People seem confused about World Cup pay. Each team gets paid from a total pot.

Prize money:

Women's 2019 World Cup = $30 million (~23%)
Men's 2018 World Cup = $400 million (~7%)

Now for revenue:

Women's estimate = $131 million
Men's revenue = over $6 Billion
There has been a lot of misinformation about this. People keep confusing (or intentionally conflating) U.S. team revenue with total FIFA Word Cup revenue on which these prizes are based.

The actual numbers speak for themselves.
A lot of the confusion is coming from bad reporting. Media outlets keep comparing the US women's team and the US men's team, but the comparison makes no sense with an international sport. US women's team takes higher % than their equivalent on men's side (French national team).
Here is my full article on this and the associated press coverage: nationalreview.com/corner/about-t…

1) We should want immigrants who assimilate and adopt American values.

2) Omar has not done that.

3) Omar is one person. There are bad people in every group. It is wrong and baseless to suggest she is representative of immigrants or even refugees.
Omar is dishonest, hateful, ungrateful, and anti-American. But there are plenty of people born here that are just as bad. And there are millions of immigrants that represent and fight for American values better than those people.

Don’t judge groups based on their worst members.
Of course part of the problem here is that the far left and their media allies are also interested in conflating Omar and other immigrants as a way of defending her deplorable and otherwise indefensible behavior.

It's really annoying that people, including reporters, can't even do basic research about the topics they write about. It's really not that hard to gather accurate information in 2019.
Apparently I have to do everything for people. Fine. On the Soccer pay gap:

I address the World Cup pay here: nationalreview.com/corner/about-t…

It's clear that if anything, the women's teams are paid more relative to the men's teams based on the revenue each side generates.
The topic of the USSF pay is much more complicated, but people are also getting a lot of things wrong there.

There is a slight pay disparity based on the collective bargaining agreements, but it is not as significant as people pretend and has a lot of factors.

After the SOTU last night, there's a lot of talk today about ending the HIV epidemic. Regardless of what the Trump administration actually does, it's worth taking some time to look at the most important work that needs to be done - this informs what we need to fight for.
Because a cure for HIV has been so elusive, from an epidemiological standpoint, ending the HIV epidemic largely means preventing new infections. (This is almost tautological: if we can't cure HIV, the only other way to reduce its prevalence is to stop it from spreading.)
For the first ~30 years of HIV, prevention efforts (to the extent they existed) were largely focused on three things:

- testing blood before blood/tissue donation
- condoms for gay men, trans women, and sex workers
- needles for IV drug users

A timeline compilation!

Information every thinking American should clearly understand: Foxes in the Demo Hen House exposed....
From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been impaneled.
Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation were declared. Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out.

dammit doctorow did good on this thread
so to focus in on my pet meme peeve "this website is free" is it in fact proportionally a better deal than say designer jeans, or my grad school education (of the latter, absolutely). If Hermes is going to take your purchase as a trigger to fawn over for you for years, awaiting
the same chance with the same fervent mind games and fantasy world building, (you're a *valued* client, you're a VIP) as something easy and face forward as "talk into the box shithead" should be a populist revolution, the most power we could ever extract in mid to late cap.
