Jeff Bezos and Facebook's Eduardo Saverin are planning to buy a large stake in Liverpool FC. This is terrible and should be blocked. Football clubs should be owned by the countries they are in so the money from their supporters goes back to THEIR communities.

FIFA is right, there has been a ‘concerted effort to undermine’ Infantino. For good reason and entirely because of his own corrupt, unethical, and unprofessional behaviour. Not really sure how the accusation of a campaign against him counts as a criticism or defence.

El-Sayed: "Imagine if instead of paying that to your health insurance company, whose CEO makes $20m a year, you paid a little bit more in taxes for healthcare you wouldn't lose. I think all of us would a lot more interested in that system if we knew our healthcare would be free at point of care"

CBS fired the team that made 60 Minutes must-watch TV. Now that team is reportedly building a $50M rival, with the same reporters, the same producers, the same rigor. You don’t get to keep the brand if you let the talent walk.
