacking 3rd was improvisational, not steady, well practiced clockwork. Our lone goal was an accident. If #Berhalter isn't sacked immediately, what's the point?

But one thing is like clockwork, @clint_dempsey @AlexiLalas & @landondonovan continously delivering soft analysis. If only this, that. A few steps behind Depay. Any real footballing commentator would be utterly shredding #Berhalter's prep regime and tactical decisions.

I know enough Latin to know what vox, populi, & Dei are, but was curious about other references w/this phrase & found this in a letter from Alcuin of York to Charlemagne: "Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit."
The people have spoken. Trump will be reinstated. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.

Which according to the all-knowing Wikipedia is: "And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness." Anyways. 45 vs. Murdoch, et al. will require popcorn.
Something I have to explain to founders over and over (and which must therefore be counterintuitive): You don't have to convince investors that you're guaranteed to be huge, just that it's a sufficiently good bet.
